Eels Hombre Lobo:12 Songs of Desire Lyrics
1.Prizefighter

Well, if you need me
I'm right here
No matter what
I'm always near

Yeah I've been through alot
and you can't scare me
Now go on baby
if you just dare me

I'll break through
any wall
just give me a call

I'm a dynamite-er
I'm a prizefighter

Well if you get sad
I'm your friend
I've got an ear
I'll always lend

You know that you can always talk to me
now come on baby take a walk with me

Tell me all
Tell Daddy all
Just give me a call

I'm a go-all-nighter
I'm a prizefighter

Well when you're down
and all alone
there's always somewhere
you can go

Here I am, a true friend
there's nothing gonna change
over here on my end

Don't be scared
it's better shared
You know I'll always care

I'm an everythings-all-righter
I'm a prizefighter

Well if you need me
I'm right here
No matter what
I'm always near

Well I been through alot
and you can't scare me
Now come on baby
if you just dare me

I'll win your heart
Now let it start
let it start

I'm a don't-do-it-wrong-do-it-righter
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter


2.That Look You Give That Guy

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
I see you with your man; your eyes just shine
While he stands tall and lookin' proud

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy
instead of me
I'd never let you down

It always seems like you're goin' somewhere
Better than you been before
Well, I go to sleep, and I dream all night
Of you knockin' on my door

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy
instead of me
I'd be all I can be
I'd be all I can be

I'm nothin' like what I'd like to be
I'm nothin' much, I know it's true
I lack the style and the pedigree
And my chances are so few

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy
instead of me
I'd give you all I got

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
But if, let's say, it won't work out
You know where I can be found

That look you give that guy
I wanna see
Lookin' right at me
If I could be that guy
instead of me
I'd never let you down
I'd never let you down


3.Lilac Breeze


4.In My Dreams

My Love is always
just as she seems
A force of nature on the road
to be reckoned with
whatever's wrong with me
I kissed routines
And it's all there
In my dreams
In my Dreams

My love is soaring
She glides through the sky
Hardly a warning, she takes my hand
Says open your eyes
we looked down on the earth
And all its schemes
We laugh and it's all there
In my dreams
In my dreams

We swoop down the lowly clouds
Destination unknown
And then she says, lets go home

My love is resting
Under a tree
She whispers softly in my ear
As she lay next to me
That was the funnest day
Her sad eyes beam
And it's all there
In my dreams
In my dreams


5.Tremendous Dynamite

I am
El Hombre Lobo
On the prowl for a restless night
I got her right here in my sights
Got a fuse that I can't light
She's tremendous
She's dynamite!

She is
A formidable opponent
She can put up a hard-won fight
Got her head screwed on real tight
Bein' the bomb is her birthright
She's tremendous
She's dynamite!

She's tremendous dynamite

I am
El Hombre Lobo
On the prowl just past midnight
Drivin' under the town searchlights
It's all worth it to take a bite
She's tremendous
She's dynamite!


6.The Longing

The longing is a pain
A heavy pressure on my chest
It rarely leaves
My day becomes a quest

To try not to think about her
And all that she brings
Forget about her magic
All the beautiful things

Sure, there are other
Things to life
But I can't think of
One single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
Just to see her
Her smile, her touch
Her smell
Her laugh

The longing is a friend
A way to stay close
I feel like she's here
I feel like she knows

That when I say I would die for her
It's not just words; I really would
And to make the world a safer place for her
Well, I believe I really could

Sure, there are other
Things to life
But I can't think of
One single thing
That matters more
Than just to see her
To see her
Her tears, her sorrow
Her faults
Her doubts

I love them all


7.Fresh Blood

Sun down on the sorry day
By nightlights the children pray
I know you're prob'ly gettin' ready for bed
Beautiful woman, get out of my head

I'm so tired of the same old crud
Sweet baby, I need fresh blood

The moon shines on the autumn sky
Growin' cold, the leaves all die
I'm more alone than I've ever been
Help me out of the shape I'm in

After the fires, before the flood
My sweet baby, I need fresh blood

Whatever trepidation you may feel
In your heart, you know it's not real
In a moment of clarity
Some little act of charity

You gotta pull me out of this mud
Sweet baby, I need fresh blood


8.What's A Fella Gotta Do

I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble
Baby, lie beneath my life's rubble
I'll tell you what's really makin' me sad
Your disinterest is drivin' me mad

You're so fine
If you were mine, I'd love you, uh
Give me a sign, my darling
Well, I can shine if you just let me know

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

I'm so tired of feelin' I could be more
I need a purpose; what am I for?
What I'd like, after close inspection
Is you to look in my direction

You're so fine
If you were mine, I'd love you, uh
Give me a sign, my darling
Well, I can shine if you just give it up

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

I'm so bored, I welcome a disaster
Anything to make the heart beat faster
But I got a feelin'
Well, you could be so right
Make my day
I'll make your night

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?
What's a fella gotta do
To spend a little time with you?

What's a fella gotta do (I'm so bored, I wanna get in trouble)
To spend a little time with you? (Baby, lie beneath my life's
rubble)
What's a fella gotta do (I'll tell you what's really makin' me
sad)
To spend a little time with you? (Your disinterest is drivin' me
mad)

What's a fella gotta do (I'm so tired of feelin' I could be
more)
To spend a little time with you? (I need a purpose; what am I
for?)
What's a fella gotta do (What I'd like is after close
inspection)
To spend a little time with you? (Is you to look in my
direction)


9.My Timing Is Off

My timing is off
She isn't ready for my love
It's all that I got
But it's a pretty big
Thing that she should recognize
The truth between us cannot hide

She knows that it's real
But the situation doesn't fit
I know what I feel
And I know that this is really
Everything it's all about
And I don't have a single doubt

My timing is off
'Cause sometimes that's how it all works
Believe it or not
We don't have a choice in matters of the heart
Just gotta be brave enough
To love and let yourself
Be loved

My timing is off
But I'm not worried 'bout a thing
She knows that it's real
She couldn't throw it all
Away for fear of happiness
This isn't like that other mess


10.All The Beautiful Things

Everyday I wake up
And wonder why
I'm alone when I know,
I am a lovely guy
Birds come down from the sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with ... you

Every night I
Carry out my plan
Pray to god that one day I can be your man
Birds come down from the sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with..
You would be my only friend in the world
Or you could just be my girl

And if I do run away from this life
It won't be much for me
In the afterlife
although I know that you
Don't even care
I would rather stay in a
World where
Birds come down from the sky so blue
See all the beautiful things you do
Why can't I just get with... you


11.Beginner's Luck

All my life I had this funny little feeling
It came and went time and again with all my daily demons
Call it a deficit, an emptiness inside
Why is true love hard to find, why does true love hide?

But now I found you and I know that we will be
so very happy, if you could only see (woah)
that I was made for you
and you were made for me

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
we've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side
If you are willing, well, I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've gotta take the ride

I've got a plan, you know, I've got it all worked out
and all you've got to do is pack your bags and check your doubts
Well, come around and you will see just what I am -
a true love through the worst of times, a true love til the end

So now you've found me and you only gotta see
how complementary we can really be (woah)
Cause I was made for you
and you were made for me

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
we've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side (woah)
we will be stronger if our forces are allied
And with beginner's luck we've gotta take the ride

We'll take the ride as far as anyone can go
We'll brave it all, yeah, hand-in-hand and toe-to-toe
I've got it all worked out, don't worry 'bout a thing
just give your hand to me - and here, put on this ring

The road in front of us is long and it is wide
we've got beginner's luck, we've got it on our side (woah)
If you are willing, well, I think I'm qualified
And with beginner's luck we've gotta take the ride


12.Ordinary Man

Well, it's another warm day
In a city of cold hearts
They all just play the part of who they are

And I'm here on my own
I'd rather be alone
Than try to be someone that I'm not

And you seem like someone who could
Appreciate the fact
That I'm no ordinary man

And it's misunderstood
What you've heard about me
I see why you would doubt me, but know this:

No one has the right
Until they've fought my fight
To understand just where I'm coming from

And it's that fight that brought me here today
Exactly as I am
No ordinary man

Well, it's another warm day
In a city of cold hearts
It ends before it starts in their maze

But you, you're not like that
You know where it's at
The only rules you follow are your own

And you seem like someone who could
Appreciate the fact
That I'm no ordinary man
