1. All I Wanna Do

   Letra

   Hit it! This ain't no disco It ain't no country club either This is LA! "All I wanna do is have a little fun before I die," Says the man next to me out of nowhere It's apropos Of nothing He says his name's William but I'm sure, He's Bill or Billy or Mac or Buddy And he's plain ugly to me And I wonder if he's ever had a day of fun in his whole life We are drinking beer at noon on Tuesday In a bar that faces a giant car wash The good people of the world are washing their cars On their lunch break, hosing and scrubbing As best they can in skirts in suits They drive their shiny Datsuns and Buicks Back to the phone company, the record store too Well, they're nothing like Billy and me, cause [Chorus] All I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one All I wanna do is have some fun I got a feeling I'm not the only one All I wanna do is have some fun Until the sun comes up over Santa Monica Boulevard I like a good beer buzz early in the morning And Billy likes to peel the labels From his bottles of Bud He shreds them on the bar Then he lights every match in an oversized pack Letting each one burn down to his thick fingers before blowing and cursing them out And he's watching the bottles of Bud as they spin on the floor And a happy couple enters the bar Dangerously close to one another The bartender looks up from his want ads [Chorus] Otherwise the bar is ours, The day and the night and the car wash too The matches and the Buds and the clean and dirty cars The sun and the moon but [Chorus]
2. Soak Up The Sun

   Letra

   My friend the communist Holds meetings in his RV I can't afford his gas So I'm stuck here watching TV I don't have digital I don't have diddly squat It's not having what you want It's wanting what you've got I'm gonna soak up the sun Gonna tell everyone To lighten up I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun I'm gonna soak up the sun I've got a crummy job It don't pay near enough To buy the things it takes To win me some of your love Every time I turn around I'm looking up, you're looking down Maybe something's wrong with you That makes you act the way you do I'm gonna soak up the sun Gonna tell everyone To lighten up I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun While it's still free I'm gonna soak up the sun Before it goes out on me Don't have no master suite But I'm still the king of me You have a fancy ride, but baby I'm the one who has the key Every time I turn around I'm looking up, you're looking down Maybe something's wrong with you That makes you act the way you do Maybe I am crazy too I'm gonna soak up the sun Gonna tell everyone To lighten up I'm gonna tell 'em that I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun Gonna tell everyone To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that) I've got no one to blame For every time I feel lame I'm looking up I'm gonna soak up the sun I got my 45 on So I can rock on
3. My Favorite Mistake

   Letra

   I woke up and called this morning The tone of your voice was a warning That you don't care for me anymore I made up the bed we sleep in I looked at the clock when you creep in It's 6 a.m. and I'm alone [Chorus:] Did you know when you go It's the perfect ending To the bad day I was just beginning When you go all I know is You're my favorite mistake Your friends are sorry for me They watch you pretend to adore me But I'm no fool to this game Now here comes your secret lover She'd be unlike any other Until your guilt goes up in flames [Chorus:] Did you know when you go It's the perfect ending To the bad day I'd gotten used to spending When you go all I know is You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake Well maybe nothin' lasts forever Even when you stay together I don't need forever after It's your laughter won't let me go So I'm holding on this way Did you know, could you tell You were the only one That I ever loved Now everything's so wrong Did you see me walking by? Did it ever make you cry? You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake You're my favorite mistake
4. The First Cut Is The Deepest

   Letra

   I would have given you all of my heart But there's someone who's torn it apart And he's taken just all that I had But if you want I'll try to love again Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know... The first cut is the deepest Baby I know The first cut is the deepest But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst... I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried And I'm sure gonna give you a try If you want I'll try to love again, try Baby, I'll try to love again, but I know... The first cut is the deepest Baby I know The first cut is the deepest But when it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed But when it comes to lovin' me, he's worst... I still want you by my side Just to help me dry the tears that I've cried But I'm sure gonna give you a try Cause if you want I'll try to love again (Try to love again, try to love again) Baby, I'll try to love again but I know The first cut is the deepest Baby I know The first cut is the deepest When it comes to bein' lucky, he's cursed When it comes to lovin' me, he's worst The first cut is the deepest Baby I know (baby I know) The first cut is the deepest Try to love again...
5. Everyday Is A Winding Road
6. Leaving Las Vegas

   Letra

   Life springs eternal On a gaudy neon street Not that I care at all I spent the best part of my losing streak In an Army Jeep For what I can't recall Oh I'm banging on my TV set And I check the odds And I place my bet I pour a drink And I pull the blind And I wonder what I'll find [Chorus] I'm Leaving Las Vegas Lights so bright Palm sweat, blackjack On a Saturday night Leaving Las Vegas Leaving for good, for good I'm leaving for good I'm leaving for good Used to be I could drive up to Barstow for the night Find some crossroad trucker To demonstrate his might But these days it seems Nowhere is far enough away So I'm leaving Las Vegas today [Chorus] I'm standing in the middle of the desert Waiting for my ship to come in But now no joker, no jack, no king Can take this loser hand And make it win [Chorus] I quit my job as a dancer At the Lido Des Girls Dealing blackjack until one or two Such a muddy line between The things you want And the things you have to do [Chorus] I'm leaving Las Vegas And I won't be back No I won't be back Not this time
7. Strong Enough

   Letra

   God, I feel like hell tonight Tears of rage I cannot fight I'd be the last to help you understand Are you strong enough to be my man, my man? Nothing's true and nothing's right So let me be alone tonight Cause you can't change the way I am Are you strong enough to be my man? Lie to me I promise I'll believe Lie to me But please don't leave, don't leave I have a face I cannot show I make the rules up as I go Just try and love me if you can Are you strong enough to be my man, my man? Are you strong enough to be my man? Are you strong enough to be my man? Are you strong? My man. When I've shown you that I just don't care When I'm throwing punches in the air When I'm broken down and I can't stand Would you be man enough to be my man? Lie to me I promise I'll believe Lie to me But please don't leave

9. If It Makes You Happy

   Letra

   I've been long, a long way from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos, And drank til I was thirsty again We went searching through thrift store jungles Found Geronimo's rifle, Marilyn's shampoo And Benny Goodman's corset and pen Well, o.k. I made this up I promised you I'd never give up [Chorus] If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad You get down, real low down You listen to Coltrane, derail your own train Well who hasn't been there before? I come round, around the hard way Bring you comics in bed, scrape the mold off the bread And serve you french toast again Well, o.k. I still get stoned I'm not the kind of girl you'd take home [Chorus] We've been far, far away from here Put on a poncho, played for mosquitos And everywhere in between Well, o.k. we get along So what if right now everything's wrong? [Chorus]
10. The Difficult Kind

    Letra

    I think I was wrong I think you were right That all my angry words Will keep me up at night And through the old screen door I still hear you say Oh, Honey won't you stop Treating me that way [Chorus] If you could only see What love has made of me Then I'd no longer be in your mind The difficult kind Cause babe I've changed Tell it to me slow Tell me with your eyes If anyone should know How to let it slide I swear I can see you Coming up the drive And there ain't nothing like regret To remind you you're alive [Chorus] I crossed the canyon a thousand times But never noticed what was mine What you'll remember of me tonight Well, it almost makes me cry Yeah, it almost makes me cry Oh ballbreaking moon and ridiculing stars The older I get, the closer you are Don't you have somewhere that you need to be Instead of hanging here making a fool of me If you could only see What love has made of me Then I'd no longer be in your mind The difficult kind But you won't see the change in me If you could only see What love has made of me But I'll forever be in your mind The difficult kind But you won't see No you won't see The good in me But babe I've changed Cause babe I've changed
11. Picture
12. Steve McQueen

    Letra

    Well I went to bed in Memphis And I woke up in Hollywood I got a quarter in my pocket And I'd call you if I could But I don't know why I gotta fly I wanna rock and roll this party I still wanna have some fun I wanna leave you feeling breathless Show you how the west was won But I gotta fly I gotta fly [CHORUS:] Like Steve McQueen All I need's a fast machine I'm gonna make it all right Like Steve McQueen Underneath your radar screen You'll never catch me tonite I ain't takin' shit off no one Baby that was yesterday I'm an all American rebel Making my big getaway Yeah you know it's time I gotta fly [CHORUS] We got rockstars in the Whitehouse All our popstars look like porn All my heroes hit the highway They don't hang out here no more You can tell me on my cellphone You can page me all night long But you won't catch this freebird I'll already be long gone Like Steve McQueen All we need's a fast machine And we're gonna make it all right [CHORUS]
13. A Change Would Do You Good
14. Home

    Letra

    I woke up this morning Now I understand What it means to give your life To just one man Afraid of feeling nothing No bees or butterflies My head is full of voices And my house is full of lies [chorus] This is home, home And this is home, home This is home I found your standing there When I was seventeen Now I'm thirty-two And I can't remember what I'd seen in you I made a promise Said it everyday Now I'm reading romance novels And I'm dreaming of yesterday [Chorus] I'd like to see the Riviera And slowdance underneath the stars I'd like to watch the sun come up In a stranger's arms [Chorus] I'm going crazy A little everyday And everything I wanted Is now driving me away I woke this morning To the sound of breaking hearts Mine is full of questions And it's tearing yours apart...
15. There Goes The Neighborhood

    Letra

    Hey let's party Let's get down Let's turn the radio on This is the meltdown Get out the camera Take a picture The drag queens and the freaks Are all out on the town And cowboy Jane's in bed Nursing a swollen head [Chorus] Sunshine Sally and Peter Ustanov Don't like the scene any how I dropped acid on a Saturday night Just to see what the fuss was about Now there goes the neighborhood The photo chick made to look sickly Is standing in her panties in the shower She plays the guitar in the bathroom While the police dust her mother's plastic flowers And Schoolboy John's in jail Making a killing through the U.S. mail [Chorus] This is the movie of the screenplay Of the book about a girl who meets a junkie. The messenger gets shot down Just for carrying the message to a flunkie. We can't be certain who the villans are 'cuz everyone's so pretty But the afterparty's sure to be a wing-ding as it moves into your city [Chorus] There goes the neighborhood There goes the neighborhood
16. I Shall Believe

    Letra

    Come to me now And lay your hands over me Even if it's a lie Say it will be alright And I shall believe I'm broken in two And I know you're on to me That I only come home When I'm so all alone But I do believe That not everything is gonna be the way You think it ought to be It seems like every time I try to make it right It all comes down on me Please say honestly you won't give up on me And I shall believe And I shall believe Open the door And show me your face tonight I know it's true No one heals me like you And you hold the key Never again would I turn away from you I'm so heavy tonight But your love is alright And I do believe That not everything is gonna be the way You think it ought to be It seems like every time I try to make it right It all comes down on me Please say honestly You won't give up on me And I shall believe I shall believe
