Cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me There is no Chicago urban blues More heartfelt than my lament for you I'm a liberal guy, too cool for the macho ache With a secret tooth for the cherry on the cake With a pious smile, a smile that changes what I say While I waste my time in regretting That the days went from perfect to just okay Lordy, what would I do? Don't call me possessive But God if he's smoochin' with you I's a jealous boy root, the world should be free But don't you go following suit, my heart is aligned It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend Paa paa paa, these feelings might tuppent up friend, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me Should a love be tender and bleed out loud Or be tougher than tough and prouder than proud? If I'm troubled by every folding of your skirt Am I guilty of every male inflicted hurt? But I don't know how to describe the modern rose When I can't refer to her shape against her clothes With the fever of purple prose Lordy, what would I do? Don't call me possessive But God if he's smoochin' with you I's a jealous boy root, the world should be free But don't you go following suit, my heart is aligned It couldn't be neutral, I couldn't be that way inclined It's hard to defend Paa paa paa, these feelings might tuppent up friend, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel Paa paa paa, it's cruel, it's crueler than cruel But cruel is the Gospel thats sets us all free Then takes you away from me Cruel is the Gospel that sets us all free Then takes you away from me My contribution to urban blues

Some expressions take me back Like hair of gold and sweet Mary And running to me The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes Nostalgia supplies Loreto Highstreet buried me Beneath the oak tree As this is to me Then so to you is something else That keeps you up long past your bedtime, tearing hair The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town Playing for blood as grandmasters should Some obsessions take me back Like hair of golden and sweet Mary And running to me The sweet sweet songs that cloud your eyes Nostalgia supplies Loreto Highstreet buried me Beneath the oak tree When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town The sweetest moment comes at last The waitings over In shock they stare and cue fanfare When Bobby Fischer's plane touches the ground He'll take those Russian boys and play them out of town Playing for blood as grandmasters should

I've been asking what is new, like my streetwise buddy do Body talk seems big with him, so it's conversations in the gym Ooh enchanted ooh enchanted "Pray Forsooth" and "I Adore" ain't the ticket anymore So how'd you recognise a king? You ask yourself can that cat swing It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Comin' down the years, plain enchantment That's the glue that binds and bonds The dying to the new, plain enchantment Ain't no purple rain quite like it Here's something to dwell upon Now we're living next we're gone, so if you've love please pass it on 'Cos it's a disbelieving world, but sensitive as any girl It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too It's time to learn tiger stretch tiger burn Ooh enchanted And the calendar pages blew Like the Montagues, like the Capulet crew Ooh enchanted We're addicted to friction too Ooh enchanted now we're living!
