Going to your funeral and I'm feeling like a fool
No one's gonna take the blame
Thinking 'bout the days of hangin' out behind the school
Everything goes away


I will show you fear in a handful of dust

Threw my bad fortune off the top of a tall building
But I'd rather have done it with you
Your boy's smile, 5 in the morning, looked into your eyes and I was really in love
In Chinatown hungover you showed me just what I could do
Talking about time travel and the meaning and just what it was worth

And I feel like some bird of paradise
My bad fortune slipping away
And I feel the innocence of a child
Everybody's got something good to say

Things I once thought unbelievable in my life have all taken place
When we walked through Little Italy I saw my reflection come right off your face
I paint pictures to remember
You're too beautiful to put into words
Like a gypsy you dance in circles all around me and all over the world

So I take my good fortune and I fantasize of our leaving like some modern-day gypsy landslide,
Like some modern-day Bonnie and Clyde on the run again



Swimming in the heavy water, buried in the sand
Happy hearts fall from my shaking hands

I have seen you shake
And I know what it cost you
I have heard your words
And I am big on your noise
My eyes aren't big enough
Because I can't see your hands
I can't see what you hold
I am growing now
As I watch you fade
Now I know what you know
And I'll break the chains that you have made, these chains you've made for me
I will pull you down
I know I'll fail in style
I long to touch your genius hands


When we walked through Little Italy I saw my reflection come right off your face
I paint pictures to remember, you're too beautiful to put into words

I envy the wind
That whispers in your ear
That howls through the winter
That freezes your fingers
That moves through your hair
And cracks your lips
And chills you to the bone
I envy the wind

I envy the rain
That falls on your face
That wets your eyelashes
And dampens your skin
And touches your tongue
And soaks through your shirt
And drips down your back
I envy the rain

I envy the sun
That brightens your summer
That warms your body
And holds you in her heat
And makes your days longer
And makes you hot
And makes you sweat
I envy the sun

I envy the wind, I envy the rain, I envy the sun, I envy the wind


I got some heaven in my head

Well I hope that I don’t fall in love with you
’cause falling in love just makes me blue,
Well the music plays and you display
Your heart for me to see,
I had a beer and now I hear you
Calling out for me
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

Well the room is crowded, people everywhere
And I wonder, should I offer you a chair?
Well if you sit down with this old clown,
Take that frown and break it,
Before the evening’s gone away,
I think that we could make it,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

Well the night does funny things inside a man
These old tom-cat feelings you don’t understand,
Well I turn around to look at you,
You light a cigarette,
I wish I had the guts to bum one,
But we’ve never met,
And I hope that I don’t fall in love with you.

I can see that you are lonesome just like me,
And it being late, you’d like some some company,
Well I turn around to look at you,
And you look back at me,
The guy you’re with has up and split,
The chair next to you’s free,
And I hope that you don’t fall in love with me.

Now it’s closing time, the music’s fading out
Last call for drinks, I’ll have another stout.
Well I turn around to look at you,
You’re nowhere to be found,
I search the place for your lost face,
Guess I’ll have another round
And I think that I just fell in love with you

Un soir que j'étais dans le Bronx
J'étais on ne peut plus anx
leux de retrouver Samantha
Entre Thelonius Monk
Quelques punks aussi Brons
Ki beat giclant de mon Aiwa

You're under arrest
Cause you are the best

J'ai dit et je redis donc s'
Ur le trop tard du Bronx
Je recherchais Samantha
S'pointent deux gorilles du Bronx
Il est évident donc c'
Etait mal barré pour moi

You're under arrest
Cause you are the best

C'était deux police blacks
Qui pratiquaient le slang
Ainsi que le colt cobra
Ils m'plaquent au mur du Bronx
Et je défie quiconque
De ne pas avoir les foies

You're under arrest
Cause you are the best

You're under arrest
Cause you are the best

L'un des ces yankees monk
Ey me dit "give us your money"
Qu'est-ce que t'aurais fait toi
Ils m'relachent ainsi donc
J'enfonce dans le Bronx
Retrouver Samantha
You're under arrest
Cause you are the best
You're under arrest
Cause you are the best

I came along when he broke your heart
That's when you needed someone to help forget about him,
I gave you love with a brand new start
That's what you needed the most to set your broken heart free,

I know you cried, and you felt blue,
But when I could I gave strength to you

I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

I kissed your lips when your face looked sad,
It made me think about him and that you still loved him so
But you know that pretty soon
I made you feel glad that you belonged to me
And love began to show

He hurt you then, but that's all done,
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

He hurt you then, but that's all done,
I guess I'm saying you're the only one
I'm waiting for the day when you can love again

You didn't think that I could sit around and watch him work
You didn't think that I could sit around and let watch him take you
You didn't think that I could sit around and let him go.
You didn't think that I could sit back and let you go

If I could hold on
to just one thought
For long enough to know
Why my mind is moving so fast
And the conversation is slow.
Burn off all the fog
And let the sun
through to the snow
Let me see your face again
Before I have to go.

I have seen you in the movies
And in those magazines at night
I saw you on the barstool when
You held that glass so tight.
And I saw you in my nightmares
But I'll see you in my dreams
And I might live a thousand years
Before I know what that means.

Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths
His life was filled with parasites
And countless idle threats.
He trusted in a woman
And on her he made his bets
Once there was a friend of mine
Who died a thousand deaths.


I got some heaven in my head

Seeing as these 'Secrets' website have reaffirmed my faith in marriage, here are soem of Jack's lyrics that sum it up for so many.



Find yourself a girl and settle down
Live a simple life in a quiet town

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

So steady as she goes

Your friends have shown a kink in the single life
You've had too much to think, now you need a wife

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Well here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell

So steady as she goes

When you have completed what you thought you had to do
And your blood's depleted to the point of stable glue

Then you'll get along
Then you'll get along

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Well here we go again
You've found yourself a friend that knows you well
But no matter what you do
You'll always feel as though you tripped and fell

So steady as she goes
Steady as she goes

Settle for a girl (settle for a girl), neither up or down (neither up or down)
Sell it to the crowd (sell it to the crowd) that is gathered round (that is gathered round)

Settle for a girl (settle for a girl), neither up or down (neither up or down)
Sell it to the crowd (sell it to the crowd) that is gathered round (that is gathered round)

So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Steady as she goes (steady as she goes)
So steady as she goes (steady as she goes)

Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?

Steady as she goes, are you steady now?
Steady as she goes, are you steady now?

Steady as she goes




I'd walk her everyday, into a shady place
