People's Parties
all the people at this party
they've got a lot of style
they've got stamps of many countries
they've got passport smiles
some are friendly
some are cutting
some are watching it from the wings
some are standing in the centre
giving to get something
photo beauty gets attention
then her eye paint's running down
she's got a rose in her teeth
and a lampshade crown
one minute she's so happy
then she's crying on someone's knee
saying laughing and crying
you know it's the same release
i told you when i met you
i was crazy
cry for us all beauty
cry for eddie in the corner
thinking he's nobody
and jack behind his joker
and stone-cold grace behind her fan
and me in my frightened silence
thinking i don't understand
i feel like i'm sleeping
can you wake me
you seem to have a broader sensibility
i'm just living on nerves and feelings
with a weak and a lazy mind
and coming to peoples parties
fumbling deaf dumb and blind
i wish i had more sense of humor
keeping the sadness at bay
throwing the lightness on these things
laughing it all away
laughing it all away
laughing it all away
We recommend: Rock'n Roll Is (Alive And Well)
led step by step into desire
choose to be understanding
say you don't care when i know you do
i can sleep at night, but each time i try
you know i dream of you
it's murder murder murder
no time for cheap excuses like
"he can't help it" "she can't help it"
jump out of the bed & straight into the fire
how are you meant to stand it
stuck in a world that's seen much better days
you can reach for love
scream till you're red, white and blue in the face
it's murder, murder
look but
