Lyrics from Chor Bazaar
Fighter
I was watching a late night film
How to steal a million - A Parisienne sting
Venus wasn't quite what she seemed
A forgery, a robbery, a happy ending
I was chatting some ridiculous things
Funny kind of conversations late nights bring
Winding you up like a spring
No matter what I say I seem to say the wrong thing
Coz I'm a fighter
I'm an angry girl
Coz you got to be a fighter in this ugly world
Yes I'm burning - I'm burning up
Coz you got to have a thunder or your game is up
Coz I'm a fighter
I'm an angry girl
Coz you got to be a fighter in this ugly world
Yes I'm burning - I'm burning up
Coz you got to have a fire or your game is up
I was wasting all my money on things
Bidding and a bidding coz the bid is ending
Lost in a spending spin
Didn't really need it - I just needed to win
You know I kinda like to say what I think
Honesty - my policy you know what I mean
Don't you like the truths that I bring
Speak it from the heart and I'll say it fighting
Coz I’m a fighter….
Said you really loved the way that I sing
Said you really didn't mean it you were only joking
Said "I'll love you if you're fat or you're thin"
Said you really didn't mean it you were only joking
You said we had this understanding
You could do your own and I could do my own thing
Kind of a misunderstanding
Can't you see my eyes I'm in the mood for fighting
Coz I'm a fighter…
Crisis
Scream and I shout but I don’t make a sound
Can you hear me
Coz I’ve been calling
I’ve been calling out your name
Try as I do but I can’t figure out
If you love me
Do you love me?
Have I been loving you in vain?
Don’t tell me you want me
Don’t tell me I am not the same
Don’t tell me you love me
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
You made a big mistake
Now there’s a mighty crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
I saw that you were fake
Now there’s a crisis crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I got my doubts but I don’t let them out
Coz I’m angry
I’ve been dealing
I’ve been reeling from the pain
Hard as I try I just can’t work it out
Are you hiding?
You hiding away
Are you shunnning me again?
Don’t tell me you’re sorry
Don’t tell me I’m the one that’s changed
Don’t tell me you love me
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
I say for heaven’s sake
Now there’s a mighty crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
I saw that you were fake
Now there’s a crisis crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
Too many crimes that I can’t even cite
You’re so guilty
How you took me
Came to steal my heart again
And though I try I just can’t sleep at night
I’m awake here
I lay awake dear
Though you’re playing silly games
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
I say for heaven’s sake
Now there’s a mighty crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
You made a big mistake
Now there’s a crisis crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
I say for heaven’s sake
Now there’s a mighty crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
You made a big mistake
Now there’s a crisis crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
I see a crisis waking
I say for heaven’s sake
Now there’s a mighty crisis breaking
I feel a crisis breaking
Baja
Same old scenario
Sippin on cold campari though
Summer’s got me stinging my eye
Burning up in front of me I see a million yellow butterflies
Sun blue like indigo
Heat like I’ve never known
Fellas got that look in their eye
Burning up in front of me I see a yearning to satisfy
Dusk falls in Mexico
Where do the lovely go
Sipping on tequila I fly
Burning up in front of me I see a million yellow butterflies
See how the dust has blown
Feel like I’ve found a home
Never has my mouth felt so dry
Burning up in front of me I’ve got a thirst just intensifies
Over the border Joe
Some place where the empty folks go
Tripping in a new space and time
Sipping in the sweetest thing I call a little piece of sunshine
Night falls in Mexico
Where do all the lonely go
I got to get the ticket tonight
Ripping round in circles with a million yellow butterflies
Shame how some stories go
Tripping my dreams like dominoes
Running on some borrowed old time
Burning up inside of me I feel a need to lay down a while
Same old lethario
Same old moves and innuendoes
Slipping on your old greasy lines
Sitting with the lonely like a hundred other lonely guys
Light up my life
Light up my life
Light of my life
Light up my life
Light of my life
I roll around the rolodex
Friday’s fun but oh so complex
I made some calls now I’m climbing the walls
I’m going nowhere – I feel so vexed
I roll around the rolodex
I call again – I send one more text
I’ll give it ten, I wait an hour and then
I head for home with my pre-fab tex mex
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe a word you say
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe I heard you say
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe a word you say
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe I heard you say
I roll around my empty bed
And sleep won’t come to my sleepy head
I say your name – I say it over again
I’m going nowhere – tired I’m so stressed
I roll around my empty bed
I read a book I already read
I lay awake with my body that aches
And crazy stories mess with my head
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe a word you say
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe I heard you say
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe a word you say
Light up my life
Light of my life
I don’t believe I heard you say
Babu
Tumhari aankhon mein mei nay tare dekhay
Aur jhooti mooti batho mein pyar milay
Chulay na koi bahana kab tak karay yeh fasana
Babu yeh dil dhedho
Rakhloo sambhal kay
Babu yeh khel nahin
Baat meri manlay
Babu yeh dil dhay day
Raho mein kantay phekhay mei phool bichhao
Tum mur kay hum na dekhe Phir be bulao
Humay tho neend na aaye sumjhai ya koi na sumjhai
Babu yeh dil dhedho
Rakhloo sambhal kay
Babu yeh khel nahin
Baat meri manlay
Babu yeh dil dhay day
Drove my Chevy to the Devi
Drove a chevy cherry red
100 candles round the bed
Drank some rose and ginger juice
Can you believe it?
Sun is settin nights roll by
Can’t help but wonder why
Something’s keeping me from leaving here
I need it
Silver rings
Dirty beats
Silver rings
Dusty Street
Will it ever be the same again?
Drove a chevy cherry red
Orange flowers round the bed
In the house they built for Devi
You should see it
The lakes are running dry
Pray it rains on us tonight
Something’s telling me to stay
and I believe it
Silver rings
Dirty beats
Silver rings
Dusty Street
Will we ever be the same again?
Dreams can come true
Look at me look at the view
Mountains and minarets sunsets and you
Silver rings
Dirty beats
Silver rings
Dusty Street
Will we ever be the same again
Dreams can come true
Look at me look at the view
Mountains and minarets sunsets and you
The locusts sing and the Insect bites
The long hot days and long hot nights
Mujay Tujay
Mujay tujay kuch honay laga
Dil mera bus dolay piya
Mujhe tujhay kuch honay laga
Dil mera bus dolay piya
Aaja Aaja thoo thaam le beiyan?
Sang Sang bus leja saiyan
Aaaja Aaja thoo thaam lay beiyan
Sang Sang bus leja saiyan
Dil Dil se mile/milay
Kya phool khile
Khushboo ki hawa
Yeh raat kaa samaa
Khushi se bhurha
Kya khoab hai mera
Jaanay na jaanay
Dil Dil se milay
Kya phool khile
Kya bath bunnay?
Khushboo ki hawa
Yeh raat kaa samaa
Khushi se bhurha
Kya khoab hai mera
Broken Dream
What must I do?
I’m feeling bruised
Picking up the pieces of my broken dream
I’m feeling used
Cut up and confused
Sweeping up the remnants of this love extreme
What must I do?
Do I have to lose
Picking up the pieces of my broken dream
Meray thay thoo vaar kitha
Dil bekurar kitha
Meray thay thoo vaar kitha
Dil bekurar kitha
Ruba mein kee kura
Hai Ruba kee kura
Ruba mein kee kura
Hai Ruba kee kura
Nine Parts (Purday Kay Peechay)
What does it feel like to be on your side
So much to offer yet so much to hide
So serene – like a Queen you are raging within
A life of purity in a strange world full of sin
Purday kay Peechay
(Behind the veil)
Burns a fire
Purday kay Peechay
Nine parts of desire
Untouchable lower you gaze
So aware of all their evil ways
We’ve all known craving since time began
Temptation taking hold of modern man
Untouchable its hard to believe
Hiding away so that no-one can see
I know you’ll find all your measures in vain
They’ll all be looking at you, just the same
