Age of Desperation

Where is the turning point?
The age of desperation?
When our opinions become more convincing than before
When we know what is right!
(because we cannot see alternative)
And we know we shall lose all
if we doubt ourselves.

What is objectivity? Keeping true perspective?
We know things change when seen from different angles.
Still, we play the game, knowing it takes time;
today's Truth is qualified by tomorrow's contradictions.

Ooooooo, wahhhhhhhh,
Maybe he's wrong,
but he knows what he means!

Still, we believe in ourselves, as we did yesterday
All men it seems have egos huge enough
  in which to hide themselves
so we leave room for forgiveness

Oooooooo, wahhhhhh
All right, he's wrong,
but he means what he says!

This vision of perfection,
The illusion of a purpose,
is just a turning point:
The age of desperation.

All Alone

I don't like the world sometimes
And sometimes the world don't like me
I guess it's only fair
But it's neither here nor there
when you're

all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone

I got no time for self pity
I'm not about to cry
Though no one seems to care
It's neither here nor there
when you're

all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone
all alone

all alo ho ho hone...

He's happy-go-lucky, even devil-may-care
Drivin' a sportscar with the wind in his hair
yeah yeah
But it don't mean a thing
oh no

She's pretty as can be in a low-cut dress
She's all 'come and get me' with such finesse
yeah yeah
But it don't mean a thing
oh no

Say it's all in the name of love
Say it's all written in the stars up above
But oh my, it don't seem a lie
to say that it don't mean a thing
To say that it don't mean a thing don't mean to say it's that
which we don't understand or know exactly where it's at
What's in a name
When it's all in the name of love?

He takes her to dinner, he orders a wine
He says he can show her a really good time
yeah yeah
But it don't mean a thing
oh no

She looks like a film star but she knows damn well
It's just a commercial with something to sell
yeah yeah
And it don't mean a thing
oh no

Say it's all in the name of love
Say it's all written in the stars up above
But oh my, it don't seem a lie
to say that it don't mean a thing
To say that it don't mean a thing don't mean to say it's that
Which we don't understand or know exactly where it's at
It's all in the name of love
All in the name in the name of love (love)
All in the name in the name of love (love)
All in the name in the name of love (love)
In the name in the name of love
In the name in the name of love

Also All So Confusing

Who are we?
Why are we here?
Where are we going?
Are we going anywhere at all?
Who knows the answer?
Maybe the answer is, "Life is too short to be small."

Life is good, life is bad
Life is happy, life is sad
But it's also all so confusing

Life is fast, life is slow
Life is high, and life is low
And it's also all so confusing

Some say that "Money can't buy happiness."
I say, "Where does the money go?"
Some say that "Life is full of little ups and downs."
I say, "It only goes to show."

Life is sweet, life is crude
Life is waste and life is food
And it's also all so confusing

Live is give, life is take
Life is real, and life is fake
And it's also all so confusing
All so all so all so confusing
All so all so all so confusing

Angelina

I don't want to do you no harm
But sometimes I feel the weight of the world
And it's so heavy and it's bringing me down
And I need you Angelina my girl
Come little Angelina
I don't wanna do you no harm
Take me where the grass is greener
Take me where the sea is calm
All I want is you
Take me in your arms and give me love

Oooo shoo shoo baum
oooo shoo shoo baum
oooo shoo shoo baum
oooo shoo shoo baum
All I want is you
Take me in your arms and give me love

Angelina, Angelina
Love me, love me
Angelina, Angelina,
Love me, I want to love you

Come little Angelina
No one but you and me
Take me where the air is cleaner
Take me where the wind blows free
All I want is you
Take me in your arms and give me love

Oooo shoo shoo baum

All I want is you
Take me in your arms and give me love

At times like these
When enemies can number more than friends
A friend indeed is what I need
Not someone who pretends
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day

You're such a pain
Must I explain my every meaning to you?
It's such a drag the way you nag at me
And make me feel blue
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day

You're so pusillanimous, oh, yeah
Nature's calling, and I must go there

A glass of wine with Gertrude Stein
I know I'll never share
But I don't mind
That's just the kind of cross each man must bear
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day

You're so pusillanimous, oh yeah
Nature's calling, and I must go there

Another day
I know they say that all the world's a stage
I'll play the fool, but as a rule
I'd rather act my age
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day
I'm on my way
I cannot stay
Another day

Another Lonely Man

When I come home at night
A little worse for drink
I see my empty room
and razor by the sink
But it's no use to me
It runs on batteries
And I got to get some new ones
I think

Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man

I still remember the things we used to do
Mixing cocktails and sharing our shampoo
And that night you lost your key
You blamed it all on me
Because we were both dressed up as
kangaroos
Oh I don't want to fall in love again
I know my heart could never stand the pain
Meanwhile I'll try to get by if I can
From now on I'll be another lonely man
From now on I'll be another lonely man

Away With Words

Hey now, say now, let's get away now
Away with words!
Words like we say each and every day
Away with words!

What's in a name?
Whaddaya say?
So many words at the end of the day!

I talk, you talk, they talk, we all talk
Away with words!
Away with words!
Away-ay-ay!
