The Motels Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.Total Control

Looking counter clockwise
Knowing what could happen
Any moment maybe you maybe even you

Steadfast collapse
Always certain any moment
Maybe you maybe you
Maybe even you
Recline complete dream too sweet
I can't do it not with you
Not even with you
Maybe never with you

And I'd sell my soul for
Total control
Yeah I'd sell my soul for
Total control

Street wet tonight, lovers touch
It's pure delight
Always certain any moment
Maybe even you
Stay in bed stained sheets
My head hurts I repeat
Maybe you maybe you maybe even you

And I'd sell my soul for
Total control
Yeah I'd sell my soul for
Total control
Ooh I'd sell my soul for
Total control over you
Over you
Total control over you


2.Remember the Nights

Lyricist:Martha Davis, Scott Troy Thurston

Fragrance of that long lost evening, tender moves that keep
repeating
Soft night's melody that I can't forget
Younger boy and helpless girl, passion of the other world
Strange old place from a nursery rhyme that I can't forget

I can't go back but I can't stay
Help me remember the nights with you

Street corner stands, in the shade, lanterns swing in the heat
of day
Old lady sings the song that I can't forget
Little girl that asked you who collects the flowers they give to
you
Her eyes, her dress, the sky, the blue that you can't forget

I can't go back but I can't stay
Help me remember the nights with you

I can't go back but I can't stay
Help me remember the nights with you

Long ago and far away, memory like a dream I stay in
The other place, the other time that I can't forget

I can't go back but I can't stay
Help me remember the nights
Remember the nights, remember the nights with you


3.Take the L

Lyricist:John Carter, Martha Davis, Marty Jourard

Watching my head, holding my face
One more evening gone to waste
No longer do I know my place

Killing time and missing my cues
Watching her belong to you
Tears could only change my view

Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over

Growing up has always been tough
Good intentions never good enough
I would take you far away
Do anything to make you stay

Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over

Every drink and cigarette
All those hands we never met
There are things we should forget
Now it's over, over

Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over

Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over

Take the L out of lover and it's over
Take the L out of lover and it's over


4.Shock (Album Version)

Lyricist:Martha Davis, Scott Troy Thurston

Escaping the anger
For one minute more
This time it's gone way too far

Desperate stranger
He frightens me so
His hold's too tight
Won't let go

I scream long and hard
Won't somebody help me
I scream out the words
Nobody can hear

I'm in shock
Got no feeling
I'm in shock
It's like I'm dreaming
I'm in shock
Ohh, stop the shock

Motionless movement
Now everything spins
Torched by time
It begins

My mind is aching
All memories blurred
Madness gives way
I give in

Pain seems far away
As though I were just watching
Daydreams interfere
I'm not really here

I'm in shock
Got no feeling
I'm in shock
It's like I'm dreaming
I'm in shock
Ohh, stop the shock

Fear slides away
I hear only one sound
My heart beats so loud
I can't think

I search your eyes
I see nothing but hate
I start to fade
Now I'm falling deep into shock

Tomorrow is hopeless
Impossible dream
Exhausted I lie here and wait
Strength has all left me
My heart feels weak
Miles away someone speaks

I scream
Pray they hear
Won't somebody help me
I scream
Someone's near
Get me out of here

I'm in shock
Got no feeling
I'm in shock
It's like I'm dreaming
I'm in shock
Ohh, stop the shock

I'm in shock
Can't stop shaking
I'm in shock
Just can't take it
I'm in shock
Ohh, stop the shock


5.Suddenly Last Summer

Lyricist:Martha Davis

It happened one summer
It happened one time
It happened forever
For a short time

A place for a moment
An end to dream
Forever I loved you
Forever it seemed

One summer never ends
One summer never began
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly last summer

Sometimes I never leave
But sometimes I would
Sometimes I stay too long
Sometimes I would

Sometimes it frightens me
Sometimes it would
Sometimes I'm all alone
And wish that I could

One summer never ends
One summer never begins
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly last summer
And then suddenly last summer

One summer never ends
One summer never begins
It keeps me standing still
It takes all my will
And then suddenly last summer

And then suddenly last summer
Until suddenly last summer

And then suddenly last summer
Until suddenly last summer
It happened suddenly last summer


6.Little Robbers

Little robbers on my mind
Little robbers gonna steal me blind
If I don't watch out

Little robbers on my block
Little robbers gonna pick my lock
If I don't watch out

Little robbers, do beware
Little robbers, they don't care
Little robbers are everywhere
Little robbers
Just sit there an' go yeah, yeah, yeah
They go yeah, yeah, yeah

Take my suitcase off my back
I put it down a second and it don't come back
Little robbers
Reach in the pocket to get some change
No change no pocket and no gold ring
Little robbers

Little robbers, do beware
Little robbers, they don't care
Little robbers are everywhere
Little robbers
Just sit there an' go yeah, yeah, yeah
They go yeah, yeah, yeah

Little robbers, do beware
Little robbers, they don't care
Little robbers are everywhere
Little robbers
Just sit there an' go yeah, yeah, yeah
They go yeah, yeah, yeah

Work so hard to get ahead
Maybe just give to them instead
Little robbers
Little robbers don't be that way
Little robbers you're gonna pay
Little robbers

Little robbers, do beware
Little robbers, they don't care
Little robbers are everywhere
Little robbers
Just sit there an' go yeah, yeah, yeah
They go yeah, yeah, yeah
They go yeah, yeah, yeah


7.Tables Turned

Broken by
The empty evening
Wondering when it will be
All right again
Waiting patiently
For the tables to turn

Watching you
Go through your moves
My hand is out
You leave me
Standing there helplessly
Until the tables turn

You ask for me, you call for me
I know how it feels
Don't you think I know
You can stand alone?

Just like I did
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned

The street is dark
But it's my best friend
Wait for the chance
To see you again
I'm waiting patiently
For the tables to turn

I could be wrong
But it might be right
I couldn't stand another night
Just waiting endlessly
For the tables too turn

You ask for me
You call for me
I know how it feels
Don't you think I know
You can stand alone?

Just like I did
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned

Turn pages in a book
Turn faces with a look
Turn moments back in time
To when you were mine

You ask for me
You call for me
I know how it feels
Don't you think I know
You can stand alone?

Just like I did
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned
Until the tables turned


8.Motels - Only The Lonely

We walked the loneliest mile
We smile without any style
We kiss altogether wrong
No intention

We lie about each other's drinks
We live without each other
Thinking what anyone would do
Without me and you

It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play

So hold on here we go
Hold on to nothin' we know
I feel so lonely way up here

You mention the time
We were together so long ago
Well, I don't remember all I know is
It makes me feel good now

It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play
Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play

Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play
It's like I told you
Only the lonely can play

Only the lonely
Only the lonely can play


9.Into The Heartland

Rita saw a deal on the TV
So me and her hopped on the R.T.D.
Drove it down to Colton on the weekend
Me I stole the Pontiac

I got sick of taking orders
Slinging hash and hearing them complain
I don't wanna smell that grill forever
So I took the Pontiac
An' drove it straight into the heartland

Rita's fingers fumblin' trying to roll one
My frozen fingers trying to find a cold one
Tonight we dine on the line and the lone one
As I gun this sucker straight into the heartland

Read about a guy down in Florida
He took a shotgun down to the hardware store
Blew ten people to the floor
'Cause the way they fixed his mower
Then headed out that night
Straight into the heartland

Rita's fingers fumblin' trying to roll one
My frozen fingers trying to find a cold one
Tonight we dine on the line and the lone one
As I gun this sucker straight into the heartland

They say Eddy boy you're wanted
But not for running lights this time
You don't need the gun
To hear the sound of your own name

Rita's fingers fumblin' trying to roll one
My frozen fingers trying to find a cold one
Tonight we dine on the line and the lone one
As I gun this sucker straight into the heartland

I'm gonna gun this sucker straight into the heartland
I'm gonna gun this sucker straight into the heartland
