MANNY CHARLTON:   Bravado

Hit The Fan

Why don't you tell me that's it's over
Why do you keep this hangin' on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Do what you mean and see it done

Why don't you cut me loose, you don't need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
There's nothin' left here to say for you to please me
You're just a dog who had its day

You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad

Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan

You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold

You used to lead the dance and fumble
How in the night you couldn't sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap

The Difference

Makes no difference to me
If you stay or if you leave
Seein' the time, seen the day
Would have been the end of me
There's nothin' left for us to say
We never talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
If you stay or if you leave

Makes no difference to me
If you want that I should go
I hope you've got all that you need
Not that it matters anymore
There's nothin' left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
If you want, that I should go

Makes no difference to me
Somethin' has died and somethin's gone
I'm not trying to lay the blame
'Bout who was right or who was wrong

There's nothing left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
Something's died, something's gone

And it don't matter, no!

Makes no difference to me
Something has died and something's gone
I'm not trying to lay the blame
'Bout who was right and who was wrong

There's nothing left for us to say
We never did talk much anyway
Makes no difference to me
Something's died, something's gone

And it don't matter, no!

Harvest Moon

You can't do anything right, you must be good for nothin'
You can't read or write and you can't count up to ten
You run around blind but your feet move around in circles
You're heads in the clouds but your havin' yourself a time

I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright

You don't give a damn about the latest style or fashion
Your hair's too long and your feet don't fit in your shoes
You're not too smooth but I know that you must know something
There's a look in your eye when you hear those rhythm and blues

I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright

You're much too wide and you're way too fat for comfort
You drink too much and you smoke like an ol' steam train
You're a barrel of fun and the girls all think you're crazy
Just a dancing fool singin' in the morning rain

I want to be like you
I want to be like you
Just a natural fool, under the harvest moon
Just a crazy old fool, under the harvest moon
That's alright.....that's alright

She Rox

She's as sweet as candy
She's a sugar coated queen
Shine's like a diamond
On the silver screen

Sixteen and sexy
Peaches and cream
Strawberry milkshake
If you know what I mean

She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox
She rox, she rox

Low down and dirty
Sure built for speed
Motorcycle mama
Heavy metal machine

She's a penthouse centerfold
She's a walking, talking dream
Too hot, too dangerous
Got to be seen

Low down and dirty
Sure built for speed
Motorcycle mama
Heavy metal machine

She's a penthouse centerfold
She's a walking, talking dream
Too hot, too dangerous
Got to be seen

Classic

She ain't as young as she used to be
She's got some miles on her now
She ain't no chicken and her paint job's fadin'
But I still love her anyhow

She still runs hot and sexy
Stoppin' grown men in their tracks
Take her top down in the sunshine
Chase the wind no lookin' back

Fell in lust when I first saw her
Lookin' like a million dollars
Couldn't wait to get inside her
Just to ride her
Listen to her scream
Every young man's dream

And I don't care if the rust shows thro'
She's got some miles on her now
She's still the classic
Still to die for
And I still love her anyhow

Being There

I see your name, up in lights now
And I hear your words on the air
But I see your face on the T.V.
On the news stands
How does it feel, being there
How does it feel

I see you're top of the the pops now
Box office sell-out success
I see your picture on the cover of Newsweek
How does it fell, being there
How does it feel

Is it all that they say
Are you happy or sceptical
How does it feel, being there
How does it feel, being there
You know

I see you drive up in limos
Suicidal blonde on each arm
And I see your face in the mirror
Doin' cocaine
How does it feel, being there
How does it feel

I hear they need you in the movies
Box office sure fire success
And we'll see the big smile on the big screen
How does it feel, being there
How does it feel

Do you think it was worth it
Is it all that they say
Are you happy or sceptical
How does it feel, being there
How does it feel, being there

Scene Of The Crime


He makes his sign, and he leaves his smell
At the scene of his crime
Its his day in hell
And there's smoke in the sky, and there's fire in his eyes
At the scene of his crime
How many have died
Oh Yeah!

And he waves his flags, and he sells his cause
And we count the cost, of the lives we've lost
And he shows his hand ,and he shows his soul
At the scene of the crime.......
Oh! my blood runs cold
Oh Yeah!

It's an endless war, and he infects our child
At the scene of the crime
He walks a murder mile
He shows no sense, and he shows no remorse
At the scene of the crime
We all pay his cost.........Oh yeah!

He makes his sign, and he leaves his smell
At the scene of his crime
Its his day in hell
And there's smoke in the sky, and there's fire in his eyes
At the scene of his crime
How many have died
Oh Yeah!

Legend

Well I've seen your face
And the color of your eyes
I've seen the way that you look at me
I was something to despise

And I heard them call you legend
That you played the game so well
Let me just say one more time
I didn't kiss and tell

All the heart's that you've broken
All the damage that you've done
And all the words and your promises
Died like snowflakes in the sun

They say you walk with angels
That you talk with God
Oh you are so righteous
Oh you are so holy

All the heart's that you have broken
All the damage that you've done
And all the words and the promises
Died like snowflakes in the sun

They say you walk with angels
That you talk with God
Oh you are so righteous
Oh you are so holy

Working Man

All of his life he's been a working man
Up every morning in the dark and rain
Every Friday night he gets his take home pay
And he hands it all over and he don't complain

All of his life he's been a working man
He never pushed paper but he used his hands
And all that he was his father's way
So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day

Put your hands together for the working man
Puts food on the table for his wife and lads
My daddy spent his life as a working man
And he worked for a year for his week in Spain

All of his life he's been a working man
Up every morning in the dark and rain
Every Friday night he gets his take home pay
And he hands it all over and he don't complain

All of his life he's been a working man
He never pushed paper but he used his hands
And all that he was his father's way
So he'll walk in his footsteps to his dying day

Put your hands together for the working man
Puts food on the table for his wife and lads
My daddy spent his life as a working man
And he worked for a year for his week in Spain

Stone Crazy

Children taking handguns to classrooms
Getting blown away
Play time means something new, today

President tells lies in the courthouse
He's gonna slip away
Justice means something new, today

We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy

Madman who can't take a lesson
Playin' with his toys
War means something else, today

Real life gets stranger than fiction
Judgement on the web
Fair trial means something new, today

We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy

Marines kill horses with machine guns
Some idea of fun
Sport must mean something new, today

A child is born with a needle a day habit
Got it from his mom
Mother meaning something new, today

We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy

Madman who can't take a lesson
Playin' with his toys
War means something else, today

Real life gets stranger than fiction
Judgement on the web
Fair trial means something new, today

We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy

Marines kill horses with machine guns
Some idea of fun
Sport must mean something new, today

A child is born with a needle a day habit
Got it from his mom
Mother needed something new, today

We're all together now
In a world that's constantly changing
We're all together now
In a world that's going stone crazy

Monkey Nutz

I don't buy your master plan
And you don't know nor understand
Why sink your head in the sand
Two in your bush, one in my hand

Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz

I don't need this runaround
Why don't you keep your hand me downs
You never give no turn me ons
All you can give is scraps and bones

Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz
Why don't you stick it where the monkey sticks his nutz

I don't want your sympathy
All of your dreams lie at your feet
There's no more, turn the other cheek
Keep all your nice boys and your freaks

Don't come knockin' at my door
I wont be your dog no more
I can't get it up for you
Go run and fuck somebody new

Huh!

The Hill

Out of your mind, got to be blind
Killers and martyrs with blood in their eyes
Chancers and gangsters with hearts cold as ice

Jesus can save, did nobody say
Beggars and soldiers who dress up and kill
Count all the children who died on your hill

Nobody cares, nobody sees
All of your causes they don't mean a fuck
All you can show us is blood, hate and guns

Judas still lives, he hides on the net
Killers and martyrs who live by the gun
Make no impressions, they just hit and run

Foolish Child

Cry,if that's the way you feel
Let it all come fallin' down
We all know that you feel alone
Foolish child

Cry, if that's the way you feel
All your tears won't wash you clean
We can't feel the pain you feel
Foolish child

Die, that's the easy way for you
See if anyone really cares
What's so bad about the life you have
Foolish child

Die, leave your message on the phone
How much love do you you need
We all know how the story goes
Foolish child

Why, did you let it come to this
Another number on a list
What becomes of all the hearts you've won
Foolish child

We can't feel the way you feel
All your tears can't wash you clean
Cry if that's the way you feel
My foolish child

One From The Heart

I?ve seen that girl before
I?ve seen the boys that come and go
And still she?s on her own
I?ve seen those tears before
I?ve seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone

There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
