Rockinghorse

Alannah Myles Rockinghorse Lyrics
1.Our World Our Times

Little tramp comin' up the strip with a hundred dollar smile
Sparks flyin' off her fingertips, drive the young cop wild
Some nights are wound so tight like a storm about to break
Better stand in your doorway when everything starts to shake

You get restless like a cat waking up at midnight,
Hungry, never quite satisfied

Chorus:
This is our world and these are our times
This is our world and these are our times

Little brother like a street god with a drop dead attitude
Say he's looking like a shadow now, runnin' low on green and
food
Some lives are wound up tight like a wave about to crash
Hard times seem to multiply while the joy runs out so fast

You get restless like a kid crawling out of a bad dream
Hungry, never quite satisfied

repeat chorus x2

(Solo)

Make way for the son of a rebel wired to a bottle of flame
He's got two black eyes and a purple heart and a bone hangin' on
a chain
These times are like dynamite, a head-on with history
Some fool's bound to burn it all down, don't care about you and
me

He'll get desperate like a child in the eye of a nightmare
Hungry, never quite satisfied

repeat chorus x2


2.Make Me Happy

Baby you make me happy
Baby you make me happy (ohh oh)
Baby you make me happy
The way you make me smile
Can't you see I'm yearning for you

I never thought that I
Could ever find someone
Just having you around
Is so much fun
You're right here by my side
Just like I knew you would
And it feels so good
Baby 'cause you make me happy

Baby you make me happy
The way you make me smile
Can't you see I'm yearning for you
Happy (yeah)
Baby you make me happy
Why don't you stay with me tonight

Oh, daddy used to tell me
All I had to do
Was think for myself
And tell the truth
You know how much I love you
How much you mean to me
We were meant to be, oh
Baby 'cause you make me happy, yeah

Baby you make me happy
The way you make me smile
Can't you see I'm yearning for you
Happy
Baby you make me happy
Why don't you stay with me tonight

Baby you make me happy (oh)
The way you make me smile (yeah yeah yeah)
Can't you see I'm yearning for you
Happy
Baby you make me happy
Why don't you stay with me tonight

And I can't get over
(The way you make me smile)
And what you do to me, oh
Yeah, come on over
(Stay with me tonight)
And darling make me
Oh, make me happy, yeah
Make me happy oh, happy ohh

Baby you make me happy (yeah)
Can't you see I'm yearning for you
(I'm yearning for you, baby babe, oh)
Baby you make me happy
The way you make me smile
(Ohh yeah, yeah, yes I smile)
Can't you see I'm yearning for you (ohh)
Happy (oh)

(Baby, baby, baby, oh)
Why don't you stay with me tonight

Baby you make me happy
And now baby, you make me happy
Oh ohh, oh baby, oh baby, oh baby

Why don't you stay with me tonight
(Now stay with me, oh me, oh me, oh)
Baby you make me happy

Oh right, alright
Come on, baby baby
Yeah, ohh

6.Song Instead Of A Kiss

Song instead of a kiss
Baby, this is a song instead of a kiss
For all of you who ache, who long
For nights like this

Song instead of a touch
Darling, this is a song instead of a touch
To all of you who wait so long
And need so much

It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch, instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch in the afternoon

It is for those who like to cling
It is to those, to those I sing
Here is a song instead of a clutch, instead of a moon
Instead of a soothing touch in the afternoon
