Van Hunt Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.The Lowest 1 Of My Desires

Lyricist:Van Hunt

The first sign of weakness
Was when you walked by and I undressed
You only with my mind
But still a sign of trouble

The last gasp of greatness
Came when I knew I'd trade everything for this
Throw diamonds at your feet
Crawl on my hands and knees

The lowest 1 of my desires
Is the only one I need
The lowest 1 of my desires
Stays with me until it's pleased

I wanna fuck you, baby
I wanna touch and rub all over you, baby

The dying light in the east
Gives rise to my least
Now all the lines are blurred
You've got all power

The lowest 1 of my desires
Is the only one I need
The lowest 1 of my desires
Stays with me until it's pleased

I wanna fuck you good, baby
I wanna love like we never, ever should, baby

Jump on the ground and wrestle with my shame
Because I don't wanna hide behind anything
Now that I see the subtleties
Ends justify the means in seasons of need

I wanna fuck you, baby
I wanna climb inside and breathe with you, baby

I wanna fuck you, baby
I wanna love like we never, ever should, baby


2.Seconds of Pleasure

Lyricist:Van Hunt

Ooh, girl it's what you say between a phrase
It's written in your face
It's rain against a windowpane
The sound it makes
It's dreamin' the day away

It's the shine of a precious pearl
Light of the world
Smile of our baby girl
Smile of our baby girl

It's finding a moment
For a thought so pure
It's a walk along the shore

I hold on to the feeling
'Cause I don't know when I will feel it again
I've become amused by the little things
Seconds of pleasure

Seconds of pleasure
Life's little treasures, baby
Seconds of pleasure
Life's little treasures

Ooh, girl, it's small talk, a touch so soft
It's watchin' you walk
Ooh, it's the taste, the taste, the taste
Of a sour pop, a lemon drop
Last one in the box

It's a kiss in the mornin' sun
A few minutes of fun
Before you have to run
Before you have to run
It's all of the little things that you've done
To ease my burden and my confusion

See, I hold on to the feeling
'Cause I don't know when I will feel it again
I've become amused by the little things
Seconds of pleasure

Seconds of pleasure
Life's little treasures
Seconds of pleasure
Life's little treasures
Seconds of pleasure
Life's little treasures
Seconds of pleasure


3.Who Will Love Me in Winter

Lyricist:Van Hunt

Send up a smile for me, baby
I say to the rising flame
A dynamic woe blows in with the cold
And brings back the loneliness again

Your voice, it haunts my nature
With the words that I used to make you bleed
With one hand and my imagination
I thought I'd never need for anything

But my spaceship crashed against the wall
My neighbour's grass ain't so green after all
I wouldn't have a second thought about the fall
But I'm wondering who will love me in winter

Delusions of grandeur
Misled my adventurous spirit
Love of the unknown rose like a stone
Above my contentment

The autumn leaves fall from the trees
And hold me captive with a dance in the air
And I know with the passing of these
I must find love from somewhere

Spaceship crashed against the wall
My neighbour's grass ain't so green after all
I wouldn't have a second thought about the fall
But I'm wondering who will love me in winter
I wouldn't have a thought about the fall
But I'm wondering who will love me in winter

Spaceship crashed against the wall
My neighbour's grass ain't so green after all
I wouldn't have a second thought about the fall
But I'm wondering who will love me in winter

Spaceship crashed against the wall
My neighbour's grass ain't so green after all
I wouldn't have a second thought about the fall
But I'm wondering who will love me in winter


4.Highlights

Lyricist:Van Hunt

The only thing you ever wanted to be was a movie star
The only role you ever wanted to play is the person you are,
are, are
You made a cameo appearance in the backseat of my mother's car
But I didn't know that it was to be a very small part
And it hit me kind of hard

Baby, did I mean anything to you, did I just play the fool?
In my heart I guess I always knew you had more to prove
Did I mean anything to you, how much acting did you do, tell me?
In my heart I guess I always knew
I'd never be more than one among a few

Highlights, highlights, highlights
A scene from your life
Highlights, highlights, highlights
Just a good time

Old lovers turned critics curse at you on the silver screen
You tell 'em, 'I don't give a damn what you say
Long as you're talkin' 'bout me'
All the pretty girls around you cloud your sexuality
We've only been apart for less than a week
But you make leaving me look easy

Did I mean anything to you, did I just play the fool?
In my heart I guess I always knew you had more to prove
Did I mean anything to you, how much acting did you do, tell me?
In my heart I guess I always knew
I'd never be more than one among a few

Highlights, highlights, highlights
A scene from your life
Highlights, highlights, highlights
Just a good time

Hey, hey, hey
Your life
Hey, hey, hey
Good time

Years spent fuckin' your sister for your father's affection
Left you confused and your performance lacks direction
So many unanswered questions

Did I mean anything to you, did I just play the fool?
In my heart I guess I always knew you had more to prove, yes I
mean
Did I mean anything to you, how much acting did you do, tell me?
In my heart I guess I always knew
I'd never be more than one among a few

Highlights, highlights, highlights
A scene from your life
Highlights, highlights, highlights
Just a good time

Oh I'm missing you baby
Did I mean anything to you?
Missing you baby, missing you, baby missing you
I'm missing you, oh yeah, you baby, you baby oh yeah

Good time
Missing you, baby
Missing you, baby


5.Hello, Goodbye

Lyricist:Van Hunt, Curtis Whitehead

You won't stay and you won't go
Love shouldn't be so complicated
You won't say yes, you won't say no
Yellow lights you've contemplated

Tell me when will you decide baby if it's you and I
Just can't keep me on the side forever
You think that our love is strong but I just can't keep hanging
on
What you going to do when tomorrow gone forever, forever

You keep running in and out of my life
Hello goodbye, hey hey hey hey

You don't laugh and you don't cry
Love can't live without emotion
You don't reveal and you don't hide
Wearing your disguise out in the open

Tell me when will you decide baby if it's you and I
Just can't keep me on the side forever
You think that our love is strong but I just can't keep hanging
on
What you going to do when tomorrow gone forever, forever

You keep running in and out of my mind
Hello goodbye
You keep running in and out of my mind
Hello goodbye

You're so hot and you're so cold
Love is here and then love leaves
And you switch so fast I don't know
If my head can handle the speed, tell me when

Tell me when will you decide baby if it's you and I
Just can't keep me on the side forever
You think that our love is strong but I just can't keep hanging
on
What you going to do when tomorrow gone forever
Tell me when will you decide baby if it's you and I
Just can't keep me on the side forever, forever

You keep running in and out of my mind
Hello goodbye
You keep running in and out of my life
Hello goodbye

You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye
You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye
You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye
You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye

You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye
You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye
You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye
You keep and you go, hello, hello goodbye

Tell me when will you decide baby if it's you and I
Just can't keep me on the side forever


6.Anything (To Get Your Attention)

Lyricist:Van Hunt, Curtis Whitehead

Anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention

You don't come when I call
You act as if I don't, don't exist at all
I think there must be some, some trick to it
Some kinda, some kind of slick gimmick

I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
Anything to get your attention

Paint my face on your bedroom wall
I'll carve my name up and down the hall
There's just no way I can do without
Your love, baby, so don't tune me out

Anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
Anything to get your attention

I know I should be patient
I can't just take no waiting
Ambition is raging through my body

My pride ain't worth saving
So, on every occasion
I'll be a fool for you, anything
Ooh, baby, baby, baby, baby, please

I'll do anything to get your attention
See, I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention
I'll do anything to get your attention

Everyday, I'll be dreaming of ways
To get your attention
I'll do anything


7.Turn My TV On

Lyricist:Drake Hunt, Van Hunt

Ooh, I'm, ooh, I'm so scared
People outside, people outside make me scared
So, I stay in my room, in my underwear

When I, when I long for company
I pop in my, pop in my pornography
'Cause that's real love, real love made for TV

Shoot to thrill you, baby
Shoot to thrill you, baby

Everyone loves a stranger
Nobody wants the danger
That's why I turn my TV on
I turn my TV on, I turn my TV on
I just turn my TV on, I turn my TV on
I turn my TV on, turn my TV on

Ooh, I, ooh, I hate drama
People outside, people outside, they love drama
Raining down bombs on English summers

When I long to feel a part of it
I tune in my favorite channel 36
Travel 'round the world in less than 30 minutes

Shoot to kill you, baby
Shoot to kill you, baby

Turn my TV on
When it's cold outside, turn my TV on
Turn my TV on
All my troubles go

Everyone loves a stranger
Nobody wants the danger
That's why I turn my TV on
I turn my TV on, I turn my TV on
I just turn my TV on, I turn my TV on
I turn my TV on, turn my TV on

Baby, I'd love to see you
But the maneuver is just too risky in the rain
Is this my rescue boat?
I've been out here 5 days

Somebody bring me some water
I just need some water
Like most things
A good time looks better from a distance

What do you mean, baby?
I'm making friends in the new world
I'm a celebrity on the message boards
I meet people every day
Through the peephole in my front door


8.Precious

Lyricist:Van Hunt

Tonight you have no worries with me here
My time, my time is as free as your tears
Let them rise with the wind and fall on me tonight
You have no worries, no worries tonight

Remember the woman who locked herself into a lonely room
'Cause she, she thought that she had no one
To make her feel like nothing less than a precious jewel

But you know that you are precious as the morning sun
You know that you are precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me

You, you are the one I bet my love on
For my faith, for my faith I have nothing to show
But a wonderful taste in my mouth from loving you, from loving
you

Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me

Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me

Remember the man who selfishly gave to a chosen few
'Cause he, he thought the world owed him something too
Make him feel like something more than a simple ol' fool

You made me feel precious as the morning sun
You said that I was precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one most precious to me

Precious as the morning sun
Precious as the deep blue sea
Baby, you know you're the one

Precious to me
Precious to me
Precious to me
...


9.Character (Acoustic)

Lyricist:Van Hunt

Faces have trouble smiling
When it's less than a merry affair
When you communicate through the writing on the wall
There's no love for you there

You wanted to draw a picture
But your relationship could never hold a pose
You're left with a roomful of sketches
That only hint at the love you wanted to know

Let it out, let it go
Hold back the tears no longer
Let them fall on the floor
Not on your will to be stronger

Who are you
In the face of disappointment?
Where is your character
The one who keeps you going?
The one who keeps you going

Caught you by surprise
How time changes people and places
Would you guard over your ruins like you're doing
If you knew your first kiss was your greatest?

Let it out, let it go
Hold back the tears no longer, listen
When you work too hard to get along
Maybe it's time you moved on

Who are you
When heavy weather is blowing?
Where is your character
The one who keeps you going?

Who are you
When heavy weather is blowing?
Where is your character, baby
The one who keeps you going, going?

The one who keeps you going, going
The one who keeps you going, going
And going, and going, going


10.The Night Is Young (Acoustic)

Lyricist:Van Hunt, Curtis Whitehead

I hear the calamity of young ideas
Gatherin' around the edge of my ears
And we're waitin' for the bell to end the afternoon
And usher in the evening, yeah

The night is young
We've only just begun
Grab a friend, jump on in
Run from the end till it comes

The mirror has changed my shape
Tomorrow used to be so kind and so far away
Now it's clear when I touch my face
The unmistakable feel of slippin' away

The night is young
We've only just begun
Grab a friend, jump on in
Run from the end till it comes

My past is bigger and brighter than my future
But the struggle is all the same
I fight to mean somethin' in this life I live

Don't they know I'm still here
Pushin' against the atmosphere
The best of things haven't been shared yet
It just can't be over yet, over yet

(Can they hear me screamin'?)
The night is young
We've only just begun
(Can they hear me screamin'?)
Grab a friend, jump on in
Run from the end till it comes

(Hear me screamin')
The night is young
We've only just begun
(Hear me screamin')
Grab a friend, jump on in
Run from the end till it comes


11.Down Here in Hell (With You)

Lyricist:Van Hunt

I really love it when
I love it when we make mistakes
Because once again
It gives me a reason to complain

I love the battle lines
The battle lines we draw when crossin' the mud
Ooh, I love it when we fight
Standin' on the verge of breakin' up or makin' love

What would I do if we were perfect?
Where would I go for disappointment?
Love without pain would leave me
Wonderin' why I stay?

I think of savin' myself
But with nothin' to complain about up in Heaven
What would I do?
I think of savin' myself
But I really wanna work it out
Down here in Hell with you

Magic carpet ride
It don't have to last forever
I know we shouldn't fly so high
But the closer to the sun we go, the better

See, I wanna make you feel the fire
Wanna burn you with my bad days
Ooh, I wanna be unsatisfied
So you can feel the heat comin' from me, baby

What would I do if we were perfect?
Where would I go for disappointment?
Words without hate would leave me nothin' left to say

And I think of savin' myself
But with nothin' to complain about up in Heaven
What would I do?
I think of savin' myself
But I really wanna work it out
Down here in Hell with you

I think of savin' myself
But with nothin' to complain about up in Heaven
I think of savin' myself
But I really wanna work it out
Down here in Hell

Think of savin' myself
But with nothin' to complain about up in Heaven
I think of savin' myself
But I really wanna work it out
Down here in Hell with you

Down here in Hell with you
Down here in Hell with you
Down here in Hell with you
Down here in Hell with you
Down here in Hell with you
Down here in Hell with you


12.Hold My Hand

Lyricist:Van Hunt, Curtis Whitehead

You look at me from every angle, follow my every move
From the bed to the door
And what you see could mean a million things, too early to
assume
I'm the one you've been waitin' for

Hold my hand
Something you don't have to understand
For you to do

Hold my hand
C'mon lover, get under my skin
It'll all make sense to you

Day and night, you watch me from your hiding place and won't
tell
Anyone else about us
Footsteps in the shadows reveal secrets of a young male
Fresh from love's shell and curious

Hold my

Hold my hand
Something you don't have to understand
For you to do

Hold my hand
C'mon lover, get under my skin
It'll all make sense to you

Love won't sit still long enough for you to take a picture
Of the bitter and the sweet
Roll it up and wonder what it's like to be the victor
Or to taste the defeat

Hold my hand
Something you don't have to understand
For you to do

Hold my hand
C'mon lover, get under my skin
It'll all make sense to you

Ooh lady, why you hidin' from me?
Ooh lady, why you hidin' from me?

Have to understand
Hold my hand
Get under my skin


13.Dust

Lyricist:Van Hunt

It's just another day another episode
Of hiding under the world
It's just another ray of merciful hope
I don't expect many more

I'm already insane
I'm already in pain

And if this time you don't rescue me
I won't blame you at all
'Cause you see, I know that I've gone in too deep
For you to risk a fall

I'm already insane
Yes, I am
I'm already in pain
Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes
I'm already insane

I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown over the edge

Never thought that I would be the one
With the winning hand
So you see, it's no blow to my sophistication
That I've gone crazy again

I'm already insane
(Yes, I am)
I'm already in pain
(Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
I'm already insane

I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown over the edge

I'm already insane
(Hey baby)
I'm already in so much pain
(Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes)
I'm already insane
Yeah

I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge
I am dust blown away over the edge

I'm already insane
I'm already in pain
I'm already insane


14.What Can I Say (For Millicent)

Lyricist:Van Hunt

She sleeps with the moonlight under her head
And the stars to keep her warm
Far from the noise and the world below
She comes to me in my dreams like a love song
And I awake only to hear her go

Somewhere along the way I lost the melody
And I don't want the birds to sing, sing it to me

'Cause I love to hate the feeling
Don't wanna deal with the morning after
What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep your love around me?

She walks with me on frozen stone, ever so lightly
And I pray to hear what she'll say
She turns to me with her face all aglow
And it's overwhelming
And I awake to a brand new day

Somewhere along the way I lost all of my hope
And I don't want the brand new day to bring it to my window

'Cause I love to hate the feeling
Don't wanna deal with the morning after
What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep your love around me?

Around me
Around me
Around me

Somewhere along the way I lost the melody
And I don't want the birds to sing, sing it to me

'Cause I love to hate the feeling
Don't wanna deal with the morning after
Love to hate the feeling
Don't wanna deal with the morning after
Love to hate the feeling
Don't wanna deal with the morning after

What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep your love around?
What can I say to keep it down?
What can I say to keep your love around me?


15.Your Love

Lyricist:Brandon Carter, Millicent Hunt, Van Hunt

Your love, your love is amazing
One touch takes me a thousand places
Your love, your love is the greatest drug
I've ever known, makes me go crazy

Girl come on, tell me that you're free
To be with me tonight
It's been so long and I can't
Without you in my life

Your love, your love is amazing
One touch takes me a thousand places
Your love, your love is the greatest drug
I've ever known, makes me go crazy

Don't make me wait not one-second
Girl, I'm begging for your tenderness
Face to face, your lips on my lips
Girl, I must confess you're the greatest

Your love, your love is amazing
One touch takes me a thousand places
Your love, your love is the greatest drug
I've ever known, makes me go crazy

Music playing nice and slow, I can hear you, my dear
When we're dancing so close whisper in my ear
Music playing nice and slow, I can hear you my dear
When we're dancing so close, whisper in my ear

Your love, your love, your love
Your love, your love is amazing
One touch takes me a thousand places
Your love, your love is the greatest drug
I've ever known, makes me go crazy


16.Being A Girl

Lyricist:Van Hunt

Every once in awhile
You meet a child that drives you wild
With unmistakable
Down-town, style

Her winter coat and sexy tokes
On camel smokes
Don't prepare you
For a laugh that explodes

A princess and a mistress
Dressed in Sunday best
To impress a fresh love, interest

To set the stage
Receive her praise
And leave a sour taste
That only gets sweeter as it fades

She just can't help being a girl
She just can't help being a girl
She just can't help herself
Full of spectacle and charm like nothing else
Being a girl

At the initial glance
She's making plans to build her a man
Like a T-4 or an airplane
The girl wants a model romance

Fell in love
While taming her new adventurer
'Cause every rebel
Needs a woman's touch
(Woman's touch)

The fact is she's an actress
Using the bedroom for practice
Making him think
His kiss is all she ever imagines

With a pocketful of rocket fuel
Dragging strings that pull
On a heart, that's uncertain
But beautiful

She just can't help being a girl
She just can't help being a girl
She just can't help herself
Full of spectacle and charm like nothing else
Being a girl


17.Ride, Ride, Ride

Lyricist:Van Hunt, Curtis Whitehead

Dead girl's dance, they burn and twirl
Witch hunt, witch cunt, burn this girl
Dead girl's dance they burn and twirl
Witch hunt, witch cunt, burn this girl
Dead girl's dance they burn

I'm running out of air
There's a carnival in the graveyard tonight
With the clouds that fall with poison
And they fall on my skin making tiny holes
Erasing my legacy

Nothing hurts, nothings right
I am nothing turning to the left
I get on a ride and the ride's dark
And drive Nazi cars

And I am no longer afraid
Because I've held on so tight
That I've crushed them
I've crushed them, it covers me

And I try to find comfort in the darkness
Where I am no longer your misanthropic majesty
With only one match and one chance to burn
Only one

I'm burning
I'm fucking burning

Dead girl's dance they burn they twirl
Witch hunt, witch cunt, burn this girl


18.Ur Personal Army

When love and war
Take prisoner of the soldier in you
When your desire's under fire

(Just call on me, call on me)
(I'm your personal army)
Baby, I'll be there
(Just call on me)

Call
(I'll be your personal army)
Your antidote for despair

When you'll burn bridges fall in trenches
To protect your happiness
Now your airplane's grounded
Troops surrounded

(Just call on me, call on me)
(I'm your personal army)
Baby, I'll be there
(Just call on me)

Call
(I'll be your personal army)
Your antidote for despair

When love and war
Has captured your sense of humor
I'm like the night with my charm
And my wit, baby

(Just call on me, call on me)
(I'm your personal army)
Baby, I'll be there
(Just call on me)

Ooh
(I'll be your personal army)
Personal army, baby
Your antidote for despair

(Just call on me, call on me)
(I'm your personal army)
Baby, yeah
(Just call on me)

Call on me
(I'll be your personal army)
Personal army, baby
Antidote for despair
