Revenge Lyrics

well i was born an original sinner

i was born from original sin

and if i had a dollar bill for all the things i’ve done

there’d be a mountain of money piled up to my chin

my mother told me good

my mother told me strong

she said be true to yourself

and you can’t go wrong

but there’s just one thing

that you must understand

you can fool with your brother

but don’t mess with a missionary man

don’t mess with a missionary man

oh the missionary man he’s got god on his side

he’s got the saints and apostles backin’ up from behind

black eyed looks from those bible books

he’s a man with a mission got a serious mind

there was a woman in the jungle

and a monkey on a tree

the missionary man he was followin’ me

he said stop what your doing

get down upon your knees

i’ve a message for you

that you better believe

you gave me such a bad time

you tried to hurt me but now i know

thorn in my side

you know that’s all you ever were

a bundle of lies

you know that’s all that is was worth

i should have known better

but i trusted you at first

i should have known better

but i got what i deserved

to run away from you

was all that i could do

thorn in my side

you know that’s all you’ll ever be

so don’t think you know better

cause that’s what you mean to me

i was feeling complicated

i was feeling low

now everytime i think of you

i shiver to the bone

underneath your dreamlit eyes

shades of sleep have driven you away

the moon is pale outside

and you are far from here

breathing shifts your careless head

untroubled by the chaos of our lives

another day, another night

has taken you again my dear

and you know that i’m gonna be the one

who’ll be there when you need someone to depend on

when tomorrow comes

wait till tomorrow comes,

yea, yea

last night while you where lying in my arms

and i was wondering where you were

you know you looked just like a baby

fast asleep in this dangerous world

every star was shining brightly

just like a million years before

and we were feeling very small

underneath the universe

i can’t wait

i can’t wait

till tomorrow comes baby

when tomorrow comes

i wanna be with you

when tomorrow comes

Well the first time that I saw you

You were standing in the rain.

You were waiting at the station

For the last connecting train.

Well – who will you go to

When there’s no-one to betray?

And I said – who will you go to

When your best friend turns away?

Hey hey…

Last time you’re gonna let me down.

Last time you’re gonna

Fool around with me…

There’s a garden full of roses,

There’s a necklace full of pearls.

You have come to take the roses

To give to other girls.

Well – I am just a pretty thing

You wanted for a day.

There is nothing left between us

There is nothing left to say…

Hey hey…

People like you

Can be so mean.

People like you

Just don’t come clean.

(Chorus repeats…)

how many sorrows do you try to hide

in a world of illusion that’s covering you mind

i’ll show you something good

oh i’ll show you something good

when you open your mind

you’ll discover the sign

that there’s something

you’re longing to find

the miracle of love will take away your pain

when the miracle of love comes your way again

cruel is the night that covers up your fears

tender is the one that wipes away your tears

there must be a bitter breeze

to make you sting so viciously

they say the greatest coward

can hurt the most ferociously

but i’ll show you something good

oh i’ll show you something good

if you open your heart

you can make a new start

when your crumbling world falls apart

must take a miracle in this heartless world

people try to hurt you

try to hurt you if they could

and it must take a miracle

He was the kinda guy

I liked the way he looked.

He had a red silk tie –

He had a forties suit.

And I said – “You’re the kind of person

I’ve been longing to adore.”

“You’re the kind of person

I’ve been waiting for.”

He said – “The time is right to take a chance

‘Cause I’m looking for a brand new romance.”

“So come on baby let’s go outside –

I’ve got a car in the drive and we can take a ride.”

“So let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”

“Let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”

Well – we went driving for an hour or so

Till we took the little Chevy down to Mexico.

And I said – “Blue eyed boy, you know I love the way you look.”

“Why don’t we find a preacher

Who can get us hooked?”`

“You know the time is right to take a chance

‘Cause I’m looking for a brand new romance.”

And the great big moon

Was a shinin’ down

He said “Forget about the preacher man,

Let’s do it on the ground!”

“Let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”

“Let’s go – I wanna fall in love ooh hoo.”

If I could find a way

To soothe your troubled mind

Then I would erase your fears

And help you to unwind.

I would ease the burden

That you carry everyday.

Oh – don’t you know I’d find a cure

And take your pain away.

Take your pain away

Take your pain away…

And even though you’re far from here

Don’t forget I’m always near.

Find comfort in these words I send

In this cold world.

Take your pain away

Take your pain away…

For every aching heart

For every broken soul…

So give up your worries

They’ll only do you harm.

There is no need to be concerned

It’s just a false alarm.

(Chorus repeats…)

There used to be a time

I wore my heart upon the sleeve.

There used to be a time

I’d show my gentle side to anyone

Through these years of wandering

I know I’ve been deceived.

Through these years of wandering…

And everytime you try to hurt me

You know you’ll only hurt yourself.

And everytime you try to hurt me

I know you’ll be the one to suffer

When you think you’re hurting someone.

A little of you – a little of me –

A little of you –

Is hurting someone –

Don’t tell me I’m the only one

‘Cause I don’t need that space.

Don’t ask for love

I’ll throw it back in your face.

All of these promises

Were only made to break.

All of these promises…

(Chorus repeats…)

I could be anywhere else but here

But the rain won’t let me go.

There’s a photograph

Hanging on my wall

Of a place I’ve never been to…

I’ll never make the grade

(Feels like Sunday everyday)

And I can’t stop the rain

(Feels like Sunday everyday)

What do the papers say?

(Feels like Sunday everyday)

Get up and go now!

In this town – something’s gotta change.

In this town – something’s gotta change.

I’m looking at the world –

Looking for a scene –

Waiting for a day –

Filling in time like I’m digging

My own grave…

I’ll never make the grade

(Feels like Sunday everyday)

And I can’t stop the rain

(Feels like Sunday everyday)

What do the papers say?

(Feels like Sunday everyday)

Get up and go now!

(Chorus repeats…)

Well there’s a colour picture

In my mind.Of all the placesThat I’ve left behind.

The broken windows

Where the wind blows through

Empty shells of houses

That have turned to ruin.

Oh – we were so young.

We didn’t realise

Just what we’d done.

Oh – we were too young.

And I remember you.

You were the back yard boy.

Hiding in the wreckage

Of broken dreams.

Standing by the railway line.

Standing.

Oh – we were so young.

We didn’t realise

Just what we’d done.

Oh – we were too young.

And all the sweetness

Has been taken out of this place.

So many memories

Are knocked down or replaced.

And I can’t stand to see

The shifting time

Taking me further –

Leaving you behind.

(Chorus repeats…)
