1.Lenny Valentino
There were mourners on the street
Of every shape and size
The motorcade came down from Redondo
Assasins on the corner tried to throw you a line
You dirty-mouth comic Rodolfo Lenny Valentino reside
The Pope renounced you as the real one
Lazarus decided to rise
The twentieth century had only begun
Ladies averted their eyes
Lenny Valentino reside
John Judnich in the bathroom reading the law
Kitty in the hall with your mother
The girls are sick and tired of your blah blah blah
Some beat-kid said there's no other
and Lenny Valentino reside
2.Brainchild
Some of the things a cowboy do
To make you howl out at the moon
And blush...
I think you悲 better look around
There愀 a genius in every town
Keep your ear down to the grown
No mothers son will ever forget it
Brainchild - you stole away my life
For a while
Stole away my life
Stole away my time
Stole away...
You愉e a thief with style
Your unfaithful sertvants calling you
In and out of your blind spot out of view
I think you悲e better turn a leaf
The poet is the only thief
What patti says patti does
No mothers son will let you forget it
Brainchild
Style - meticulous and gaunt
Style - articulate!
Style - preoccupation
Great lost albums no outtakes
You愉e getting older and past your peak
I think you better look around
There愀 a genius in your home town
No mothers son will ever forget you
Brainchild
You愉e a thief with style
3.I尋 A Rich Mans Toy
I惴 a rich mans toy
Sick of the way you扉e been putting me
Down sick of all your stupid games
I惴 a rich mans toy
You愉e a son of a gun and i惴 easily led
Coming up sometimes for air
I惴 a rich mans toy
Sick of the way you扉e been putting me
Down sick of all your stupid games
A toy - when you die they惻l burn your
Bones but they惻l never destroy your
Reamins
You must be the king of the world
I惴 a rich mans toy
The duchess envoy said when i was a
Kind
You悲 smack me around on a whim
I惴 a rich mans toy
Your boyfriend moved all my things in
The hall
- didn愒 know you were sleeping with
Him
I惴 a rich mans toy
With powder and make-up
Du think that i scrub well？
Watching you wake up
Who愀 right who愀 not
Who愀 gonna get it now that i惴 a
Rich mans toy
What愀 the matter with me？
What愀 the matter with you？
What愀 the matter with me？
Read us the riot act
Or read off your cues
Powder and make-up
Watching you wake up
Do you think i scrub well
Who愀 right who愀 not？
Who owes who what
Who愀 gonna get it now...
I惴 a rich mans toy
4.New French Girlfirend
Want a girl to hold my hand
When the plane lands
When the cracks appear in the plan
And the rocks turn into sand
Better call my new french girlfiend
Make a call international
All around the world
Money fame liberate and free
Alain, rene, vanessa and me
Ahh...
Better call my new french girlfriend
That愀
The price
Of success
Want a girl to hold my hand
When the plane lands
5.The Upper Classes
Some of the clothes you stole
From your lovers home
Make you glow in the dark -
Make you light up
The room on your own
Formative years were a drag
But we passed the time somehow
I惴 in a cahoots with the
Upper classes now
Put it all in a trust fund
She can愒 touch 愒ill she愀 twenty one
Amazing the cruel hand of fate
A tax loss against the state
You had to move three times this year
I悲 rather be any where but there
The champagne highs and the giddy
Lights - are paradise
House guest is here
Can愒 believe that the vanishing point appeared
Can hardly believe
- people live in houses behind trees
Formative years were a drag
But we passed the time somehow
I惴 in a cahoots with the upper classes now
That cunt愀 really got it sussed
Selling wine, selling drugs
You can愒 get so far whit a pershing wit
But the money愀 in trust - isn愒 it？
What treasures can you hold and name
You don愒 have the right face
The champagne highs and the giddy lights
- are paradise
Some of your friends,from your other life
Just don愒 belong
They愉e crude and they愉e plain
It愀 not their fault
It愀 the world they愉e from
(and) you can愒 come here no more
Unless you use the tradesmans door
There愀 nothing wrong with inherited wealth
If you melt the silver - yourself
Put it all in a trust fund
She can愒 touch 愒ill she愀 twenty one
The champagne highs and the giddy lights
- are paradise
Some of the clothes you stole
From your lovers home
Are better than the clothes
We stole from the
Shops in our own
I惴 in a cahoots with the
Upper classes now
6.Chinese Bakery
She愀 going downtown
But she comes from uptown
Where the brokers and the dealers socialise
She愀 going downtown
Cos she愀 a poet
And the chinese bakery愀 open all night
Toulouse lautrec called up today
Said it愀 rock n愉oll anyway
Excuse me while i惴 tearing off your head
Epiphany just went to ground
The three men just can愒 be found
The underground just shook its weary head
She said she愀 gonna show me around
The chinese bakery thats open
Twenty hours
She愀 going downtown...
Got a roller coaster in my head
You press the button - i惻l eject
Your present is just somebodys past
Don愒 blink, pinch me twice
Just seen bob dylan on a motorbike
I don愒 think this relationship will last
She said she愀 gonna show me around
The chinese bakery thats open
Twenty hours
She愀 going downtown...
And the chinese bakery愀 open all night
7.A Sister Like You
Two sisters sighed
Sais we might as well be lovers
We愉e so close
Just like blood brothers
And the horse guard died
I lost all power
She said to me
Dis you come down in the shower
Their mother cried
Her religion was faultless
Thought obeyed
She remained unaware of this
And the horse guard...
What am i to do
For a sister like you
Two sisters cried
For their missing brother
Who was found cold but alive
No longer their lover
8.Underground Movies
We first met it was raining
In a house with bay windows
And all the fitting and fixtures
And a catalogue of injury
She愀 got a credo in underground movies
Her father is a lawyer
Who paid for the fitting and fixtures
And a house with bay windows
And i惴 calling from a baltimore hotel
Don愒 let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You愉e on a limb again
Calling from a baltimore hotel
Don愒 let it ring again
Your movies are your own
Don愒 let him in again
Four weeks later in april
I took her to the doctors
Said 'i扉e no prescription'
For compromised solution
And i惴 calling from a baltimore hotel
Don愒 let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You愉e on a limb again
Calling from a baltimore hotel
Don愒 let it ring again
Your movies are your own
Don愒 let him in again
Ten years
Caught in a trap by my own cunning
Thought i was smart
Thought i was dying
For years
I lived in a flat without water running
Thought it was smart
Thought it was funny
I'm writing in memoirs
The underground press remain faithful
Ghost writing her memoirs
Maybe we惻l get it on cable
9.Life Classes ／ Life Model
Bruises from your head to your toe
There are marks all over you
There愀 no place for you to hide
Since they painted you black and blue
Blue愀 the colour i made your eyes
Charcoat the hair
If i fall down
Don愒 be surprised
This surveillance was unprepared
I惴 watching over
You every move
Life classes life model
Life lesson due
Show me where to disrobe dear
Where i惴 out of view
Say something good or shut your mouth
This surveillance is overdue
I惴 watching over
You every move
Life classes life model
Life lesson due
And there愀 no way to hold your head
So hold your head that low
And there愀 no way to hold your head
So those things just don愒 show
Now i惴 a cowboy
Carrying a gun
Life classes ／ life model
Life lesson begun
10.Modern History
Well the desk porter laughed
News of our legend and our exploits
Travelled car
From bell-hop to hired car
All this and more
Modern history
On the third floor
So is this where he died
Spend your life cutting words up
With a knife
I light a candle for each night
You wate away your life
Modern history
On the third floor
Well they愉e never gonna forget us
We愉e the most famous
People that they know
Went to a party
I didn愒 say a word
You don愒 know how lucky you were
You don愒 know how lucky you are
So we set fire to your room
And we bandaged up your
Hands and arms - now
Where愀 your beauty gone
Modern history
On the third floor
11.Daughter Of A Child
You扉e had your fill of laughing gas
And pacing 愉ound the waiting room
Heard you moved into an empty house
When they broke into the girls bedroom
The daughter of a child
Said she愀 got the whole thing down
Best inform the missing persons act
You know your daughter cant be found
Do you want something to eat？
Who悲 look good in captoe愀 hat
Are you trying to poison me
Who siad that i could ever act
Daughter of a child...
