Center Of The Sun lyrics - The 88
Drag me out of eye for eye
With Sundayʼs souls
Who live to die
And leave me in the pouring rain
To know myself
To feel my pain
Cause Iʼve been drawing closer every day
To the center of the sun
And though Iʼd like to tell you I could stay
I know Iʼm already gone
Then prop me up with stilts on fire
With ash and smoke
But still no higher
But easy now the die is cast
Who once was first
Will soon be last
With Sundayʼs souls
Who live to die
And leave me in the pouring rain
To know myself
To feel my pain
Cause Iʼve been drawing closer every day
To the center of the sun
And though Iʼd like to tell you I could stay
I know Iʼm already gone
Then prop me up with stilts on fire
With ash and smoke
But still no higher
But easy now the die is cast
Who once was first
Will soon be last
They Ought To See You Now lyrics - The 88
You took their breath with just a little wink
You had their heart with just a dance
Had them crawling, yeah you made them think
Ah that they really had a chance
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Yeah you were meant for only sunny days
You had the silver in your mouth
Ah but life has got a funny way
Of ripping all that silver out
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Oh we loved those lips
And so fine hips
That you used to shake
Yeah you take what you could take
Yeah well maybe we're all better off this way
I heard about it from a friend of mine
He said they really did you in
Said you're hard enough to say you're fine
But it was written in your skin
Down and alone
And never shown how
Ah somehow
Yeah somehow
Ah somehow
They ought to see you now
You had their heart with just a dance
Had them crawling, yeah you made them think
Ah that they really had a chance
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Yeah you were meant for only sunny days
You had the silver in your mouth
Ah but life has got a funny way
Of ripping all that silver out
Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now
Oh we loved those lips
And so fine hips
That you used to shake
Yeah you take what you could take
Yeah well maybe we're all better off this way
I heard about it from a friend of mine
He said they really did you in
Said you're hard enough to say you're fine
But it was written in your skin
Down and alone
And never shown how
Ah somehow
Yeah somehow
Ah somehow
They ought to see you now
After Hours lyrics - The 88
Honey hide all the light
Go and shut that shade
Outta sight outta mind
Is the game weʼll play
Itʼs getting harder to breathe
But tonight weʼre safe
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
And weʼll be like everyone
Well the night is a vine
And we swing so low
That we can spit on the heads
Of the friends we know
Itʼs gonna eat out of me
But if you say so
Cause after hours
With the drunks it all goes away
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Go and shut that shade
Outta sight outta mind
Is the game weʼll play
Itʼs getting harder to breathe
But tonight weʼre safe
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
And weʼll be like everyone
Well the night is a vine
And we swing so low
That we can spit on the heads
Of the friends we know
Itʼs gonna eat out of me
But if you say so
Cause after hours
With the drunks it all goes away
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone
Won't Catch Me lyrics - The 88
Iʼll stay down below
Carve out our names in wood
And under stars that glow
Iʼll be away for good
And if I find the sea
Scratch out our names in sand
And by that ocean deep
Iʼll be another man
Well Iʼve been stranded in a place called hell
And Iʼve run out of any dreams to sell
But Iʼd be gone but for the love of thee
But this here heartʼll be the death of me
Cause Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
And if I ran honey would you come
Or will you stay to be another one
Whose mouths are moving but their feet stand still
Who give their lives to what theyʼd die to kill
Well Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Baby cast it aside
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know theyʼll never catch me
Iʼm high as the flaming
Wild white dove
Whoʼs callinʼ us back
To honey where weʼre loved
Carve out our names in wood
And under stars that glow
Iʼll be away for good
And if I find the sea
Scratch out our names in sand
And by that ocean deep
Iʼll be another man
Well Iʼve been stranded in a place called hell
And Iʼve run out of any dreams to sell
But Iʼd be gone but for the love of thee
But this here heartʼll be the death of me
Cause Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
And if I ran honey would you come
Or will you stay to be another one
Whose mouths are moving but their feet stand still
Who give their lives to what theyʼd die to kill
Well Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Baby cast it aside
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know theyʼll never catch me
Iʼm high as the flaming
Wild white dove
Whoʼs callinʼ us back
To honey where weʼre loved
As Far As I Can See lyrics - The 88
I have no reason to be cold
And I should watch my words
But sometimes honey I donʼt know if I
Am really changing or
Iʼm stuck to the bottom of a mess Iʼve made
With thoughts so low
Cause Iʼve been so afraid
Oh no not that
I guess Iʼll leave it in the past
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And I have no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And when itʼs easy for me to forget
That Iʼm so loved
As long as I can let it go alright
And Iʼll be giving up the fight
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And Iʼve got no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And in the morning when I see her face
Your same set eyes
And thereʼs no other place
That I could be
At least as far as I can see
And I should watch my words
But sometimes honey I donʼt know if I
Am really changing or
Iʼm stuck to the bottom of a mess Iʼve made
With thoughts so low
Cause Iʼve been so afraid
Oh no not that
I guess Iʼll leave it in the past
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And I have no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And when itʼs easy for me to forget
That Iʼm so loved
As long as I can let it go alright
And Iʼll be giving up the fight
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And Iʼve got no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And in the morning when I see her face
Your same set eyes
And thereʼs no other place
That I could be
At least as far as I can see
Automatic Brain lyrics - The 88
You just all need to settle down
Thereʼs no need to wake the dead
Then sheʼll just be forced to come around
To take all you from my head
Yes itʼs true I donʼt sound so good
And itʼs true Iʼve been in pain
But when my gift horse is not around
Iʼm me with someone elseʼs name
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
When sheʼs gone I canʼt look at you
When sheʼs gone I go insane
Then I will be forced to hunt her down
By my automatic brain
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
Always thinking about her
You canʼt have what is ours
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
Thereʼs no need to wake the dead
Then sheʼll just be forced to come around
To take all you from my head
Yes itʼs true I donʼt sound so good
And itʼs true Iʼve been in pain
But when my gift horse is not around
Iʼm me with someone elseʼs name
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
When sheʼs gone I canʼt look at you
When sheʼs gone I go insane
Then I will be forced to hunt her down
By my automatic brain
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
Always thinking about her
You canʼt have what is ours
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
Hold On lyrics - The 88
Back when you were down and out
Up from your toes
And out of your mouth
Was that same old song
Someone mustʼve done you wrong again
Think about the things you did
Cigarettes, poems, and idiot kids
Theyʼre all famous now
But I hope you all learned how to fall
These are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Hold on
Shine on
Roll on
And hold on
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Loosen up that iron jaw
Fight to death born
Denying the law
Of that second hand
Now you see the writing and the wall
But these are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Up from your toes
And out of your mouth
Was that same old song
Someone mustʼve done you wrong again
Think about the things you did
Cigarettes, poems, and idiot kids
Theyʼre all famous now
But I hope you all learned how to fall
These are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Hold on
Shine on
Roll on
And hold on
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Loosen up that iron jaw
Fight to death born
Denying the law
Of that second hand
Now you see the writing and the wall
But these are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Dead On The Water lyrics - The 88
She had a mouth that was stolen
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I could see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I could see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me
Takes It Away lyrics - The 88
Donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Donʼt be angry
Or upset
And when youʼre crazy
Donʼt forget
That Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
And look at me
Caught on the seas
And look at me
Caught in a lie
Well lies get told
Boats get rowed
And we live life after life
So donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Yes Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Donʼt be angry
Or upset
And when youʼre crazy
Donʼt forget
That Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
And look at me
Caught on the seas
And look at me
Caught in a lie
Well lies get told
Boats get rowed
And we live life after life
So donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Yes Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Diamond In The Coal lyrics - The 88
Iʼm a habit
Youʼre some running joke
Iʼm not worth repeating
Youʼre fixed but not broke
But in that nothing
To where I was led
I searched for your reasons
But found mine instead
I had my eyes wide open
My mouth was dry
I saw the sunlight choking
On blackened skies
And when the dark came crashing
I was swallowed whole
And in the moonlight flashing
A diamond in the coal
Cursed are hands that
Touched on your skin
And cursed are the eyes
That have seen where youʼve been
But out of curses
Old sailors were shown
Thereʼs more than one wind to
Carry you home
Youʼre some running joke
Iʼm not worth repeating
Youʼre fixed but not broke
But in that nothing
To where I was led
I searched for your reasons
But found mine instead
I had my eyes wide open
My mouth was dry
I saw the sunlight choking
On blackened skies
And when the dark came crashing
I was swallowed whole
And in the moonlight flashing
A diamond in the coal
Cursed are hands that
Touched on your skin
And cursed are the eyes
That have seen where youʼve been
But out of curses
Old sailors were shown
Thereʼs more than one wind to
Carry you home
Lost And Found lyrics - The 88
Left at the altar
Proud to be seen
A serpent in his saviorʼs eyes
But itʼs easy to see
Heʼs got that hole inside
I surrender my throat
My feet donʼt choke and lie
Raised out of shadows
Tempted with flames
And brought up in a senseless night
But itʼs hard to stand up
When you see wrong was right
I owe debts to the dark
It showed my heart the light
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Oh California
Distant and warm
Well wasnʼt I your favorite son
I canʼt help how I feel
But Iʼm not the only one
I expect to be crowned
Beneath this ground Iʼve won
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Proud to be seen
A serpent in his saviorʼs eyes
But itʼs easy to see
Heʼs got that hole inside
I surrender my throat
My feet donʼt choke and lie
Raised out of shadows
Tempted with flames
And brought up in a senseless night
But itʼs hard to stand up
When you see wrong was right
I owe debts to the dark
It showed my heart the light
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Oh California
Distant and warm
Well wasnʼt I your favorite son
I canʼt help how I feel
But Iʼm not the only one
I expect to be crowned
Beneath this ground Iʼve won
So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come
Go To Heaven lyrics - The 88
Went to hell in my Sunday clothes
Fell asleep with a bloody nose
As for where I was going
No one knows
Then you walked up and I could tell
There's no blood and there's no hell
And I felt like singing, "If I fell"
Go to heaven
Where you are
Keep your wishes
In a jar
When you're willing
Hang them on a star
I can't tell if I need you
Well I could tell you that I love you
Yes, I could tell you that I love you
I thank God that I know you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to tell you that I love you
And I always will
I was sleepin' and I was slow
But you told me
So now I know
Turn me on just like a radio
Go to heaven
Leave your skin
Pick a number
Pick and grin
Take a picture
So they know where you've been
Was it a poem or song that said
Isn't it hard to forget
Let's forget
Fell asleep with a bloody nose
As for where I was going
No one knows
Then you walked up and I could tell
There's no blood and there's no hell
And I felt like singing, "If I fell"
Go to heaven
Where you are
Keep your wishes
In a jar
When you're willing
Hang them on a star
I can't tell if I need you
Well I could tell you that I love you
Yes, I could tell you that I love you
I thank God that I know you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to tell you that I love you
And I always will
I was sleepin' and I was slow
But you told me
So now I know
Turn me on just like a radio
Go to heaven
Leave your skin
Pick a number
Pick and grin
Take a picture
So they know where you've been
Was it a poem or song that said
Isn't it hard to forget
Let's forget
Heartsick Town lyrics - The 88
You don’t have to look while the world keeps changin’
You don’t have to look while your bones are agin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
You are young so don’t forget
The things that have not happened yet
Are what you dream of
Aimed and pointed at the sun
You fell in front of everyone
Like a wounded dove
Think of what you love
You don’t have to look but the storm keeps ragin’
You don’t have to look at the wars they’re wagin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
You don’t have to look while your bones are agin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
You are young so don’t forget
The things that have not happened yet
Are what you dream of
Aimed and pointed at the sun
You fell in front of everyone
Like a wounded dove
Think of what you love
You don’t have to look but the storm keeps ragin’
You don’t have to look at the wars they’re wagin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under
Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh
You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town
Bad Love lyrics - The 88
I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause every word upon your tongue is untrue
Gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause there’s no tellin’ what a fool just might do
I’m gonna take you to the river
Throw it overboard
You’ve taken all I’ve given
And I can’t take anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
All along you tied and released me
Awful and unkind
You’re, the soul that I’m not gonna save this time
I’m gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
It’s just a bad love
Cause every word upon your tongue is untrue
Gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause there’s no tellin’ what a fool just might do
I’m gonna take you to the river
Throw it overboard
You’ve taken all I’ve given
And I can’t take anymore
Cause it’s a bad love
All along you tied and released me
Awful and unkind
You’re, the soul that I’m not gonna save this time
I’m gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
It’s just a bad love
This Must Be Love lyrics - The 88
I'm gonna take this heart
I'm tired of leavin' it
Your kind of love has gotta poor boy believin'
When I call your name
Oh, all you do is run
Ah, but then you whisper in my ear
And all those things just disappear
Take these eyes
I do not need 'em
I hear him talking, girl and I don't want to see him
He puts you down
And smells like alcohol
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then how come you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love
I give away my soul
I felt it growing
Look at my lines I'm gonna tell you that it's showing
And all the boys that you don't ever call
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, this must be love
You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousin too
Cause this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And I swore I’d never say it
What do you take me for
But now I'm bored
And I've been dreamin' and I can't take anymore, yeah!
And if you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
Cause this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love
You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousins too
Ah honey this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And this must be love
Yeah, this must be love
This must be love
Ah, this must be love
I'm tired of leavin' it
Your kind of love has gotta poor boy believin'
When I call your name
Oh, all you do is run
Ah, but then you whisper in my ear
And all those things just disappear
Take these eyes
I do not need 'em
I hear him talking, girl and I don't want to see him
He puts you down
And smells like alcohol
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then how come you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love
I give away my soul
I felt it growing
Look at my lines I'm gonna tell you that it's showing
And all the boys that you don't ever call
If you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down
You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, this must be love
You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousin too
Cause this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And I swore I’d never say it
What do you take me for
But now I'm bored
And I've been dreamin' and I can't take anymore, yeah!
And if you're so impressed with what you found

Ah, this must be love
After All lyrics - The 88
The rain keeps pouring down
There’s a ghost in every room
When darkness rolls around
I’ll get light from that spiteful moon
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
Yes you’re far away
And it’s only that I fear
It’s there you want to stay
And you wish I’d just disappear
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
Some say love is violins
Playin’ all the time
Others say love’s just a fool
Who’s crazy, dumb, and blind
With you my love it’s neither
It’s the best of those two combined
So if you are awake
And about to get in bed
Just for my own sake
Could you pick up that phone instead
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I love you after all
You should not leave me all alone
You should not leave me on my own
There’s a ghost in every room
When darkness rolls around
I’ll get light from that spiteful moon
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
Yes you’re far away
And it’s only that I fear
It’s there you want to stay
And you wish I’d just disappear
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
Some say love is violins
Playin’ all the time
Others say love’s just a fool
Who’s crazy, dumb, and blind
With you my love it’s neither
It’s the best of those two combined
So if you are awake
And about to get in bed
Just for my own sake
Could you pick up that phone instead
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I love you after all
You should not leave me all alone
You should not leave me on my own
Love Is The Thing lyrics - The 88
I got up, I got down
I could barely breathe or make a sound
Then a man came to me
He said I think I know exactly what you need
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Well I shook and I moaned
I told him I’d forever be alone
He said son can’t you see
“Here’s the only thing you’ll ever need”
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
You sit there alone by the phone
Just what you tryin’ to prove
Well love is a switch and the itch
That’s gonna bring you to
There’s nothing you can do
I said oh, I’m not well
There must be something more for you to tell
I said wait, please don’t go
He said there’s nothing I can do
But there is something you should know
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
I could barely breathe or make a sound
Then a man came to me
He said I think I know exactly what you need
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Well I shook and I moaned
I told him I’d forever be alone
He said son can’t you see
“Here’s the only thing you’ll ever need”
He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
You sit there alone by the phone
Just what you tryin’ to prove
Well love is a switch and the itch
That’s gonna bring you to
There’s nothing you can do
I said oh, I’m not well
There must be something more for you to tell
I said wait, please don’t go
He said there’s nothing I can do
But there is something you should know
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Carnival Music lyrics - The 88
There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Now the flowers are growing
And there’s songs I can sell
I don’t much have much to say
Each time you go away
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Now the flowers are growing
And there’s songs I can sell
I don’t much have much to say
Each time you go away
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell
Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw
Nigel lyrics - The 88
Early in the morning
Nigel wakes you from a pleasant dream
And he tells you that he’s hungry
And you’d better move
Nigel can’t afford to lift
His head and by the door, he sits
Don’t forget you that you must call him
By his second name
Bojangles
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
Writing on his pillow
He’s the greatest thing
You’ve ever seen
But you better watch him closely
Or he’ll yell at you
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
Nigel wakes you from a pleasant dream
And he tells you that he’s hungry
And you’d better move
Nigel can’t afford to lift
His head and by the door, he sits
Don’t forget you that you must call him
By his second name
Bojangles
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
Writing on his pillow
He’s the greatest thing
You’ve ever seen
But you better watch him closely
Or he’ll yell at you
Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy
One Of These Days lyrics - The 88
First I gave up and ignored me
As for love well that’s another story
I got drunk off wait and sees
Found that I’m really in a war with me
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Anymore
Wait a minute here
Where’s the glory
I was sold by all that went before me
I woke up
And now I can see
Down to the river
Gonna wash me clean
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Livin’ for these days
Oh my God
What did I do
There’s chains on my legs
And there’s shackles on my shoes
I laid my wishes
All up for you
As for love well that’s another story
I got drunk off wait and sees
Found that I’m really in a war with me
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Anymore
Wait a minute here
Where’s the glory
I was sold by all that went before me
I woke up
And now I can see
Down to the river
Gonna wash me clean
Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds
I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Livin’ for these days
Oh my God
What did I do
There’s chains on my legs
And there’s shackles on my shoes
I laid my wishes
All up for you
Yours Tonight lyrics - The 88
If they think that I’m lucky
Well, honey they’re right
They can say what they want to
They can all leave my sight
Cause after all I will be yours tonight
And it’s easy to say it
It’s harder to show
I can take you for granted
But I hope that you know
There’s nothing more
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
And I don’t know where I’m going
I seem far away
And I’m tired of moving
And I sleep through the day
One thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
When I’m thinkin’
Lord I’m sinkin’
This all seems to much
Soon you will be
Sent right to me
And I know that’s enough
Sometimes the devil
Walks up to me
Says I know who you are
And I know what you need
But he’ll find the door
When I am yours tonight
Cause one thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
Well, honey they’re right
They can say what they want to
They can all leave my sight
Cause after all I will be yours tonight
And it’s easy to say it
It’s harder to show
I can take you for granted
But I hope that you know
There’s nothing more
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
And I don’t know where I’m going
I seem far away
And I’m tired of moving
And I sleep through the day
One thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright
When I’m thinkin’
Lord I’m sinkin’
This all seems to much
Soon you will be
Sent right to me
And I know that’s enough
Sometimes the devil
Walks up to me
Says I know who you are
And I know what you need
But he’ll find the door
When I am yours tonight
Cause one thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight
I'll Follow You lyrics - The 88
You got this songbird to sing
You made me feel more than anything
You gave me reason to smile
And all the while
You gave me love
You saved a boy from himself
You gave a hand when he needed help
You tore me off of that wall
And most of all
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
Yes I will follow you
You gave me something to say
You made me wake up for every day
You get me high when I’m low
So now you know
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
You never know what you do
Or what you can get me through
And now I know
There’s nothing I thought I knew
You made me feel more than anything
You gave me reason to smile
And all the while
You gave me love
You saved a boy from himself
You gave a hand when he needed help
You tore me off of that wall
And most of all
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
Yes I will follow you
You gave me something to say
You made me wake up for every day
You get me high when I’m low
So now you know
You gave me love
And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
You never know what you do
Or what you can get me through
And now I know
There’s nothing I thought I knew
Let Me Go lyrics - The 88
There’s a thousand hours
Walking here between us
And a million holes
To dodge here on the floor
And even though the sleeping wolves surround us
There’s you and me
And really nothing more
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
And I got lost
Amidst the smoking candles
And I got lost amidst the phony trees
And I got lost with things
I could not handle
And I was off to make a fool of me
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
For the sound that’s found right here
We’re going down
There’s no one here that cares enough to thrill me
But these suitcase tears will make us feel alive
And the parking lot is dark and always empty
It’ll fill up just as soon as it gets light
Walking here between us
And a million holes
To dodge here on the floor
And even though the sleeping wolves surround us
There’s you and me
And really nothing more
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
And I got lost
Amidst the smoking candles
And I got lost amidst the phony trees
And I got lost with things
I could not handle
And I was off to make a fool of me
And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go
For the sound that’s found right here
We’re going down
There’s no one here that cares enough to thrill me
But these suitcase tears will make us feel alive
And the parking lot is dark and always empty
It’ll fill up just as soon as it gets light
Who Is This lyrics - The 88
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
I don’t care that no one really knows me
Command my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my arms
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
Oh but I was lonely
And oh but I was lonely
And have you been so lonely
You don’t care
About the world outside
Take out my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my legs
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
I don’t care that no one really knows me
Command my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my arms
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
Oh but I was lonely
And oh but I was lonely
And have you been so lonely
You don’t care
About the world outside
Take out my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my legs
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all
Go Go Go lyrics - The 88
Well I was stranded on the ocean
I was drowning there at best
So I came unto your desert
There I tried to bide it
But I got so excited
I can get you what you wanted
I can get you what you need
You don't care if you don't show up
Cause I'm not in need you're such a friend indeed
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
And I got bones inside my body
You've got eyes inside your head
And if you saw the things I'm writing
You would hate my guts
And you probably think I'm nuts
And I will call you when I wanna
I will call you when I can
I don't care if you get lonely
I don't care that you you had me up all night
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Well it was big and white
And on your shoulder
And I could see your throat
And there was no one home
And it was colder
And I could hear you moan
And there was no one here to talk about it
And I was in the mood
And so we go go go go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
I was drowning there at best
So I came unto your desert
There I tried to bide it
But I got so excited
I can get you what you wanted
I can get you what you need
You don't care if you don't show up
Cause I'm not in need you're such a friend indeed
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
And I got bones inside my body
You've got eyes inside your head
And if you saw the things I'm writing
You would hate my guts
And you probably think I'm nuts
And I will call you when I wanna
I will call you when I can
I don't care if you get lonely
I don't care that you you had me up all night
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Well it was big and white
And on your shoulder
And I could see your throat
And there was no one home
And it was colder
And I could hear you moan
And there was no one here to talk about it
And I was in the mood
And so we go go go go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Love You Anytime lyrics - The 88
Heavy is the heart
That reaches out in vain
And tears itself apart
And runs back for the same.
And many are the songs
That only go unheard.
But when our body's gone
We both will sing along
And we'll know every word.
And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all
The chances we took.
Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.
You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
Cause there's no other place
That I would rather be
Cause when I look at you
You look right back at me.
So please don't be upset
And please don't be alarmed
We'll take it to the west
The place that I love best
And it'll be in your arms.
And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all
The chances we took.
And won't it be great
Yes, won't it be good
I will thank God
That wasn't so hard.
Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.
You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
You can hate yourself
You can run and hide
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
Yeah, the earth can shake
And the rain can fall
But I won't be scared cause I...
Love, there's nothing you could
Ever do to get me to say goodbye.
Ahhhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.
You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.
You can tell your friends
That I'm just a mess
You can stomp your feet
You can beat your chest.
You can hate yourself
You can run and hide
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime [x5]
That reaches out in vain
And tears itself apart
And runs back for the same.
And many are the songs
That only go unheard.
But when our body's gone
We both will sing along
And we'll know every word.
And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all

Coming Home lyrics - The 88
Won't you be good to yourself
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me
La la la la la la la...
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me
La la la la la la la...
