1.The Screams Of Passion

Lyricist:Prince Rogers Nelson

Whoa no, whoa yeah
(Woo, oh)
Whoa no, whoa no, yeah yeah, yeah yeah

There's a gentle autumn breeze that blows
Whenever we be lyin', lyin' in my bed
The moon appears and disappears, you look at me
My clothes I quickly, I quickly shed

The curtains dance a minuet
Autumn plays the music, baby
Come on, hold my hand
Leaves are fallin' velvet splash

Only you and I can under, only you can understand
The sunlight draws a picture through the silky lace
That hangs above your, hangs above your door
A picture that is waving that it seems
To be with every thrust you make me beg for more

Oh, a robin sings a masterpiece
That lives and dies unheard
For screams of passion
A sound produced by to in love
Curtains dance and autumn plays on
(Oh, to in love, on and on)

The screams of passion
All I hear in my head echoing like a volcano, baby
The screams of passion
Back and forth the raging seas of lust, I want you madly
Can't you tell, can't you tell, can't you tell, can't you tell?
Oww

Take me in your arms, oh baby
The crime is done, I'd rather die here in your
Screams of passion, whoa, hold me now, baby
Tell me that you love me
Is it Sunday or is it passion?

Love, love
(The screams of passion)
The screams of passion, yeah, yeah, love
The screams of, the screams of
The screams of passion, passion
Hand me that love

Yeah
(Shh, not so loud baby)
Yeah
(Shh, shh)
The screams of passion
The screams of passion

Oh, oh, oh, the screams of passion
Ooh, the screams of, the screams of
The screams of passion, the screams of passion
Back and forth the raging seas of lust

Raging, raging
(The screams of passion)
You know I want you madly, baby
Why can't you tell? Oww
Is is it Sunday?
(Ooh love, ooh love)

I thought I heard a church bell
(Or was it passion, passion?)
Yeah, yeah
(Ooh)
Passion, the screams of passion

What did you say, baby?
Excuse me but is that your passion?
Do you want my passion?
Uh, do you want my passion?

If you want my love, if you want my body, baby
Let me hear ya, let me hear ya, let
Uh, let me hear ya scream, I want some passion

Ooh, you know what I'm talkin' about baby?
Ooh, I want some passion
You got that baby? I want some passion, passion, mmm


2.Larf & Sing

Lyricist:John Michael Palmer

Love begins to write a book across my face
The stories that are me, the views I hold
For years our love began to turn into a race
And I resign myself to growing old

That's why we all larf and sing
Whenever we all feel new
You should see the way we grin
Whenever you'll feel it, too
Love, oh mother life, she's the only kin we got

Everything about me has a poker face
A purposeless existence overgrown
Whoever would've thought amongst our mighty race
A mind can feel so terribly alone

Losing sometimes means you win
If you live the truth you're thru'
You will always find us in
If you keep the seed in view

Drink, oh mother life, she's the only kin we got

Love begins to write a book across my face
The stories that are me, the views I hold
For years our love began to turn into a race
And I resign myself to growing old

That's why we all larf and sing
Whenever we all feel new
You should see the way we grin
Whenever you'll feel it, too
Love, oh mother life, she's the only kin we got


3.Blind

Blind boy although you wish you could see
I've often thought if you could be me
Have eyes to see pictures of people in pain
And it looks like I'll see them again, again

Deaf man although you sure want to hear
Would you turn your ears to shots that are near?
Sounds of a city in near civil war
And it seems like you'd hear it some more

And here we sit now with nothing to do
Just give out a song and hope it rings true
To those not so deaf but lead us so blind
May it soon be approaching their time, time


4.Take Your Partners

God knows I'm hip
But I ain't yours or his
Everybody's arse is up for kicks

Every critic thinks he's cool
Man and word a criss cross jewel
But me I got my own little rules

One for you, one for me
I know it don't come easily
But when it does then we'll agree

Take your partners, what for?
Ain't you just kicked in the door
How come I don't believe you any more?

Here boy, have a snake
That's where you're sleeping and 'til wake
But don't strut me and my way

God knows I'm hip
But I ain't yours or his
Everybody's arse is up for kicks


5.Sat'd'y Barfly

Well, I was downtown cruisin' in my low slung cat
Diamond pin and a funky hat
Mohair suit and new white spats

Spot a juke joint blastin' and I cut my boost
Well, it's Saturday night and I'm hanging loose
I'm looking out to cut my juice

Well, I swing those doors and I bust right in
I see Louise there and I just grin
Unroll my hip, and shout, hey, gimme a gin

The band's still wailin' and it's 4 a.m
Me and Louise we're just hangin' on in
We're drinkin' wine now, they ran out of gin

We're drunk as hell but we're feeling fine
If we leave now then we'll just have time
Where we goin' Louise, your place or mine?

Hoo, Saturday night
What's that Louise? What's that in sight?
Little old Mustang
Now we're gonna pass on the right

Hey Mustang, we gotta wait all night for you
We gotta wait all night for you
Woah Louise, Saturday night's gonna do

Move a little closer
Get up, get up and tighten up
Leave it out, Louise, leave it out


6.Between Blue & Me

Road maps revive an old story showing the distance from you
Look to the sea between blue and me and it's you
And though there are words we're exchanging
When will I see you again?
It's been a year since you were here my friend

Waves of emotion, sea of joy
Times of sadness and one small boy
Empty harbor, ship set sail
I'm home to nothing 'cept a siren's wail

His father's a sailor and a traveling man
Yes, he left this morning with a shake of the hand
His mother's a lady who forgets she's a wife
And she's making sure on a different score of life

Waves of emotion, sea of joy
Times of sadness and one small boy
Empty harbor, ship set sail
I'm home to nothing 'cept a siren's wail

His father's a sailor and a traveling man
Yes he left this morning for a faraway land
His mother's a lady who forgets she's a wife
Yes, she's making sure on a different score of life

Look to the sea between blue and me and it's you


7.Spanish Tide

Slowly watch the tide turn
Far too late then we learn
There are only stars that are burning

Then quietly the room folds into two
As mirror and window hold the view
Bright on all sides, holding the eye
Leaving, you stand on Spanish Tide

Here it begins, leading me on

Destiny will show soon
As arrows start to fly
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken as you cry

Services demanded
For who puts claim to some
A million stars to ask for
Could only think of one

Now it's for real, taking me down

Slowly watch the tide turn
Circle years, we could learn
There are only stars that are burning


8.Save Some For Thee

Took my life slower
So as not to fall over, no
There's living for free
I'm going to save some for thee
I'm going to save some for thee

Each day I try harder
To say what I'm thinking, yeah
I know as the time slips away
I say more each coming day
With much more to say

The slower I take it
The easier it gets me, yeah
There's living for free
I'm going to save some for thee
I'm going to save some for thee

As much as I carry
Is as much as I'm giving
You see, not much for some
But a great deal for me

The slower I take it
The easier it gets me, yeah
There's living for free
I'm going to save some for thee
I'm going to save some for thee


9.Burning Bridges

Visions they're dancing like puppets on strings
Wait for the face in the choir to sing
Cymbals and symbols you clang in my ear
While rainclouds burst out into tears

Burning your bridges on God's Holy Fire
And all of the children you sire

Over and over my blues start to roll
Bypass my body, head straight for my soul
While speeches ain't silent and silence ain't gold
When left in the dirt there to mold

Burning your bridges on God's holy fire
And all of, all of the children you sire

Rainwater preachers hang vines on the road
Lamplight reflections all turned into stone
Of tall handsome strangers who pray down their nose
And they're nailed to the cross, I suppose

Burning your bridges on God's holy fire
And all the children you sire


10.In My Own Time

Lay down easy, stars in my eyes
Try not telling too many lies
Wake up feeling, not foolish or wise
And life goes with me, no matter what size

Now some seek Jesus, of flags they can wave
Won't touch nothing, unless it's been saved
But I say your neighbor deserves much more faith
And answer to yourself when you misbehave

You may think I'm wasting my time
Think what you think, you know I don't mind
But if I don't pick up what you choose to find

I'll be with you in my own time
I'll be with you in my own time

Mine is my freedom you take, I'll defy
Laugh till I'm tired, sing till I cry
'Cause life is a moment you pass with a sigh
Never comes back, sure as yesterday's by

I'll be with you in my own time
I'll be with you in my own time
