Good Evening

Marshall Crenshaw Good Evening歌詞
1.You Should've Been There

(m. crenshaw, l. preston)

You should've been there as the sun went down
Colors ran all across the ground
Then a thousand stars were spinning all around
Do you care...you should've been there
I saved you place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend i had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
Chorus:
Ran into some people we used to know
They were going somewhere i didn't want to go
So i kept on waiting for just a little bit more
Not getting anywhere...you should've been there
Then i thought i saw you walking by into town
Into the crowd i went chasing you down
When i grabbed your arm...she spun around
A stranger glared...you should've been there
You should've been there
There's always so much to see in this old town
Don't you agree
But then again i never said i'd be anywhere
You should've been there
I saved you a place right by my side
And waited there in the candlelight
But the only friend i had in sight was an empty chair
You should've been there
Chorus


2.Valerie

(richard thompson)

Valerie you put me on the rack
Valerie you'll give me a heart attack
You say that i'm history
You say i'm no good
Then you want to be like two babes in the wood
That's what i wouldn't call playing to the gallery
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie
Valerie why don't you put that down
Valerie you're gonna choke and drown
If you don't give up off this junk food jag
They're gonna take you home in a body bag
I can't stand to see one more calorie
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie
Well i'm soft in the head and i give her hard cash
She spends all my money on junk and trash
Nylon fur and plastic shoes
And fifty-seven things she's never gonna use
Never, never gonna use...valerie
She's got a figure like this, lips like that
Red fingernails, teeth like a cat
I know she's going to be the ruin of me
She's got me running on nervous energy
Runnin' on nervous energy
Valerie she wants to move out of town
Valerie she wants the money down
Valerie she wants leopard skin this and tiger skin that
Matching luggage and a matching hat
I can't afford her on my salary
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie
I keep waiting, waiting, waiting for valerie


3.She Hates To Go Home

(m. crenshaw, l. preston)

Steady she goes
When she walked in time froze
Faces turned around to see
She's a glittering prize to all of the guys
Who will her next fool be?
From twilight 'til dawn
Her power stays on
Most every night is just like this
She doesn't slow down
Uptown downtown
I'll tell you what the reason is
Chorus:
You see
She hates to go home
After all the parties are over
She hates to go home
Where there is nobody to hold her
It's plain to see why it's so
Why does it ever have to be time to go
And face the darkness cold as stone
She really hates to go home
All alone
Her room will wait
No matter how late
Knowing how to lock her in
It won't set her free from what used to be
Shouldn't have, or might have been
Bolts on the door
Clothes on the floor
Tears running down the wall
Pictures so old staring so cold
Better to be anywhere at all


4.Someplace Where Love Can't Find Me

(john hiatt)

Some folks live by a big blue ocean
Some folks live in the center of town
Some folks live without any notion
Me i'm just tryin' to live your love down
I'm just tryin' to live your love down
I'm not lookin' for another
I'm just lookin' to get long gone
To someplace that no sweetheart has discovered
Someplace where memories don't hold on
Someplace where memories don't hold on
Chorus:
Somewhere the ties won't bind me
Someplace where love can't find me
Somewhere the past's behind me
Someplace where love can't find me
Someplace where love can't find me
It's the same old sad situation
Fall in love and it breaks your heart
Surely there's somewhere in this great nation
Where no one comes together just to fall apart
Where no one comes together just to fall apart
Chorus
I'm getting nowhere...i'm getting nowhere
And gettin' over it is getting so hard
I want to go there i want to go there
Before they throw my heart in a junkyard
'cause i don't have another love in me
Can't even let the last one go
Before i do it again please send me
Up to nova scotia down to mexico
Up to nova scotia down to mexico
Chorus


5.Radio Girl

(m. crenshaw, s. llanas, k. neumann)

Well i don't know what she looks like
I've never seen her face before
But i hear her on my radio
From 1a.m. till 4
She's playing all my favorite records
She tells me all the latest news
I take her into my bed each night
And she rocks away my blues
'cause she's my girl, my radio girl
Well sometimes in the middle of the night
I call her on the telephone
When i hear her voice on the other end
I don't feel all alone
Then i ask her to play that old song for me
This is a man's man's world
She always plays it right away
'cause she's my radio girl
She's my girl, my radio girl
Chorus:
Hey what's that sound
What do you call that sound
I like the stuff you play
And the things you say
Oh come on and gimmie some rock music
Or some r&b or anything you wanna play
Anything you chose
'cause your're my girl
My radio girl


6.On The Run

(m. crenshaw)

Run...i'm on the run
And it's goodby for good this time
Don't care where the road may wind
I'm gonna leave all my troubles far behind
Run...i'm on the run...just like a killer
Down the dark highway
Don't know where i've been today
Been running since she walked away
Night's fallin'...the wind's callin' her name
How did i ever get caught in this game?
No i couldn't know
'cause i've always been the trusting kind
Then one day i had to wake up and find
That i'd lost everything that i thought was mine
Gone...now i'm long gone
Little girl don't come looking round for me
Oh yes i'm gonna be wild and free
In a little while you'll be just a memory
White lines on the road keep rolling by
Try and catch me
I'll take off and fly


7.Live It Up

(isley brothers, christopher jasper)

You never want to comfort me
Knowing what you really need
You always say you've had enough
You never want to give it up
Chorus:
But everybody's got to move and
Everybody's got to groove
Everybody needs love sure enough
Everybody ought to live it up
Well what did i do that was wrong
I just want to have some fun
We've been holding back for too long
And i want to live, we've gotta live it up
I've got to ease your mind
I know i'll have a bit of luck
To make you have a good time
I've got to make you live it up


8.Some Hearts

(diane warren)

For a while i've been so unlucky
Always stumbling around in circles
But i must've stumbled into something
Look at me am i really alone with you
Now i'm loving the life i'm living
Can't recall when i last felt that way
Guess it must be all the love you're giving
Never knew, never knew it could be like this
But i guess
Chorus:
Some hearts seem to have it so easy
Some hearts have all the stars on their sides
Some hearts always get all the right breaks
And some hearts just get lucky some time
Never thought someone like you would love me
You're the last thing my heart expected
Didn't think i'd ever find somebody
Someone who makes me feel like this
Chorus (3x's)
Bridge:
Some hearts like mine get lucky
Lucky sometime


9.Whatever Way The Wind Blows

(m. crenshaw)

From now on i'm gonna do what's right
Been thinking this over for many long nights
And on this decision i'm gonna follow through
Whatever way the wind blows
I'll be around
I'll be around for you
You say the whole round world has gone thoroughly mad
It's so hard to trust in anything said
And a sense of doubt is the only thing that's true
I say whatever way the wind blows
I'll be around
I'll be around for you
Whatever wind of change goes tearing across this world
I'm always gonna be cloes beside you, girl
From now on i'm gonna do what's right
Been thinking this over for many long nights
Ever since you told me that you really loved me too
Whatever way the wind blows
I'll be around
I'll be around for you


10.Let Her Dance

(bobby fuller)

Well there she goes with a brand new love affair
Dancin' with him like she don't even care
Well let her dance with him
Let her dance all night long
Well who would've known that just yesterday
She danced with me the very same way
Well let her dance with him
Let her dance all night long
Chorus:
Well let her dance with him all night long
Ler dance to our favorite song
Well let her dance with him let her dance all night long
Well i'll find me a new love
And then she'll see
Someone else will be dancing with me
Let her dance with him
Let her dance all night long
Chorus (2x's)
