Gimme the Love - Neville Nash

Stick lies and rhymes about the old days Keeping rich just to make new waves I thought about it in a few ways Pull back, took on the pale blaze Middle role, the world 'bout the game play Soft focus hard on the airplay Tryna make it sound like the new phase It's only gonna be the same Peering down was falling deep heat Steer back and trying to give it upbeat False fibs talk about the old streets Brick wall hit by the concrete Throw Ben, backhand his pony Hard to tell if any of 'em phony Took back time to think like the old me It's only gonna be the same Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love It's only gonna be the same Shakes hard, turning out to get paid Bad times, sees the people real fake Pushing on her hard what's already been made Coming up fast, cut glass, the next take Better put your sticker on 'cause you gonna break Late nights make you walk sideways And now we're gonna party my way It's only gonna be the same Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love It's only gonna be the same Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love It's only gonna be the same Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love It's never gonna be the same Just gimme the love Just gimme the love Just gimme the love

I have drunk my head all weary I've been wild in search for fun A lot of dates and names and places Great deal of women I have known But as I sit here and remember all the things that I've been through It appears to me quite clear now how one thing always remained true I have a gift thta have make me wonders to write and sing a song It pulled me through a lot of hard times and probably will do so for quite long Two continents I've travelled I've made a million friends I've talked to press, tv and radio I've been exhausted, joyed and bored beyond sense I have recorded things I've written great deal of albums I did sell I've done what many only dream of It's been sheer heaven mixed with just a little hell I've seen my face on the covers of the magazines We go through many different stages in our life though short it is We take on symbols sounds and faces but in the end you're all there is This is me playing and me singing it's for you all to either love or hate Behind this leather and my dark shades there's a heart that's far from a fake Before you critisize please understand And value only what you've got at hand Don't bring your prejudice of what is me You see you can not put a label on the wind

I'm heavy handed To say the least My mother thinks I'll be an awful clutcher 'Cause I spill things from stirring 'em too quickly I'm far too loud It's like as soon as I've got an opinion, it just has to come out I laugh at stupid things Just 'cause they tickle me And Sometimes I wish Sometimes I wish I was like Mariella She got some Pritt Stick and she glued her lips together So she never had to speak, never had to speak, never had to speak People used to say she's as quiet as a mouse, she just doesn't make a peep She marched to her wardrobe and she threw away the colour Because wearing black looks mysterious, but it didn't impress her mother She wanted to dress her baby in patterns and flowers But Mariella just crossed her arms and so she cried for hours "Mariella Mariella My pretty, baby girl Unglue your lips from being together and wear some pink and pearls You can have your friends 'round and they can stay for tea Won't you just try to fit in please? Do this for me" But Mariella just crossed her arms and she walked up the stairs And she went into her bedroom and she sat on her bed And she looked in the mirror and she thought to herself "If I wanna play, I can play with me If I wanna think, I'll think in my head" At school, Mariella didn't have many friends Yeah, the girls, they all looked at her and they thought she was quite strange And the boys, they're not really into girls at that age And the teachers, they thought Mariella was just going through a phase But Mariella just smiled as she skipped down the road Because she knew all the secrets in her world Yeah, she always got the crossword puzzles right every day And she could do the alphabet backwards, without making any mistakes Mariella Mariella You pretty, pretty girl Mariella Mariella Happy in your own little world Happy in her own little world And she said "Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Gonna unglue my lips from being together" She said "I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Yeah, I'm never, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever Gonna unglue my lips from being together, ha, ha, ha, ha"

Blue velvet curtains, why do you judge me? Remind me of all that, all that I can't be? Barefoot and tiptoe straight to the toilet Think of my nightmares, they've been bad lately You are not here You are not You are not here You are not I'm driving to the mountains to see snow Crying in the car park of Home Depot Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know My head is cloudy, feels like a fog Make up my bedroom, what is the point, though? Lean on the staircase, daydream for hours Maybe at night I'll creep through the house You are not here You are not You are not here You are not I'm driving to the mountains to see snow Crying in the car park of a Home Depot Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know I'm swimming in the ocean to feel cold Eating supermarket sushi all alone Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know I'm camping in the desert under stars Sleeping in a pair of your old boxer shorts Sunset lights the sky up, neon glow And you don't even know
