Dancing with myself (1981)

Lyrics

On the floors of Tokyo
A-down in London town’s a go go
A-with the record selection,
And the mirror’s reflection,
I’m a dancin’ with myself
A-when there’s no one else in sight,
A-in crowded lonely night
Well, I wait so long for my love vibration
And I’m dancing with myself
Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there’s nothing to lose
And there’s nothing to prove, well,
Dancing a-with myself
If I looked all over the world
And there’s every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancin’ with myself.
So let’s sink another drink
Cause it’ll give me time to think
If I had the chance I’d ask the world to dance
And I’ll be dancin’ with myself
Oh oh, Dancing with a-myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
Well, there’s nothing to lose
And there’s nothing to prove, well,
Dancing a-with myself
Well if I looked all over the world
And there’s every type of girl
But your empty eyes seem to pass me by
And leave me dancin’ with myself.
So let’s sink another drink
Cause it’ll give me time to think
If I had the chance I’d ask the world to dance
And I’ll be dancin’ with myself
Oh oh, Dancing a-with myself,
Oh, oh, dancing with myself
If I had the chance I’d ask the world to dance
If I had the chance I’d ask the world to dance
If I had the chance I’d ask the world to dance
Oh, oh, oh, oh oh
Oh, oh, oh dancin’ with myself.
Oh, oh, dancin’ with myself, oh, oh,
Sweat, sweat, etc.

Lyrics

Whoa yeah
It was a night, L.A., burning bright
Oh what a night
Say yeah, come on

Save me now (2014)

Lyrics

I trusted a priest
I fell to his feet
And he raised me up there
Then cut me off at the knees
I trusted the law
They didn’t help me at all
I wound up black, blue, screwed
In the back of his car
I don’t want to wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don’t want to do it alone
I need you here with me now
I don’t want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I’ll never give up
But I need you to save me now
Well they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes it’s over, yes it’s over
They’re lying
I don’t want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now
I once had a girl, I gave her my world
But she played around, put me down
Still wanted the pearl
So I went to a priest
Yes I fell to his feet
And he just raised me up
To cut me off at the knees
I don’t want to wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don’t want to do it alone
I need you here with me now
I don’t want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I’ll never give up
But I need you to save me now
‘Cause the priest and the law
Truth is pounding at the door
Yes it’s over, yes it’s over
They’re dying
I don’t want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now
I don’t want to wake up alone
I need you to hear me now
I don’t want to do it alone
I need you here with me now
I don’t want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
They got me and I’ll never give up
But I need you to save me now
Well they feed upon the poor
My head is banging on the floor
Yes it’s over, yes it’s over
They’re lying
I don’t want to wait for your love
I need you to save me now
Save me now

Can’t break me down (2014)

Lyrics

The devil’s house in the shape of a chapel
You hid the knife in the core of an apple
Burn me, try to hurt me
Try to hit me when my back was turning
I saw you wait where the shadows are growing
You’re talking straight
But your colors are showing
Burn me, try to hurt me
Try to get me when my head was turning
You want to rain on my survival story
You’re crazy baby ’cause I’ve never had a doubt
I’m singin’ songs about love and glory
Oh oh oh
Your gun went
BANG BANG BANG
You shot me to the ground
But you can’t break me down
BANG BANG BANG
You tried to knock me out
No, you can’t break me down
It’s just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I’m the original assassin
I come up for more
You put me up so you can watch me crumble
I always knew you were some kind of trouble
Lurking, you can’t hurt me
‘Cause I see just how your evil’s working
A silver tongue with the best of intentions
But you’re a child with the cruelest inventions
Burning, you’re just hurtin’
I know somewhere deep in hell you’re workin’
You want to rain on my survival story
You’re crazy baby ’cause I never had a doubt
I’m singing songs about love and glory
Oh oh oh
Your gun went
BANG BANG BANG
You shot me to the ground
But you can’t bring me down
BANG BANG BANG
You try to knock me out
No, you can’t break me down
It’s just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I’m the original assassin
I come up for more
You don’t know what you started
You hit but missed the target
BANG BANG BANG
You shot me to the ground
But you can’t break me down
BANG BANG BANG
You tried to knock me out
No, you can’t break me down
It’s just my natural reaction
When I hit the floor
I’m the original assassin
I come up for more
