Stand Up For Your Mother

Young And Sexy Stand Up For Your Mother Lyrics
1.Stand Up For Your Mother

Where's your life, dear?
Has it gone AWOL?
Oh, I see
You never bothered to enlist
Where's your mind now?
Not even listening, not even awake
Oh, have you ever been?

It's your choice
To live or to suffer
Where's your voice?
You never call your brother

Now your guns are drawn
Have you been waiting to take me out?
To stick one in my back?
Well put your phasers down, girl
The hour is growing cold
Oh, so cold
The lights are out on the bridge tonight
The streets are lonely and awful
I don't expect to change your mind

And empty all words are all I hear, it's all we seem to be
Just pin them down and make a break from everything we know
Everything we know

It's your choice
To live or to suffer
Where's your voice?


2.Chikubi

There's no need to be
Shy or sad or coy with me
There's no need to be
Anything but young and sexy...


3.The City You Live In Is Ugly

you wake before the sunrise
and at five am you get on the bus
people look so resigned to the daily grind
and you swear it'll never be you
you said that you were new in town
no friends around no family to speak of
everyone you met out here was just full of fear
with no time for dreams or schemes
and as you're walking down the street what do you see?
well there's cars, and strip malls
and little black houses what do they mean?

the city you live in is ugly
the city you live in is ugly
but it wasn't meant to be
no it wasn't meant to be

they covered up the Bomax sign
with toys r us you didn't make a fuss
but now you're regretting it and forgetting it
and you dont drive by there much

you're working on broadway,
the early shift in a new cafe
lately you've been pawning bills just for the thrills
and you boss hasnt noticed a thing

and you're feeling very lost in the world today
there's no use for you're here
and here's just the same as anywhere

the city you live in is ugly
the city you live in is ugly
but it wasn't meant to be
no it wasn't meant to be


4.Silent Film Star

Realize the change in her air
Notice that she was not there
But then I felt her stare

Stand, don't fall
Chet told me the thrill was gone
But maybe he's no good after all
And maybe he don't love me a bit
Sometimes when
The moment strikes me I say
'I need you in every which way'
I wish that you could hear what I say

Silent film star
Travels 'round the world
Changing hardware
As he loses worth


5.Lies, Ties And Battlefields

Lies, ties and battlefields
And empty pockets that make you feel
the loss, but you left there long ago

Who's the fool in your bed?
Is it you, or is it him?
Well, I don't expect you'll find out soon

'Cause I'm not sad
I'm good in bed
And I'll stay well fed in the morning
'Cause I'm not sad
I'm good in bed
And I'll stay in the morning
In the morning

Bare shoulder on the back
Of a package left unwrapped
Well, I'm not some godlike figurine

You bowl me over and blow the whole thing off
Well, I just got my hands on this one
I just got my hands on this one

'Cause I'm not sad
I'm good in bed
And I'll stay well fed in the morning
'Cause I'm not sad
I'm good in bed
And I'll stay in the morning

Light shines on your TV set as I
Wipe the freckles
From your face

8.Car Bought For A Son

Car
Bought for a son
By an old man
Who's bitter and lonely

Oh yeah
Out in the empty lies
I won't say, I don't need to say
That I ever loved you, anyway

Hands
Up in the air
Driving so fast
'Cause I'm feelin' restless

Oh yeah
Out in the empty lies
I won't say, I don't need to say
That I ever loved you anyway

11.Take What You Got

Well, take what you got
And give it a shot
I'm no good at lying
At least that's what I thought
And what does it mean to you, child?
You're so very young, you're empty inside my mind
Well not much is so much more than I could ever know

I'm out of my room
And I'm out of my head
And I'm leaving for good now
At least that's what I said
And all of the things you know, dear
You're taking 'em back
You're watching 'em grow, girl, grow
Well, not much is more than I could ever say

And what does it mean to you, child?
You're so very young, you're empty inside my mind
Well not much is so much more than I could ever know
