Big Bam Boom

Hall&Oates Big Bam Boom Lyrics
1.Dance On Your Knees

(instrumental)


2.Out Of Touch

Shake it up is all that we know
Using the bodies up as we go
Waking up to fantasy
The shates all around aren't the colors we used to see
Broken ice still melts in the sun
And times that are broken can often be one again
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Take a look around

You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But i'm out of my head when you're not around

Reaching out for something to hold
Looking for a love where the climate is cold
Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle between the two extremes
Smoking guns hot to the touch
Would cool down if we didn't use them so much
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Too much


3.Method Of Modern Love

In the moonlite
Under startlite
Songs old as the night are what i've been dreaming of
Everybody's hard as iron
Locked in a modern world
Dreams are make of a different stuff

I believe love will always be the same
Ways and means are the parts subject to change
M-e-t-h-o-d-o-f-l-o-v-e
It's a method of modern love

I can call you
Got your number
Share my life with you a thousand miles away
If you've hurt me
I haven't shown it
Time's too tight to fight
And we're never face to face
Style is timeless and fashion's only now
We've got the ways no one needs to show us how


4.Bank On Your Love

One lonely eye faces the queen
How far she goes remains to be seen
She can be hard and she knows it
She plays her heart and doesn't show it
Cold night cold like me
No lov elost betting on the king
And it's a hard unknown
Before the hand is showing
The con is out when the eagle flies
If you know the hand is quicker than the eye

Can i bank on your love

Hands down left high and dry
Games in the night are quicker than the eye
That ain't love or affection
The dealer changed direction
Bets are high and i'm losing enough
Won't anybody play fair with my love
'cause it's hard not knowing
And my heart is showing
The king is out and the eagle flies
Don't you know the hand is quicker than the eye

Can i bank on your love


5.Some Things Are Better Left Unsaid

I feel like i could run away
Looking at a darker day
Oh i'm pulling the shades away from my eyes
It's true the moody manners come and go
And it's better that you never know

Some things are better left unsaid
Some strings are better left undone
Some hearts are better left unbroken
Some lives are better left untouched
Some lies are better off believed
Some words are better left unspoken

My ideas seem to frighten you
Are you really that afraid to move
Oh i guess that it's your right to reason
I'm still dealing with a force that's so strong
The force is stringing us along


6.Going Through The Motions

Automatic action
Follow my reflection
I see myself in watching you
Lock into a vision
Rising through the rhythm
Trance until the dance is through
Don't let emotion go the flow is all we know
And baby we're doing it all the way
A step into the night or move into the light

Lately we're going through the motions

How can we improve it
Ooh you match my movement
Cryptic choreography
Jump up come down together
No one does it better
Electric eccentricity
No, i don't wanna know how far we're gonna go
But baby we're doing it all the way
A step into the light a move into the night


7.Cold, Dark, And Yesterday

The sun beats down so slow
I feel my body heating up inside
I watch the danger zone
For signs of life but not a soul alive
Try every trick i know
To keep my temperature from blowing sky high
Check on the time to go
Lay my spirit down to fantasize
Disembark disconnect possibilities unknown
On the edge of a heading for heavy weather
I suspect i can tell i can feel it in my bones
All not well but you never know...
Cold dark and yesterday

Glamorama all around me
Friendly natives turning back to brown
I keep my shades well down
They cannot penetrate what can't be found
Feel the fever start to rise
Slip away in indiscreet disguise
How can a man survive when the weak meet the soft
And the heat blinds your eyes
Left to right up and down it's picture postcard time
Hear the sounds save the image in my mind
Cold dark and yesterday


8.All American Girl

Skin tight soul delight
Changing her life for another
She dreams magazines
Sees herself on the cover
Anything anytime anywhere
It's fitting in that matters
Faithfully she believes in the look he wants to know better

She knows what she wants
She's an all american girl
She knows what she needs
She's a sold american girl
She knows what she knows
She's an all american girl
She does what she does
She's an all american girl
Sold american

She's got a double bubble with a bossanova back
She's a real hot pepper and i like it like that
It's all right you don't have to change your way
You're all right i'm hoping the best part stays

She knows what she wants
She's an all american girl
She knows what she needs
She's a sold american girl
She knows what she knows
She's an all american girl
She does what she does
She's an all american girl
Sold american

Street smart close to the heart gotta be real
More than the clothes you wear
You know what you've got look to your heart
You carry your history there


9.Possession Obsession

You know there's something you need
Right here and now
To fill the space inside of yourself
Money love or power
When you want to have the number one first run anyone
You're crazy 'til you own them
You ought to know better than that
The more that you buy the less you get back
It's a case of possession obsession
Gimme gimme

The compulsion to count the percentage of time
Spent between two lovers
Can turn an hour into a crime
And all the good times suffer
Though you know it's only jealousy
You can't help but be
Haunted by your passion
Don't you know it's a matter of fact
The more that you take the less you give back
Just a taste of possession obsession
Brings a case of possession obsession
Gimme gimme
