| TEARJERKER ALBUM LYRICS.....  THIN WHITE DOVE
words and music by Steve Larkman. I got my baby and she’s way outta sight
And she calls me Stacy in the middle of the night
So super lady make me feel so fine,
She told Mr. Jones she was mine, mine, mine
Yeah I, I’m gonna be your man. I, wanna be your man
And when my baby dances in the street
She’s got sixteen rivers she’s got flying feet
No I’m not talking ‘bout a thin white dove,
I’m making a claim for love.
Cos I, I’m gonna be your man. Yes I, I’mgonna be your man,
When my baby dances in the street she’s got a sunset smile
And when she’s looking good enough to eat she’s got a sunset smile
When my baby dances in the street she’s got a sunset smile
She’s got a sunset smile
I got my baby and she’s way outta sight
And she calls me Stacy in the middle of the night
No I’m not talking ‘bout a thin white dove
I’m making my claim for love
Ha na na I’m gonna be your man, Cos I wanna be your man,
Yes I, I wanna be your man, I wanna be your man,
Yes, I be your man, Yeah I, I’m gonna be your man, I’m gonna be your man. REMEMBER
words and music by Steve Larkman. She’s a pretty face but she’s not the one.
Such a pretty face but she’s not so gorgeous as my son.
She’s across the world, she’s across the sky,
(I saw her flying yesterday)
She can take you down like you’re an ordinary guy.
But we can dance and we can sing, We can do almost anything
In the end, we laugh away the tears.
Once upon a time in a pretty place, (I saw it shining yesterday)
There will come a time to see the wonder on your face,
Then we can dance, and we can sing, and we can do almost anything
Will we then remember all these years?
So can you wait ‘til the wind is blowing back to my arms again.
Will you wait ‘til the wind is blowing?
Back to my arms, back to these arms again.
She says I’m a pretty face, but I’m not the one
Such a pretty face, but I’m not so gorgeous as my son
Whenever we’re in trouble we can dance, we can sing, we can do almost anything,
In the end we laugh away the tears.
So can you wait ‘til the wind is blowing back to my arms again.
Will you wait ‘til the wind is blowing?
Back to my arms, back to these arms again. ELOISE
words and music by Steve Larkman. Well I saw you strutting out there turning all the heads girl
And all the time I knew the head you wanted was mine.
And it made me feel good
Why don’t you come and get me baby like you know you could?
Please please Eloise, we can go dancing on a summer breeze
I’ll book our tickets on a one way ride, we’ll set the city alight
Eloise Eloise I got the heat down here to stop your freeze
Please please Eloise don’t tease, my motors’ running just right
Well I noticed that you noticed that I’m walking on this earth now
Why should we waste all the time we got together at all.
Why should we throw it away?
Yeah every time I get to see ya, babe you ain’t got nothing to say
Please please Eloise, I’ll take you dancing on a summer breeze
I’ll book our tickets on a one way ride, we’ll set the city alight
Eloise Eloise I got the heat down here to stop your freeze
Please please Eloise don’t tease, my motors’ running just right
Yeah, my motors’ running just right
Huh, my motors’ running just right DIAMONDS
words and music by Steve Larkman. There once was a poor boy, from a poor family
And he never learned the things he could.
His daddy never wanted a son, his mama never had any fun, it's no good.
Well he was such a poor boy, and he didn't know better,
never tried to find the things he should.
On and on, on and on, it's no good.
He liked to fly sometimes, far away into the night.
On and on and on and on and on. His endless flight into the light.
Oh he was such a poor boy, from a poor family
Never tried to find the things he could.
Daddy never wanted a son, mama never had any fun, it's no good.
He sits there all alone, checking photographs.
He sits there all alone, re- checking photographs.
And everytime it gets to calling up your number
He chickens out inside, he doesn't take that ride.
We like to fly sometimes, far away into the night.
On and on and on and on and on.
This endless flight into the light of all of those Diamonds,
each and every one of those Diamonds,
shining on and on into the night.
And though his mama never wanted a son
and his daddy never had any fun, he's alright.. BLACK AND BLUE
words and music by Steve Larkman. Is there something I should know, Is there something I should try to do,
Is there something I should know? To get next to you
Is there something I could say, or something I could do today,
Is it such a long long way? To get close to you. Cos I wanna be close to you
If there’s something you can’t show? Like if you’re feeling black and blue.
You’ve only got to let me know and I’ll be next to you
You don’t wanna be black and blue so let me get close to you
You don’t wanna be black and blue
If I could get to where you are, I’d be swinging on a star
‘Cos you’re the real thing and I’m a fool for you now.
I got something on my mind there’s a message you should listen to
It’s not hard for me to say I love you.
You don’t wanna be black and blue, let me get close to you
You don’t wanna be black and blue, ah let me get close to you
You don’t wanna be black and blue You don’t wanna be. Black and blue. You don’t wanna be. Black and blue.
You don’t wanna be. Black and blue. You don’t wanna be. Black and blue.
ARMS OF STONE
words and music by Steve Larkman. So you say you're never gonna call me again and you're stayin' home,
you say you're looking for something better in you're life than just one man.
Well I got something for you girl, and it's coming through now.
I swear I'm gonna shake you off somehow this time.
I don't wanna feel your arms of stone, I don't wanna feel your arms of stone,
I don't wanna feel your arms of stone around me again.
And when we were on the beach last month, just kickin' sand,
you said I'd never ever know you and that I'd never understand.
I knew you'd take your bags that night......and runaway.
Oh, well It's all water under the bridge now.
I don't wanna feel your arms of stone, I don't wanna feel your arms of stone,
I don't wanna feel your arms of stone around me again. REPEAT
I used to lie awake at night, watching my t.v.
hoping for some chocolate covered dream that could never be.
Only time will tell if I can ever be your friend,
But I'm the one you'll never, I'm the one you'll never,
I'm the one you never hold again.
Now only the lonely are my company. They walk with me on my crowded stairs.
For the rest of my days, I'll see the blind man
And the sound of his silence will keep me there.
I don't wanna feel your arms of stone, I don't wanna feel your arms of stone,
I don't wanna feel your arms of stone around me again. REPEAT PARK AVENUE
words and music by Steve Larkman. You saw me in the street tonight standing there and crying in the rain Ever since you went and closed the door on me I knew I’d never be the same And now I dream I see you on the stairs Dream I see you smiling at me too I think I’m going crazy, my baby’s gonna live on Park Avenue Oh now baby, oh yeah baby oh my baby’s gonna live, baby’s gonna live Ah baby, now baby, oh my baby’s gonna live All the dreams that passed away so fast are equal now to nothing in our head And all the love we had together’s turned to waiting for the end to come instead And now I know that I can take the blame ‘cos nothing bad was ever down to you Oh I think I’m going crazy, ’cos baby’s gonna live on Park Avenue Ah now baby, yeah now baby, oh my baby’s gonna live, baby’s gonna live My baby, na na na baby oh my baby’s gonna live on Park Avenue La da da da La da da da da da I saw you on the street tonight standing there and crying in the rain Ever since he went and closed the door on you I knew you’d never be the same 'cos now I know you’ll see him on the stairs, dream you see him smiling at you too Well, I know I, n..know I, n..know I, I’m going crazy My baby’s gonna live on Park Avenue Oh yeah baby, oh na baby, oh my baby’s gonna live, baby’s gonna live Oh baby, ssh nn nn baby, oh my baby’s gonna to live, baby’s gonna live My baby, sha na na baby, oh my baby’s gonna live on Park Avenue.

| | BLUE FOR YOU words and music by Steve Larkman. Broken heart listening to the radio, pain in the chest everywhere she goes
And every time she tries to tell him goodbye,
He takes her in his arms and says “I’d rather die”
And then all her joy, all her pain coming up around now to hurt her again.
Into the night, on through the day,
She can’t forget the words that her lover would say
He’d say “Call me your baby I will call you my love
I’ll tell you all the things I’ve been dreaming of
And then hug me and kiss me Just like lovers oughtta do
Baby if you ever leave me I’ll be blue for you.”
Married in a church with the flowers in her hands
Looking up with hazy eyes to say “I do” to her man
When they’ve done this, it’s sealed with a kiss.
She can’t think of anything she’s gonna miss
‘Cos he made her an offer she couldn’t refuse
No more sorrow for a hatful of blues. So when they get home, when they’re alone,
He just wanna to hear those words she sighs
She sighs “Call me your baby I will call you my love
Now tell me all the things you’ve been dreaming of
And I’ll hug you and kiss you just like lovers always do
Baby if you ever leave me I’ll be blue for you.”
When the time came for them to part they didn’t feel good no they didn’t feel smart.
They didn’t feel as though they’d learned something new,
They couldn’t see what good trying again was gonna do
Just two broken hearts listen to the radio. Pains in the chest everywhere they go
But next time they fall, next time they try, there ‘aint gonna be any long goodbye
It’s just “So long now baby, yeah goodbye my love,
We had all the things we’d been dreaming of
And we held each other tightly, just like lovers always do
Baby the party’s over, I am blue for you.” EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE A STAR
words and music by Steve Larkman. Living in a country where my friends are far away,
dying in a ditch in a burned out car.
Are you losing your wife to a man with a milllion hearts?
Everybody wants to be a star.
Running automatic guns on the borderline of an American town,
killing black and white boys in an African bar.
Does your brother really care what it is he's fighting for?
Everybody wants to be a star.
Everybody wants to go and live a rich man's life with a poor man's soul.
Everybody wants the microphone, to sing some rock and roll.
If you're losing your life to a face on the steps of an Irish church
or you're giving up blood but you don't know why you are.
It doesn't really matter what it is you're fighting for.
'Cos everybody wants to be a star.
We gotta get outta this country,we're gonna dance out to the sea.
We gotta get outta this country, my baby and me, yea,
we gotta get outta this country, we're gonna shoot up to the sky.
We're never ever ever gonna be shot down, never ever ever gonna say goodbye
Everybody lives and everybody loves and everyone dies.
From the American West to the edge of the Japanese coast.
Does it ever really matter what it is you're fighting for anymore?
Everybody wants to be a star ...... Everybody wants to be a star.
And like the sun that's what we really are. Everybody wants to be,
Everyone, (including me), Everybody wants to be a star. DAY OF THE GOLDEN KING
words and music by Steve Larkman. There’s guys who can kill, just like in the movies
Girls who can flip like a doll on a string
Mothers and fathers, winners and losers, beautiful birds that can fly but not sing
And in tenements, subways on radio stations, pop music’s playing loud in my ears.
Who are the ones with the power to hurt us, who are the ones with the power to fear?
Out in the distance we see a light shining, reflecting the sun on a river of change
Thundering skies and whispering voices, how can you help us be happy again?
Will you make us more pop music, TV’s and cars, tell us that Elvis sleeps in your arms
Say you’re the ones with the power to change things
Say you’re the ones with the powers to heal?
Still in tenements, subways on radio stations, pop music’s playing loud in my ears
We are the ones with the voices to sing, in time for the coming of our Golden King
There’s guys who can kill just like in the movies
Girls who think they hold this world on a string
Sisters and brothers, winners and losers, beautiful birds that can cry but not sing
In precincts and stabilised underground houses, pop music’s playing loud in my ears
Who are the ones with desire to hurt us, who are the ones with the power to fear?
When the stars in the bright sky all flicker and fade
And the fish in the sea begin breathing in air
How will you work then to show us you love us,
what would you do then to prove that you care.
Would you make us more pop music, TV’s and cars, tell us that Elvis sleeps in your arms
Say you’re the ones with the power to change things
Say you’re the ones with the powers to heal?
In tenements, subways on radio stations, pop music’s playing loud in my ears
We are the ones with the voices to sing, in time for the coming of our Golden King BROKEN
words and music by Steve Larkman. My golden dreams have flown away and left me broken on the shore
My golden dreams have blown away and now I’m broken like before
If you change your mind I’ll be waiting
If you take your time I’ll be scared
‘Cos I don’t wanna hurt anymore
There’s only love, did someone say, can leave you broken on the shore
And memories of yesterday are left unspoken like before
It’s a lonesome game that we’re playing
And despite my fame, I’ll be scared
‘Cos I don’t wanna hurt anymore
Under the waterfront you’d like to meet your lover
Out on the waterfront you’d like to see my lover
These golden dreams have flown away and left me broken on the shore
I’ve found the words to make you stay, but you’re not listening anymore
If you read my mind well I’m a stayer
And the things you’ll find make you scared
‘Cos I don’t wanna hurt anymore.
ALL I WANNA DO IS DANCE.
words and music by Steve Larkman. Don’t ask me questions I can’t answer. Give me reasons to believe
I’m not a singer baby or a dancer, I don’t have anything to prove
All I wanna do is dance, All I wanna do is dance,
All I wanna do is dance the night away
I’m not a singer baby or a dancer, I don’t have anything to prove
All I wanna do is dance, All I wanna do is dance
All I wanna do is dance the night away
I’m not a singer baby or a dancer, I don’t have anything to prove
I’m not a singer baby or a dancer, I don’t have anything to prove
All I wanna do is dance We must be patient,
All I wanna do is dance We can’t be silent
All I wanna do is dance We must be patient
The night away We can’t be silent
The night away. Dance the night away. Dance the night away.
TEARJERKER.
words and music by Steve Larkman. Some say love is a losing game, some say love is a lie
But everybody knows it’s a dangerous thing. Laying out your heart on the line
It’s a tearjerker baby, such a tearjerker baby
algunas dicen amor son un juego perdidosa que
algunas dicen amor son una mentira
pera todos la sabe es una cosa peligrosa que
presenta a su corazon en la linea
It’s a tearjerker baby, such a tearjerker baby
Where this world's gonna take ya', it's a tearjerker baby.
Should have known better with a girl like you, that I would love everything you do.
So if you’re gonna leave me, leave me, fade away....
You say love is a losing game and you say love is a lie
But everybody knows it’s a dangerous thing.
Laying out your heart on the line
It’s a tearjerker baby, such a tearjerker baby,
It’s a tearjerker baby, such a tearjerker baby
It’s a tearjerker baby, it’s a tearjerker baby,
It’s a tearjerker baby, such a tearjerker baby.
HAVE YOU EVER BEEN BLUE
words and music by Steve Larkman. Have you ever been weak, have you ever been strong, Have you ever been right, have you ever done wrong, Have you ever been blue, well you know I have too When I didn’t love you Whatever I do, whatever I say Tomorrow or another day, I know that it’s true, I’ll always be blue If not for you. Was it love you left behind, all those years ago? Did you really change your mind? Did you really wanna let go, oh Wherever I go, wherever I stay, I’ll never let love get outta my way, I know that it’s true I would ever be blue If not for you. Whatever I'd do, I’d always be blue But times have changed. Have you ever been blue, well you know I have too When I didn’t love you. Yeah
