BORN IN A TRUNK (Spice)
You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you
You better move off the rails
People begin to look subways
You better move off the rails
You won't even listen to my way
I'm livin' in shame
People say I don't matter
I'm livin' in shame
You were born in a trunk
Everyone talkin' about you
You were born in a trunk
Where would they be without you
You better move off the rails
People begin to look subways
You better move off the rails
You won't even listen to my way
SIMON THE BULLET FREAK
Freed of empty faces
Give me your money
Make my life sunny for a day
Road that leads to nowhere
Please stop your crying
I ain't fit for dying this way
Go steal another with your eye
Go try some other heartless lie
Land of hopeless speaking
Bringing back the moon
Don't play your silly games with me
Oh, war of wasted daydream
What is your need
I'm gonna bleed until you kill me
You've lost all sight of your direction
You're only looking for the next one
The next one to kill
Ashes of destruction
Spread out so far
Blackened others crying over me
See a one time city
Now just a scar
Tears of the flower man
Fill the sea
Give me a chance to fly away
There's nothing here for me today
Today
Simon the bullet freak ...
HERE AM I
I sit in my sunny chair
With my head held low
I know the reason I’m dreaming
It’s really been fun
But where is there left to go
Save to give my life a new meaning
And if by chance you’d come my way
I’ll have to say:
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
How was I to know
Your heart was unsatisfied
When you never troubled to tell me
No wish that you made to me
Ever was denied
I played it just the way
That it should be
But then you turned and walked away
I have to say:
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
I imagine I must sit here
Till the winter comes
And just watch the days
Growing shorter
To gather in dust won’t go
Till my thinking’s done
And I walk from this troubled water
By then my need won’t be so bad
And I’ll gladly say
Here am I, give me love
Here am I, give me love
MAGIC LANTERN (Spice)
When you look inside
My magic lantern
All the world is yet unseen
Try to gaze into
The yellow glowing
To get a reflection of me
In a land of make believe and magic
You can be just anything you feel
You think that what you’re in is a dream
But know that the lantern is viewing
View the magic lantern
Take a trip around the world
View the magic lantern
There’s a thousand mysteries unfurled
And I know one of them
I remember your face
Can’t remember the place
Here on our own
Living alone
You can dream that you’re
A man of power
Ready to be happy with your gold
Without love your mind is going sour
Money’s no good when you’re old
View the magic lantern
You can have the sky above
Yeah, the magic lantern
You’ll buy everything but love
Everything but love
WHY
Thought of no tomorrow
The pain, tears and sorrow
And you never told me why
The way you cheated
And mistreated
You could never tell me why
But I’m gonna find out
I’m gonna find out
What’s been messing up your mind
Messing up your mind
Is there any true reason
Or anything I can explain
Can’t we talk about it baby
Get together again
You see, I have the feeling
That this isn’t the end
And I feel it knowing
On you I depend
I’m gonna find out
Yeah, I’m gonna find out
What has been
Messing up your mind
Perhaps it’s best for us
To stay together
And try to live our lives as one
And maybe we will find
We’re still together
To watch the setting of the sun
ASTRANAZA (Spice)
Hey girl, you’re the one
That got me started
And I bet you’ll be
The one to get us parted
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Now everybody’s had their fun
How I’m wishing
We could live together
Ooh, but the answer
In your eyes is never
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody’s had their fun
Well, you and me
And we know what we’re saying
To the rest of them
It’s a game we’re playing
In the beginning, in the beginning
We were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody else will come
How I’m wishing
We could live together
Ooh, but the answer in your eyes
Is never, never
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Or the mother of my son
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody had their fun
How I’m wishing
We could live together
But the answer in your eyes is never
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody had their fun
You and me
And we know what we’re saying
To the rest of them
It’s a game we’re playing
In the beginning, in the beginning
We were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Or the mother of my son
In the beginning, in the beginning
You were the only one
In the beginning, in the beginning
Everybody had their fun
Like Astranaza
Astranaza ...
WHAT'S WITHIN MY HEART
Will I never see again
The smiling faces of my friends
Could it be they’ve gone completely
And though thoughts will linger
Sweetly in my heart
May I hear once more
The bird calls my name
May I be permitted just one friend
To share my game
The one who doesn’t give a damn
For what I seem to be
And really cares for what I am
And what’s within my heart
I believe the sun will shine
And I know that given time
The leaves will blow tumble
And cry upon the autumn stone below
And my heart grows tired each day
As the sun grow cold
Weary uninspired each day
Til the story is told
You gave your love to one
Who only wants what you seem to be
And doesn’t really care for you
Or what’s within your heart
On my grave lay one black rose
Do this for me but don’t suppose
Because I’m gone, my soul is dead
For I’ll be here in spirit
And our love once more
There must be a heart somewhere
In need of the love I have
That will reach out in sincerety
And take my life in hand
Then I’ll know it’s not someone
Who wants just what I seem to be
The one who cares for what I am
And what’s within my heart
What’s within my heart ...
I WANT YOU BABE (Spice)
Oh, I want you babe
I want you all to myself
And now and then I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
Oh, you know I needed you woman
I needed you, I needed you
Every day and night, right
Now and then I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
Well, you know what
The secret's I guess
And you think you know
Who your lover’s wife is
So you better stop
That thing you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
But I, I want you babe
When I was a young man
Always trying to say hello babe
But you’d never know
You live in want
Never knowing that I existed
Till my mind was twisted
I was always trying, sometimes crying
Oh, I needed you
Needed you, needed you
Oh, I needed you
Needed you, needed you
Oh, I needed you
Needed you, needed you
Stop that thing that you’re doing
Baby, you‘re driving me, driving me
Driving me to my ruins
Oh, I want you babe
I needed you, I needed you
Every single day of my entire life
And everytime I tried
Someone else would come along
There it went again
But now and then I’m gonna hold you
Tell you that I’m gonna love you
Come with me and I will show you
In a while I’ll get to know you
You and me we’re gonna make it
Come with me, we mustn’t break it
CELEBRATE (Spice)

Dance to the music
Celebrate, celebrate
Dance to the music
Celebrate, celebrate

Slippin’ away, sittin’ on a pillow
Waitin’ for night to fall
Girl in a dream, sittin’ on a pillow

Didn’t find time to call
Ready or not

So why be lonely
Celebrate, celebrate
Dance to the music

Sittin’ alone, sittin’ on a pillow
Waitin’ to climb the wall

And you’ll be alone
So why be lonely

Celebrate, celebrate ...
SCHOOLGIRL (Spice)
Everyone said that you’d always
Been left but you got there
Here we are now when
The rest of the show are not there
Nobody knows by the look of
Your clothes you’re a schoolgirl
Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl
You said on my lap that
I wasn’t the right kind of person
What I wanna know is that
Who in the show I am worse than
Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl
Nobody knows by the look of
Your clothes you’re a schoolgirl
Oh, schoolgirl
Looking for something
That you can’t have
Looking for something
That you can’t have
You said on my lap that
I wasn’t the right kind of person
What I wanna know is that
Who in the show I am worse than
But who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl
And nobody knows by the look of
Your clothes you’re a schoolgirl
Oh, schoolgirl
Looking for something
That you can’t have
Looking for something
That you can’t have
Listen!
Everyone said that you’d always
Been left but you got there
Here we are now when
The rest of the show are not there
Nobody knows by the look of
Your clothes you’re a schoolgirl
Who would’ve guessed
By the way that you’re dressed
You’re a schoolgirl
Oh, schoolgirl
