Tinderbox

I saw your lean-legged body
I saw your cigarette
Just like a classic Western
The moment our eyes met
You may be no good for me
But you light me up like a Tinderbox
I play it strong and silent
Acting too cool to care
Maybe it's the hint of violence
Keeping us frozen here
You may be no good for me
But you light me up like a Tinderbox
I know you're good for nothing
I know you're stone cold rotten
I know I want you badly, too

Paris (Ooh La La)

You got me down on the floor
So what'd you bring me down here for?
You got me down on the floor
So what'd you bring me down here for?
If I was a man I'd make my move
If I was a blade I'd shave you smooth
If I was a judge I'd break the law
And if I was from Paris
If I was from Paris
I would say
Oooh la la la la lala
You got me up on your swing
So when you gonna shake that thing?
You got me up on your swing
So when you gonna shake that thing?
If I was a man I'd make my move
If I was a blade I'd shave you smooth
If I was a judge I'd break the law
And if I was from Paris
If I was from Paris
I would say
Oooh la la
If I was a man I'd make my move
If I was a blade I'd shave you smooth
If I was a judge I'd break the law
And if I was from Paris
If I was from Paris
I would say
Oooh la la

Do It All

You turn me
You twist me
You mold me
You make me
You turn me
You twist me
You fold me
You break me
Still I would do it all
Do it all for you

Autumn Falls

When your curtain falls,
When your spotlight fades,
Take me home
When your hand's been played,
All your plans waylaid--
Take me home
It's your autumn that I love the most
It's when you're graying that I'll hold you closest
And I swear I'd never hold it against you
That your garden is losing its green...
We were never meant
We were never meant to be
We were never meant
You and me
When you're brought down to
Your hands and your knees
I'll take you home
When you're praying in silence
To a god that don't hear you
I'll make you my own
It's your frailty that moves me the most
When you're deserted,
I'll hold you closest.
You know they'll call us unnatural
And they'll turn their backs to us
And we won't give a damn
We were never meant
We were never meant to be
We were never meant
You and me

Playing House

Well damn, I've done it again
Done it again:
I've shown my cards too fast.
And it's a crying shame,
A crying shame
Cause he doesn't think it's meant to last
And why do I give myself over
Expecting I'll get in return?
Oh, I could cry
I could cry
But a river of my tears
Wouldn't move him anymore
Well damn,
Fallen again, fallen again
Trying to run in the dark
And it's a crying shame
A crying shame;
We were off to a beautiful start
And why do we call ourselves lovers
When love is the last thing he wants
Oh, I could cry
I could cry
An ocean of tears
Can't reach his island heart
So in the end it turns out
We were just playing house
Well damn, I've done it again
Done it again:
I've shown my cards too fast.
And it's a crying shame,
A crying shame
Cause he doesn't think it's meant to last
And why do I give myself over
Expecting I'll get in return?
Oh, I could cry
I could cry
But a river of my tears
Wouldn't move him anymore
So in the end it turns out
We were just playing house
You're not the first to tell me I ask too much
And most likely you won't be the last
All I want is a home
A real little home that's not as fragile as glass
