True Confessions lyrics

When the day is over
And the work is done
Well it's a different story
As the darkness comes around
I tried to let you know
You're going the wrong way

And the streets you thought
Would all be paved with gold
But when the wind cuts through
You'd even try to sell your soul
Everywhere you go
It's the long way

Now you're no longer
Just the boy next door

When she walks down Main street
No-one ever passes her by
The cars slow down men turn around
While the other girls are left wondering why

Now give me one good reason
Why they just don't leave her alone
She won't stop or let you take a photograph
But they say 'She's in a class of her own'

(chorus)
I said 'Hey kid, come on down'
They might turn your head around

Scarlett lips, a silk embrace
But there's no laughter in her face
A crowded room is a lonely place full of lies

A wicked smile a shifting glance
The passion light you feel at last
Her pleasure somehow eased the pain
Too late to chance it all again

(bridge)
Before we kiss the world goodbye
It's only a breath away
One more dance before you die
So tender as the music plays

Non disturbaded
Do not
Disturb

We took the late flight
Close to heaven in the cold half light
All the pleasures of that very first night
Crystal clear in my mind
No complications
Just another reservation
In a beach hotel
We found a room with a view
Lock the door and change the sign

(chorus)
Do not disturb
Do Do Do not disturb
Just you and me together

Hooked on love

I saw a twelve year old, he had a plastic bag
Another young man sucking on butane gas
I saw them reaching for a hand to hold
The next minute they were both stone cold

(chorus 1)
Don't abuse your body
Better use your brain
This generation's going insane
Better hooked on love
(Hooked on love)
That's a better drug
(Hooked on love)

(chorus 1)

Love is easy
No complications
In a perfect world

Ooh, la la la la la la ah (x 3)

His day is over
It's just another night
The same old faces
Always pass him by
His heart is willing
But the world's so cold
Oh how he longs for
Someone real to hold

She takes the bus home
To her usual place
All kinds of people
But they leave no trace
She knows by now

Last night I was dreaming I was locked in a prison cell

When I woke up I was screaming calling out your name.
And the judge and the jury they all put the blame on me

They wouldn't go for my story
they wouldn't hear my plea.

Only you can set me free

'Cause I'm guilty - guilty - guilty as a girl can be.
Come on
baby
can't you see

I stand accused of love in the first degree.

Lock me up in a room somewhere
Get me out of the open air
No perception of space or time
And no peace of mind

Shut me out of the wind and rain
Shelter me from the hurt and pain
No temptation to lead me on
Now that you're gone

(chorus)
Won't you come to the rescue
Take me to the promised land
You've got the power to show me
Love is at hand

Remember that August night
The last time I saw your face
I heard you cry
Terrified
When they took you to another place

But now I can see you smile
There's a wall that divides us
Never forgive
The right to live
And all the love that they deny us

(chorus)
Ready or not I'm coming
And I'm gonna find you baby
So you better start running
Ready or not I'm coming

If you want love, come and get it
Well that's alright with me
And if you think that's tough, forget it
'Cos there's no guarantee (No guarantee)

Well your dreams won't last forever
And that's how it should be
I'm only living for your pleasure
Your real life fantasy (Real life fantasy)

True Confessions
True confessions can reveal
True confessions, True confessions

Goddess on a mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
Summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

(chorus)
She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus
I'm your fire
At your desire

Her weapons were her crystal eyes
Making every man mad
Black as the dark night she was
Got what no-one else had
Wow !
