The Pleasure Principle (Dub Edit - The Shep Pettibone Mix) - Janet Jackson

Someone I know is staring at me And when I look into her eyes I see a girl that I used to be I hardly recognise Cos in the space of a year I've watched the old me disappear All of the things I once held precious Just don't mean anything anymore Cos suddenly You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I've never felt good with permanent things Now I don't want anything to change You can't imagine the joy you bring My life won't be the same And I'll be there when you call I'll pick you up if you should fall Cos I have never felt such inspiration Nobody else ever gave me more because You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place I watch you sleep in the still of the night You look so pretty when you dream So many people just go through life Holding back, they don't say what they mean But it's easy for me Since you came No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place You came, and changed the way I feel No one could love you more Because you came and turned my life around No one could take your place

I don't mind If you're keeping someone else behind I don't care 'Cause you've got something I can share Hey, take your chance, even if it's only Only while we're dancing in the light Of your second sight Because when you understand me You might feel good around me now I don't want your love to bring me down I don't want your love, so turn it around I won't turn you out, if you've got someone else Someone else you care about Because you must realize My obsessive fascination is in your imagination, now pick it up I don't want your love to bring me down (I don't what your love, I don't what your love) I don't want your love so turn it around (I don't what your love, I don't what your love) Your rhythm is the power, to move me It's something you control, completely I don't want your love I don't want your love (I don't what your love) I like noise, 'cause I like waking up the house I cannot sit down, I can't shut my mouth But when you understand me You might feel good around me, now back it up Your rhythm is the power, to move me It's something you control, completely I don't want your love I don't want your love (I don't what your love) I don't want your love (I don't what your love) To bring me down (I don't what your love) (I don't what your love) I don't want your love (I don't what your love) So turn it around (I don't what your love) (I don't what your love) I don't want your love (I don't what your love) I don't want your love (I don't what your love) I don't want your love (I don't what your love)

Sometimes you're better off dead There's a gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head You think you're mad, too unstable Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables In a restaurant in a West End town Call the police, there's a madman around Running down underground To a dive bar in a West End town In a West End town, a dead-end world The East End boys and West End girls In a West End town, a dead-end world The East End boys and West End girls West End girls Too many shadows, whispering voices Faces on posters, too many choices If, when, why, what? How much have you got? Have you got it, do you get it? If so, how often? And which do you choose? A hard or soft option? In a West End town, a dead-end world The East End boys and West End girls In a West End town, a dead-end world The East End boys and West End girls West End girls, West End girls In a West End town, a dead-end world The East End boys and West End girls Ooh, West End town, a dead-end world East End boys, West End girls West End girls, West End girls You can find a place, that no one knows Where money talks and streets are gold Someone stands on every door And if they speak, they break the law Ask a question, blank faces Read the news and turn the pages Watch them play a different game And no one knows your name No one knows your name West End girls, West End girls You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone? Just you wait 'till I get you home We've got no future, we've got no past Here today, built to last In every city, in every nation From Lake Geneva to the Finland station In a West End town, a dead-end world The East End boys and West End girls Ooh, West End town, a dead-end world East End Boys, West End girls West End girls And no one knows your name No one knows your name, no one knows your name No one knows your name, no one knows your name No one knows your name, no one knows your name No one knows your name, no one knows your name No one knows your name, no one knows your name No one knows your name, no one knows your name No one knows your name

She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. Into her heart, into her heart she's waiting. She told me I must hold onto the mo-oment. And when the moments over I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone And like a bird, yes like a bird, she'll fly away. She never said, she never said she'd stay here. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that ship to come. I cannot fight, I cannot fight the ocean, all alone (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. Now kiss me on, now kiss me on my broken wings. Don't leave me here, don't leave me in the water. She's waiting on, She's waiting on that storm to come. And when the rain comes down I will be washed away. I hope, I hope we meet again. I want, I want to hold you again. I hope, I hope we meet again. I'll know, I'll know until the end. I'll be all aloooone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone. (La le la, la le la, la le la, la le la) Then I'll be all alone.

The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air You know it's funny how the people say the world is changed, It's like: Saying that stranger's a kind of strange It's like: Saying that water is kind of wet It's like: Saying that Elvis is kind of dead It's evident to anyone with half a brain that things change, That's why books have more than one page, That's why, me and my grandfather aren't the same age, That's why New Kids On The Block thery're not rockin' on Triple-J But, the more things change, the more they stay the same Same old girls, same wars, same games Sure, there's climate change, and there's terrorists and AIDS But we used to have the nazis And now it's was way way way worse But things get bad, then get better, Before I started eating bree, I used to eat cheddar The world is always gonna change, only love stays the same, Like I say in the refrain The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air When I died, I got them to cryogenically freeze me Believe me, it cost four million, that's cheap To see the future, see infinity, I thought that I had proven the truth of man's divinity But I discovered, I was poor like a chimney sweep, The richest man is just a tramp in the scheme of things Up there in the future, it wasn't much fun, Just a bunch of frozen businessman dreaming of a refund "Gimme back my money" They were yellin', Calling for the manager They were used to those credit card advantages But MasterCard can't change the past, can it? No kind of plastic is worth shit on a dead planet The whole place was cold like you wouldn't believe Just dead rocks in a dried up sea Just like time gone by Just like five fuckin' billion BC The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' deep inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air Instrumental The meek shall inherit the earth, they're fine Don't have to fight for that shit Just have to bide your time Keep quiet, don't write any rhymes if you can help it 'Cos I'm sure god favors the silent, not the violent, Maybe the vibrant, definitely firemen Maybe the prime mister if he sticks to his assignment To lead wisely and not be divisive And while I'm on the subject, God, can you make him bring back human rights All right, fine, this is not a diatribe Just an ordinary rhyme about extraordinary times Hey, digital natives, on the love super highway You come my way leave e-mails and just fly away How good's that? I guess it's not all bad Crap, shit, fuck! We can still make positive tracks, Cut them on wax, under the full moon, Bury 'em for a month, And deep fry that to make, to make beats fat Fatter in batter, that's my motto, Like Specto said: back to mono, before he went loco Chatter for chatters sake that's the game, So I write rhymes that don't nessecerely mean a thing Sometimes, but this time I write a rhyme I can't deny I lie awake at night and recite the diatribe I'm alive and inspired to write rhymes or die tryin'. The future is the past And it will last for as long as it's lasted Every time I get plastered I see stars Livin' inside of me We were all once a part of distant galaxies And I swear When the universe ends I'll be there 'Cos I wanna see what love looks like When there's no sound, no matter, no light, no television, no air
