Abc Alphabet City Lyrics
1.Ark-Angel

Red ribbon rainbow
A garland of gold for your hair
Wherever you go
I see faith crush despair
In chaos find courage
The answer to my prayer
Lipstick... liner... perfume... soap
Won't scrub this city or give it hope
You're the antidote... you're an...
Ark-Angel
Do you dream about me too
Ark-Angel
When I dream I dream of you
Ark-Angel
But could I change this world for you?
Ark-Angel
You do... you do
Whisper it softly
Or scream your name out loud
God built an angel
In sun and sky and cloud
Then heaven sent vengeance
To a world that once stood proud
Lipstick... liner... perfume... soap
Won't scrub this city or give it hope
You're the antidote... you're an...
Ark-Angel
Do you dream about me too
Ark-Angel
When I dream I dream of you
Ark-Angel
But could I change this world for you?
Ark-Angel
You do... you do... you do
Icarus rising - flies too close to the sun
Icarus falling - a moral for everyone
You're the only one... You're an...
Ark-Angel
Do you dream about me too
Ark-Angel
When I dream I dream of you
Ark-Angel
But could I change this world for you?
Ark-Angel
Then fly... then fly... fly...


2.Bad Blood

Somehow... someway... somewhere
Bad blood - When you speak you know I'll listen
Bad blood - all your kisses now I'll miss them
Bad blood - a bulletin on in car system
Bad blood is back
There are those who complain
There are those who cope
There are those who lose all belief
There are those who still hope
There are those who can solve your problems
There are those who live life like a TV...
Life like a TV soap
Gonna bring bad blood
Bad blood - When you speak you know I'll listen
Bad blood - all your kisses now I'll miss them
Bad blood - a bulletin on in car system
Bad blood is back
There are those you should meet
There are those to avoid
There are those who act brave in defeat
There are those who feel destroyed
There are those who just mute the heartache
There are those for whom life ain't over...
Life ain't overjoyed
Gonna bring bad blood
Bad blood - When you speak you know I'll listen
Bad blood - all your kisses now I'll miss them
Bad blood - a bulletin on in car system
Bad blood is back
And bad blood breeds bad
What's good?
What's good?
What's good about goodbye?
Heartache... heartache... heartache...
Bad blood - When you speak you know I'll listen
Bad blood - all your kisses now I'll miss them
Bad blood - a bulletin on in car system
Bad blood is back
And bad blood breeds bad
Bad blood... bad blood...


3.Jealous Lover

To all of those who had their doubts
Now those doubts... I forgive 'em
To everyone who's led one life
Then love life... its humble rhythm
To all of those who harbour dreams
All you get... is what you're given
Meanwhile the maximum... maximum goes down
Right from the start
I knew you'd break my heart
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Rope tied and bound
I been lost and found
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Jealous of my loving
Jealous of my leaving... jealous
Jealous of my living
Jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover... there's no other
If all they say and do were true
Just like you... I'd be with 'em
But lies survive... remains forbidden
For every single point of view
Then there's two... that must be hidden
Meantime the maximum... maximum goes down
Right from the start
I knew you'd break my heart
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Rope tied and bound
I been lost and found
Jealous lover... jealous lover
Jealous of my loving
Jealous of my leaving... jealous
Jealous of my living
Jealous of my breathing
Jealous lover... there's no other
Meantime - the maximum... maximum
Nothing more and nothing less
Grip tight - the maximum... the maximum
You say no... I say yes
Don't be... don't be... don't be...
Jealous lover - jealous lover


4.King Without A Crown

Welcome to the great republic
Guess I should show you round
Where once I was a king
And now I am a clown
The love that we once shared
Made a king of me
But now you're gone... but now you're gone
All I face is poverty
...King without a heart
...King without a hope
...King without a woman baby
Oh I'm a king without a crown
...King without a heart
...King without a hope
...King without a woman baby
Oh I'm a king without a crown
Hell hath no fury
Like a woman scorned
But heaven don't boast - no heaven don't boast
The jewel - the pretty jewel I just pawned
Every cloud has a silver lining
Every dog has its day
Oh but I guess the sun stopped shining
On the day you went away
...King without a heart
...King without a hope
...King without a woman baby
Oh I'm a king without a crown
...King without a heart
...King without a hope
...King without a woman baby
Oh I'm a king without a crown
...King without a heart
...King without a hope
...King without a woooman baby
Yes I'm a king - king! King without a crown
Bathed in former glory
Deposed from my throne
How do I get to tell my story?
When all I get's your answerphone...
But you ain't home
With the love you gave
I felt like royalty
But now you're face to face - face to face
With one ex-member of the aristocracy
There's no need to feel down
Yeah just take a look around
You'll see a man who's just a man
Nothing more
A king without a crown


5.One Day

Knifing my way through a diamond mine
Dragging those rocks
From seabed to shoreline
Rubies and sapphires from Emerald bay
Stretching across the milky way
One day... one day...
Prospecting gold and staking my claim
But the only thing I treasure
Is hearing your name
Most everyone dreams diamonds and furs
I dream of love and baby it's yours
One day... one day...
One day you'll realise
You'll see it on her eyes
No room for alibis - one day... one day...
One day you'll realise
Feel me materialise
You'll see you're just a fool to leave me
One day... one day... one day soon baby
They say that your life is an open book
Well I just wrote a chapter so take a look
Can't blame it on fate or destiny
Now that your book... it features me
One day... one day...
One day you'll realise
You'll see it on her eyes
No room for alibis - one day... one day...
One day you'll realise
Feel me materialise
You'll see you're just a fool to leave me
One day... one day... one day soon baby
Hardly a day goes by without me thinking of you
No matter how hard I try you can't escape a dream
Living my life - in the lap of luxury
Living my life - confuse me... confuse me babee
One day you'll realise
You'll see it on her eyes
No room for compromise - one day... one day...
One day you'll realise
Feel me materialise
You'll see you're just a fool to leave me
You can't shake a dream - how I wish that you could
One day you're mine get that understood
Until then each night I shall pray
For a love that lasts forever and...
One day... one day...


6.Rage And Then Regret

Was it rage or regret
Or the love I was feeling
In this age - who's perfect... are you?
Wasn't made to forget
This moment worth stealing
Was it rage or regret or the two
Every morning when I wake up
Wake up dreaming then... wake up dreaming
Build a temple from you fragrance
Build a chapel in your heart
Do you really understand
Do you feel the need to try
Do you even care for me
Do you ever wonder why
Rage and then regret
'Bout as real as real can get
Rage and then regret
Through the violence the angry silence
Does our love grow strong or die
A parachute or a pilot's licence
Do we fall in love or fly
Do you really understand
Do you feel the need to try
Do you even care for me
Do you ever wonder why
Rage and then regret
'Bout as real as real can get
Rage and then regret
The harder we come
The harder we fall
The harder it is to stand tall
The more that we fight
The more that we brawl
The more we're alike - that's all... that's all
Rage and then regret
'Bout as real as real can get
Rage and then regret
Rage and then regret
'Bout as real as real can get
There are things you don't forget
Anger cools to idle threats


7.The Night You Murdered Love

It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
From an early age
I was taught to respect
That a broken heart girl
Ain't a thing you collect
Close your eyes and say
Nothing lasts a day
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
Close your eyes and say
Honour love obey
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
January... February... March and April May
June July sees you go by
I see love walk away
Didn't use a blade
A bullet or a gun
You poisoned the moonlight
When you put out the sun
Close your eyes and say
Nothing lasts a day
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
Close your eyes and say
Honour love obey
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
January... February... March and April May
June July sees you go by
I see love walk away
Close your eyes and say
Nothing lasts a day
You're wasting my time
Yet I love to love you
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love
It's cold outside - The night love died
On the night you murdered love


8.Think Again

Better call and collect
Treat me with respect
If you think our love is pedigree
Push a button... disconnect
Dial again... redirect
You're wrong... you know it isn't me
Totally misguided
Babe you're misadvised
Don't even try to fight it
Your promises are lies
Did you think our love was sacred
Well it's much too over-rated
Think again... you're wrong
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again... you're wrong
Don't need a horoscope
Don't need a telescpe
To see the way you cheat on me
Think I'd give up hope
Hanging by a rope
If I though you'd never set me free
Totally misguided
Think our love is strong
Think I'd get excited
I think you got it wrong
Did you think our love was sacred
Well it's much too over-rated
Think again... you're wrong
And our love's a precious memory
Better look what heaven sent me
Think again... you're wrong
I'll admit to being confused
And I'm used to being used
Think again... you're wrong
So wrong... so wrong... so wrong...
Think again... think again... think!
Think again... think!
Think again... think!
Love to believe you - love you and leave
You're wrong... so wrong
Hate to deceive you - love you then leave
You're wrong... so wrong
No secret sneak preview - don't need to see
you're wrong... so so wrong


9.When Smokey Sings

Debonair lullabies in melodies revealed
In deep despair on lonely nights
He knows just how you feel
The slyest rhymes - the sharpest suits
In miracles made real
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right - makes it outtasite
And everything's good in the world tonight!
When Smokey sings - I hear violins
When Smokey sings - I forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
The front door might slam
But the back door it rings
And Smokey sings... he sings
Elegance in eloquence - for sale or rent or hire
Should I say - yes I match his best
Then I would be a liar
Symphonies that soothe the rage
When lovers' hearts catch fire
Like a bird in flight on a hot sweet night
You know you're right just to hold her tight
He soothes it right - makes it outtasite
And everything's good in the world tonight!
When Smokey sings - I hear violins
When Smokey sings - I forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
Smashing the hell
With the heaven she brings
Then Smokey sings... he sings
Luther croons
Sly's the original - originator
James screams
Marvin was the only innovator
But nothing can compare
Nothing can compare
When Smokey sings
When Smokey sings - I hear violins
When Smokey sings - I forget everything
As she's packing her things
As she's spreading her wings
She threw back the ring
When Smokey sings...
Smokey sings...
Smokey sings...
