Meat Loaf - Martha

Tekst :

Operator, number, please: it s been so many years
Will she remember my old voice while I fight the tears?
Hello, hello there, is this Martha? this is old Tom Frost,
And I am calling long distance, don t worry bout the cost.
Cause it s been forty years or more, now Martha please recall,
Meet me out for coffee, where we ll talk about it all.

And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrows, we d packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day.

And I feel so much older now, and you re much older too,
How s your husband? and how s the kids? you know that I got married too?
Luck that you found someone to make you feel secure,
Cause we were all so young and foolish, now we are mature.

And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrows, we d packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day.

And I was always so impulsive, I guess that I still am,
And all that really mattered then was that I was a man.
I guess that our being together was never meant to be.
And Martha, Martha, I love you can t you see?

And those were the days of roses, poetry and prose
And Martha all I had was you and all you had was me.
There was no tomorrows, we d packed away our sorrows
And we saved them for a rainy day.

And I remember quiet evenings trembling close to you...

Meat Loaf - Dead ringer for love

Tekst :

Every night I grab some money and I go down to the bar
I got my buddies and a beer, I got a dream, I need a car
You got me begging on my knees, c mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn t live by rock n roll and brew alone
Baby baby, baby baby
Chorus: [
Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew
They don t mean a thing when I compare em next to you
Rock n roll and brew, rock n roll and brew
I know that you and I oh we got better things to do
I don t know who you are or what you do, or where you go when you re not around
I don t know anything about you baby, but you re everything I m dreaming of
I don t know who you are, but you re a real dead ringer for love
A real dead ringer for love
]
(girl:) Ever since I can remember you been hanging round this joint
You been trying to look away but now you finally got the point
I don t have to know your name and I won t tell you what to do
But a girl - she doesn t live by only rock n roll and brew
Baby baby, baby baby - chorus
You got the kind of legs that do more than walk
(girl:) I don t have to listen to your whimpering talk
(boy:) Listen you got the kind of eyes that do more than see
(girl:) You got a lotta nerve to come on to me
(boy:) You got the kind of lips that do more than drink
(girl:) You got the kind of mind that does less than think
But since I m feeling kinda lonely and my defenses are low
Why don t you give it a shot and get it ready to go
I m looking for anonymous and fleeting satisfaction
And I want to tell my daddy I ll be missing in action
Ever since I can remember I ve been hanging round this joint
My daddy never noticed, now he ll finally get the point
(boy:) You got me beggin on my knees, c mon and throw the dog a bone
A man he doesn t live by rock n roll and brew alone
Baby baby - chorus
Dead ringer for love
Dead ringer for love - dead ringer (repeats 12x)

Meat Loaf - Piece of the action

Tekst :

Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazine
Down on the corner there s a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreams
Someone s cleanin up the offices, one window burnin in the dark
Somebody s cryin is there any way in hell
To light a comet from a single spark
Workin so hard I can t remember much about the freedom I been workin for
Felt like a prisoner til I looked in your eyes
And saw a million wide open doors
Ya tell me put a little money away, well every dog will have his day in time
Well I been slavin like a dog and I got nothin to show ya
But a collar and a fist fulla nickels and dimes
Chorus:
I want a piece, a piece of the action, give me a shot at the real thing
I want a piece of the action, a piece of the action
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Gonna turn on the master, gonna cut these strings
Been livin just like my old man did and neither once of us could get it right
Punchin in when the day begins and punchin out the local boys at night
There s someone leanin on a peelin porch
And someone leavin on a silver plane
And I finally know the man I d rather be
Girl I won t be back to getcha til they know my name
(chorus)
They hand you a paycheck every week and steal a piece of your soul every day
An I don t need no gold watch in fifty years, baby let s be golden today
(chorus repeats 2x...)
(Solo)
(chorus)
Somewhere a red-eyes waitress glances at another movie magazine
Down on the corner there s a grocery boy stuffin boxes fulla hungry dreams

Like a Virgin

Fifteen years old, thought I was in love
I was never told, sex is like drugs
Too much ll drive you crazy -- in fact

Took my virginity, like he took my heart

Outdoor miner

No blind spots in the leopard s eyes
Could ever hope to jeopardize
The lives of lambs
The shepherd cries

An afterlife for a silverfish
Eternal dust, less ticklish
Than a clean room
A houseguest s wish

(chorus)
He lies on his side
Is he trying to hide
In fact it s the earth
Which he s known since birth

Face worker, a...
