    letra de Whatever Happened to Benny Santini?

    They say his chances could not have been better
    All the promise of a July sun in the morning sky
    Laughing at the peering faces
    From the windows of a limousine
    Caviar with the A & R and still only in his teens
    So whatever happened?

    I can see him now, his face lit up in neon
    One hand up in the air as he turns towards the crowd
    His songs of silver arrows they tried to roll into gold
    With diamond tips from painted lips
    Designed and ready to be sold

    They say he could not fall off
    They say he could not fail
    The wealth and fame would fire his flame
    Just as soon as his ship set sail
    So whatever happened?

    Whatever happened to Benny Santini?
    Whatever happened to the guy on the wall?
    Where did he go to if he could not fall off
    They tell you they don't know
    They don't know at all

    letra de The Closer You Get

    Street lights start to come on
    I know that it's time
    Stop what you're doing
    Meet those drinking friends of mine
    First lady call me on the telephone
    She said 'Get out and die young but I'm staying at home'
    Now I believe in love, I believe that it's true
    Know I'm defenceless when I look into blue
    Sleepy eyes down an angel's face
    Don't worry honey no-one's gonna take your place

    The closer you get, the better you look
    Throw me a line
    'Cos the closer you get, the more that I see
    We'll sure have a good time
    I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel?
    We'll there's no rules in my book
    Except the closer you get, the better you look

    Keep one foot in the showroom, one out of sight
    Girl I've had some close ones but I'm doing all right
    Gold on her fingers don't mean a thing
    He'll do his best to hear that sweet lady sing
    Now I got the time if you got the place
    We've got the know how and you got the face
    We got the power, we got no shame
    Come over baby, I sure do wanna light your flame
    'Cos the closer you get, the better you look
    Throw me a line
    The closer you get, the more that I see
    We'll sure have a good time
    I know what you're thinking, well how do I feel?
    We'll there's no rules in my book
    Except the closer you get, the better you look

    letra de Dancing with Charlie

    Charlie was a loser till that sunny day
    No-one saw him leaving as he sailed away
    Treated like a sinner, no-one gave a damn
    Till Charlie threw two sixes
    Now he's got them in his hand

    Now they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie
    They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

    No-one seems to know how
    No-one seems to care
    Doesn't really matter just as long as you are there
    Party in the moonlight, free drinks at the bar
    You can bet what's in your pocket that Charlie won't be far
    Now they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie
    They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

    Charlie bought a jet plane, Charlie rides the sky
    Friends appear from nowhere, Charlie gets them high
    Big D was a gambler with everything to lose
    Charlie didn't have anything
    So he didn't have to choose

    And they're waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie
    They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
    And they're standing in line to go dancing with Charlie
    They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie

    letra de Bows and Bangles

    Born and raised in wilderness
    Of suburban shops and schools
    How she tried and tried to be satisfied
    With a job on the typing pool
    She hated the smell of carbon paper
    The office so smoky and dry
    How she longed for the day she would make her get away
    And say her last goodbye

    Bows and bangles on her fingers
    And silver bells on her toes
    That lady has music where she wonders
    That lady has music where she goes

    Married a guy with prospects
    And so became his wife
    And that my friend is the end of the story
    'Cos that was the rest of his life
    She could have been a movie star
    She could have made the scene
    Right or wrong she still hangs on
    Each night to her favourite dream

    Bows and bangles on her fingers
    And silver bells on her toes
    That lady has music where she wonders
    That lady has music where she goes

    letra de Three Angels

    Nine dollars, two cents
    No money, no rent
    8759 that's the number
    Be on time
    Bring something, don't care
    Whatever, be there
    Good woman, good loving, good feeling
    Three angels

    Eight castles, wants nine
    Unhappy all the time
    Gold headlights, can't see
    Sure could help him, feel free
    Five aces, no calls
    Easy action on the walls
    One burning, two custom, all waiting
    Three angels

    Burns, Hofner, white flats
    All together feeding back
    No mixer, no lights
    Good fixer, be all right
    Dream wishing, downtown
    In the windows, locked sound
    One burning, two custom, all waiting
    Three angels

  8. Just One of Those DaysVer letra 2:40

    [X]

    letra de Just One of Those Days

    Cold red sunsets that freeze the rainbows out
    Standing here in the rain
    I've been thinking how, how much happier
    I have been since you came
    Staring down at the sidewalk shining
    Satin winds floating down
    Change the crystals on ladies faces
    I think I'll stick around
    Laden gutters, flowing over
    Hit the streets and explode
    Young girls laughing and make up streaming
    Go running down the road
    I've been thinking and too much drinking
    And things I just don't dare to say
    It's still raining but who's complaining
    It's just one of those days

  9. Standing in Your DoorwayVer letra 3:52

    [X]

    letra de Standing in Your Doorway

    There'll be no moon tonight
    And the stars won' t light the sky
    There are women on the streets
    But there's no loving in their eyes
    Feeling weary, tired and wishing
    I was standing in your doorway now

    There'll be dancing flames
    Something better cooking slow, perfume heavy
    And all the lanterns turned down slow
    Oh that lucky, oh that lucky man
    Who's standing in your doorway now

    I'm a wandering man, you'll never tie me down
    Lifelong sailor, but how I wish I was homeward bound
    At this moment, tired and wishing
    I was standing at your doorway now

  10. Fires of SpringVer letra 3:57

    [X]

    letra de Fires of Spring

    She's back real late yet she don't seem to care
    She hangs around outside in late night air
    Burning tears upon a smiling face
    And she's caught in the fires of spring

    The ice of loneliness you've known so long
    For good or not seems to have been and gone
    Your Phoenix flies you high on crazy wings
    And you're caught in the fires of spring

    When all that you do has faded from view
    and I tell you it don't mean a thing
    oh you're burned and I'm blind
    and you're caught in the fires of spring

    You've been before but never been so fast
    Your only hope is that it's gonna last
    You know the pain and yet you love it's sting
    And you're caught in the fires of spring
