Stop! lyrics - The Clarks

Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed that night

In a big block dodge
It was two lanes wide
We wrestled with the heat and let the radio drive
There was something in the air
More deadly than fire
I picked up the key, the hotel clerk knew I lied

He said, stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down
Stop, take a look around
Everybody see what's going down

It was a night I will forget
And I don't remember why
All she was wearin' was something I'd seen
From a late night show on cable TV
Where'd the ring go, that he got you
Would he know the way you felt
It's just one fling, before the bells ring
Don't hit below the belt

Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be running from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon

It is a night you may regret
Just don't ask me why
Bless me father for I have sinned
Can you get me out of this mess I'm in

Sometimes I think of you
It happens oh so fast
If I closed my eyes, it would all go by
The strangest freaky thing that ever passed bye bye
Where's the time go, where's the love go
When you live out a fantasy
The sun will shine, you can brush it off
And say it never happened to me

Ahh, take a look around
Cause the truth that you might be runnin' from
Is bigger than a river called the Amazon.
It's big as an explosion called the atom bomb

Courtney lyrics - The Clarks

Everyone's gonna look at me, confounded by my decency
I've got no tales of personal tragedy
Everyone's gonna know my name, they'll talk about my new found fame
Alluding to my functional family

She said she liked a simple melody
She brought me onstage for a bow
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

Now my friends they all want to know, is this for real or is it just a show
They're taking bets on when I'm history
All her friends are gonna tell her things, shared apartments, diamond rings
And how that car phone's an absolute necessity

She said she liked the way I kissed her cheek
She brought me upstairs, grabbed a towel
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

Courtney's fond of telling me, I'm everything she used to be
Bridget Fonda's telling her, let's go for steaks baby, you could wear your fur

Then I'll ask to have her hand, and hold it as she quits the band
She whispers playfully you can open up for me
Buy a house, maybe hit the road, share a joint, maybe share the load
And laugh about our plans they're history

She said she liked the way I licked her feet
She brought me upstairs, showed me how
I stood there laughing all I said was wow
Courtney loves me now

Mercury lyrics - The Clarks

Leave for the country let the day begin
I carry my share of original sin
I'm writing you a letter from a telephone
Sign it messenger man in the great unknown

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

Swim up the river to the cedar trees
Follow the sun and catch a nice cool breeze
Bicycle trail only runs so far
This is a place you can't get by car

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

Walk through the woods on a moonlit night
I carry a compass and a small flashlight
Deliver my message in a mason jar
Planting my seeds they're growing star to star

And I wanna be like Mercury
With the wind blowin' through my hair

Rain lyrics - The Clarks

Well we've all been through it, thinking times are tough
And I'll see you through it, when you've had enough
And I'll be beside you, many feelings the same
Give back the ruin, give back the rain

Well we've both felt lovely, things are going our way
May you rise above me, may you have your day
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain

And you know it's the only bridge I know that's still above water
I'm praying my insurance is gonna pay
And you know it's the only road I know that's still above water
I'm praying my family is gonna stay

Well we've both been better, or worse I suppose
And I got your letter, and I washed your clothes
And I'll be right with you, every step of the way
Give back the ruin, give back the rain
And I'll be proud of you, when I call out your name
Give back the ruin, give back the rain

Never Let You Down lyrics - The Clarks

I'm you, you're me
You can't run from a lack of mystery
Please just go away

I'm right, you're wrong
You can't hide in a place you don't belong
Please just go away

And I'll never let you
Never let you down

I'm through, you're free
It's head first in the lap of luxury
Please just go away

Alright, you're dead wrong
You can't run, you can't drag me along
Please just go away

And I'll never let you
Never let you down

Fine you're gone away, tell me one more day
I know you're gonna stay, you ask if there's a way

I'm you, you're me
You can't run, you can't stay pissed at me
Please don't go away

And I'll never let you
Never let you down

Fatal lyrics - The Clarks

It's a funny kind of feeling, it's got me to the core
She's dripping from the ceiling, I'm lying naked on the floor
She's soaking in my skin now, just like the summer's ray
She's swimming in the gene pool and I'm in her DNA
(Tell me that you want me, tell me that you care)
Nothing else much matters
(Tell me all your secrets, tell me all your fears)
As if it even should
(There's something I gotta tell you, something you should know)
No one else is watching
We'll be fatal to feel this good

They're sampling my blood for anything that they can find
And our friends in conversation say I never was the kind
(Tell me that you love me, tell me that you care)
Nothing else much matters
(Tell me that you notice the flowers in my hair)
As if it even should
(There's something I gotta tell you, something you should know)
No one else is watching
We'll be fatal to feel this good

Honey this is something I've never said before, they're words you won't
soon forget
Honey this is something I've never done before, so fragile lest we forget,
we forget

It's a funny kind of feeling, I'm up against the wall
She's looking up to heaven and I'm heading for a fall

The Box lyrics - The Clarks

In a box, by the door
I keep a letter you sent before
It says keep, your head up high
I'll think about you while you drive
And when you get up on that stage you will arrive

A collect phone call, the lobby's bare
It's a call to know I care
It's a postcard in the mail
To let you know I haven't failed
And if I miss one day it's been a long, long trail

Welcome to my world
I'm coming home.
And in this hotel lobby
You leave me alone

Will you be there when I return
It's been a question of some concern
And who's to say, what's less or more
Oh, I'll be waiting at your door
And when I see you, I'll know what I've waited for

It's the way we see the world
There's other ways we can't afford
From town to town, we're sometimes late
You hurry up and then you wait
And when it rains you just can't stand out at the gate

One Day In My Life lyrics - The Clarks

I met a girl that I dreamed about for years
Dreamed I'd have no fears, a place to stay
Believe me when I say she had some plans for me
But all the plans she had for me will never be

One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life

She had some things for sure that she would want of me
And all the things she wants of me can never be
And as for me I never ask more than I need
But one day, I will ask to be free

One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you
One day in my life

She reminds me of the things I couldn't be
Or if I could, it just would not be me
Don't get me wrong it's part of life, it's just a game
They call it Kooties maybe Twister, roll away
Please, please where did he go? Why did he leave?

She said sometimes I'm just a little hard to please
If you see me on the corner I am free
One foot on the bus and off the trampoline

One day in my life
One day in my life
One day I won't be coming home to you

One day in my life
One day in my life

No Place Called Home lyrics - The Clarks

Momma ran off with a man from town
Daddy came home, found the note, got drunk and fell down
Jessie was crying, no tears would be saved
I couldn't take it so I started pining straight for the grave
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far

I met a man in a suit, he said he'd give me a job
I wouldn't have to pay taxes and I wouldn't have to rob
Man it was easy, all I had to do was drive
I didn't care what was in the suitcase, it felt good to be alive
I should've told you that night that we slept in the car
I would've told but I never saw us getting this far

I know I've been hard on you baby
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There's no place called home

Something was funny, the whole deal kind of strange
I could hear Momma saying son you're Daddy ain't never gonna change
I was down in an instant, just a big flash of light
Undercover lie bleeding, I guess I put up a fight
I should've told you that night we made love on the bar
I would've told you but I never saw us getting this far

I know I've been hard on you baby
Momma should've known that you can't grow up alone
And we will be together someday maybe
There's no place called home

Everything Has Changed lyrics - The Clarks

I thought we'd always be together
We'd sit around and drink black coffee
Talkin' 'bout the people we had been

We traveled through the childhood memories
You showed me scars from the bars of monkey
Smiling as your eyes reflected me

Now everything has changed
Your street, your hair, your name

My world is rearranged
'Cause everything has, everything has changed

I woke up on a winter Wednesday
I read the note that you had left me
You found another friend to help you through

For years I tried to put you under
The memories made me run for cover
I'd see your face in everything I'd do

Well I was wrong
You never felt the same

And now you've gone
Away... away

The days of wine and roses tasted
I think of all the time I've wasted
Wanderin' through a past that could have been

I know that nothing lasts forever
Best times are the ones remembered
Thankful for the days that I have seen

Everything has changed.

These Wishes lyrics - The Clarks

After 3 years ya know I'd die for you
But I wouldn't cross the street to shake your hand
If it turns out that I get nine lives
I'd swear in 3 years you took 10

Our kisses don't seem that right anymore
It seems we're living outta fear
And out love is like a foggy vacation
And I'm wishing you were clear

Well I'm wishing on my dear
That these devils were not here
If you would listen you could here
I'm still waiting on my dear
For your love...your love
Your love...your love

Well I fed the cats and
I put out the trash
To the big can in the back
And the apartment we shared next to the neighbor
Who cared a little too much for us

Well ya worked out the paper
While I sat home in bed
Wishing all the wishes I could wish

Seems like we love everything we could not have
And we hate everything that we need

Well I'm wishing on my dear
That these devils were not here
If you would listen you could here
I'm still waiting on my dear
For your love...your love
Your love...your love

[guitar break]

After 3 years ya know I'd die for you
But I wouldn't cross the street to shake your hand
If it turns out that I get nine lives
I'd swear in 3 years you took 10

Our kisses don't seem that right anymore
It seems we're living outta fear
And out love is like a foggy vacation
And I'm wishing you were clear

Well I'm wishing on my dear
That these devils were not here
If you would listen you could here
I'm still waiting on my dear
For your love...your love
Your love...your love

Last Call lyrics - The Clarks

It's a late night in this town
It's time to move on
And our time, it came and went
Find your coat, find your keys
Find the man of your dreams
And how much money he spent

So set down your drink
You've had more than you should
Your last chance has just come and gone
Well she's gone for the door
And she looks all alone
Let me know what she looks like at dawn

Last call, again
Last call, do you know where you're going
Last call, again

There are lovers and fighters
at 2:00 AM
A big girl named Carol,
Well she just left with Jim
And it's hard sometimes
To make up your mind
They're out in the lot
And she's going down on him

So roll your leg over
Take the bow not the stern
And pray before you begin
'Cause this date's not your mate
And it's not where you're going
But more like where they've been

Slip a beer in your coat
Keep your arms to your side
'Cause going home,
That's a pretty good drive
Keep it under the dash
And watch who you pass
For your first DWI

Hollywood lyrics - The Clarks

[Bonus Track]

I'm living in the hills
My accountant pay my bills
I got a Mercedes-Benz
I hope this life never ends

And something's always happening when I show up
Man he drops a line about some bump uptown
For a disco diamond dog he met at the pound
The way she stood, I knew he would
His money is good
In Hollywood

I'm living with my man
No marriage in the plan
But like Mercedes Ruehl
He's gonna find I'm a jewel

And my boyfriend says he wants to break up
So I brought my pills and my makeup ground
Just in case I stay over or sleep on the town
The way she stood, I knew he would
The head is good
In Hollywood

And every goddamn things serves to remind me
That I'm alive but someday they're gonna find me
On the ground

I'm living on the street
I've got blisters on my feet
Could you spare some change for some food?
You ain't got to be so rude

And I've got no family to speak of
But I've got some cardboard and a tea cup
Found it in the garbage
You kick me, tell me to move up and down
The avenue, but I like the view
The sun is so good
In Hollywood

Spare a minute and listen to my story
There's fame, fortune and of course there is sex and glory
Bound for the big time houses, the rich side of town
The way he stood, I knew he would
The sun is so good
In Hollywood

Lost And Found lyrics - The Clarks

[Bonus Track]

I didn't think you had it in you to up and move away
All the dreams we shared baby well I hope you like LA

I was writing in my book of regrets how it seems like yesterday
It's kind of funny how that so many things rhyme with gone away

I saw the sun when I hit the ground
Took a look in the lost and found
Lost my friends but I found myself okay

It wouldn't do us any good for me to try to make you stay
It's kind of funny how that so many things time has washed away

I saw the sun when I hit the ground
Took a look in the lost and found
Lost my friends but I found myself okay
