Patty Smyth( 佩蒂史麥絲 ) Greatest Hits歌詞
1.The Warrior

You run, run, runaway it's your
Heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized
Isn't love primitive a wild gift
You wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill your heart's still wild

chorus:
Shootin' at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang, I am the warrior
Yes I am the warrior
And heart to heart you win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

You talk, talk, talk to me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me, we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite

Oh, who's the hunter
Who's the game
I feel the beat call your name
I'll hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged
From the call of the wild

repeat chorus and fade


2.Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

I don't wanna lose you,
I don't wanna use you
Just to have sombody by my side
And I don't wanna hate you
I don't wanna take you
But I don't wanna be the one to cry
That don't really matter to anyone, anymore
But like a fool I keep losing my place
And I keep seeing you walk through that door

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

Now I could never change you
I don't wanna blame you
Baby you don't have to take the fall
Yes I may have hurt you
But I did not desert you
Maybe I just want to have it all
It makes a sound like thunder
It makes me feel like rain
And like a fool who will never see the truth
I keep thinking something's gonna change

But there's a danger in loving somebody too much
And its sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust
There's a reason why people don't stay where they are
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough

And there's no way home
when it's late at night and you're all alone
Are there things that you wanted to say
Do you feel me beside you in your bed
there beside you where I used to lay

And there's a Danger in Loving somebody too much
And it's sad when you know it's your heart they can't touch
There's a reason why people don't stay who they are
Cause baby sometimes love just ain't enough
Baby sometimes love just ain't enough


3.Wish I Were You

Time goes by, I fall out of touch
I can't explain why I fall so much
I bought a pack of cigarettes
Sent an old Elvis stamp to your new address
The weather's here
Wish I was fine
Wish that you could read between the lines

You dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you

I am nothing, you are more
Than flesh and blood
A golden door
Let me come inside of you
Let me do the things I wanna do
Take me down to where you live
Take the things I cannot give

'Cause you dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you.

(Bridge)
You are like the ocean
I'm a river that's run dry
If you cannot reach me
All my wild flowers they will die

Take me down to where you live
Take the things I cannot give.

You dream in colors
My night comes in black and blue
I'll send a postcard
Oh, how I wish that I were you.


4.Carnival Lights


5.Love's Got A Line On You


6.Goodbye To You

Those times I waited for you seem so long ago
I wanted you far too much to ever let you go
You know you never got by your fear to choose
And I guess I never could stand to lose
It's such a pity to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

'Cause baby it's over now
No need to talk about it
It's not the same
My love for you's just not the same
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love won't stand the pain
And my heart, and my heart
And my heart can't stand the strain
And my love, and my love
And my love...

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Now, could I have loved someone like the one I see in you
Yeah, I remember the good times baby now, and the bad times too
These last few weeks of holding on
The days are dull, the nights are long
Guess it's better to say

Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to you

Goodbye baby
So long darling
Goodbye to you


7.I Should Be Laughing

Somewhere in a scrap book
There's a rose you gave to me
And the photograph thats torn in half
And all thats left is me
Live happily ever after
That came after I was gone
And they tell you that you can't go back
Then why can't I go on?

When should be laughin' at this joke
Dressed up as love, diguised as hope
And isn't funny after all this time
A tear is fallin' when I should be laughin'

Sunsets are like a painting, windows like a frame
When night comes in and I begin
To see it all again

'Cuz I should be laughing at this joke
The damage done the words I spoke
And isn't funny after all this time
Regret can find me when I should be laughin'
I should laughin' at life
And all of the tricks that it plays
I should be laughing at time
And how fast its slippin' away

Somewhere in a scrap book
There's a rose you gave to me
And with one last look
I close the book
And let the past just be

When should be laughin' at this joke
Dressed up as love, diguised as hope
And isn't funny after all this time
A tear is fallin' when I should be laughin'


8.Downtown Train

Outside another yellow moon
Punched a hole in the nighttime, yeah
I climb through the window and down to the street
I'm shining like a new dime
The downtown trains are full
With all those Brooklyn girls
They try so hard to break out of their little worlds

You wave your hand and they scatter like crows
They have nothing that'll ever capture your heart
They're just thorns without the rose
Ooh, be careful of 'em in the dark
Oh if I was the one
You chose to be your only one
can't you hear me now
can't you hear me now

Will I see you tonight
Ooh, on a downtown train
Every night it's just the same
You leave me lonely, now

I know your window; I know it's late
I know your stairs and your doorway
I walk down your street and past your gate
I stand by the light at the four way
You watch them as they fall
And they all catch heart attacks
They stay at the carnival, Baby
But they'll never win you back

Will I see you tonight
Baby, on a downtown train
Every night, every night, is just the same
You leave me lonely, now
Will I see you tonight
Ooh, on a downtown train
All my dreams just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train

Will I see you tonight
Baby, on a downtown train
Every night, every night, it's just the same
You leave me lonely, now

Will I see you tonight
On a downtown train
All my dreams just fall like rain
All upon a downtown train
Ooo-oo-ooooh-ooh Ooo-wo-ooooh


9.The River Cried

I took a walk today through these grey
and dirty streets
Thinking of you, missing you,
and hoping that we'd meet
I didn't tell my legs where to go
They just walked down to the dock
I sat on the edge fighting a shiver
Telling everything I hurt inside
CHORUS:
And the river cried 'cause I lost your love
The river cried, oh
The river cried for my lonely soul
The river cried
You were the only one who really knew me
You were the only one in whom I'd confide
And hearing this
The river cried
I saw myself today through these grey
and dirty streets
Did you have to leave this town
or did you just have to leave me?
All these questions echo in my mind
Why didn't I see the signs?
The river keeps flowing, I can't keep going
Waiting for you to return my sigh.
CHORUS


10.Everyone Gets Older


11.Say What You Will


12.Beat Of A Heart


13.Heartache Heard Round The World

I'm no angel, it's hard to hide,
Got a rebel mouth and a ticket to ride
I'm no angel, but I'm not so tough
The boys in the town are gonna treat you rough

They're all heroes in the darkness
When they talk in the street
They can make anything dirty
That's supposed to be sweet

I'm no angel, not a slave to love
But this pain in my heart, it fits me like a glove
The world keeps turning, I can't stand still
Something gonna save me, I know it will

And I hear it in the darkness
When I let myself go
I can hear it in my heart
And I just wanna know

CHORUS:
What's that sound, well it knocked me down
I wanna be a rock 'n' roll girl
What's that sound
It's a heartache heard round the world
If it calls and it calls every boy and girl
It's a heartache heard round the world
What's that sound
It's a heartache heard round the world

I'm not crazy, well maybe I am
'Cause I just wanna sing like Bobby Blue Bland
And if I'm dreaming don't you wake me up
'Cause life's too short and I can't get enough

I feel it in the darkness
When I let myself go
There's just something inside us
And I just wanna know

CHORUS

Can you hear it in the darkness
When you let yourself go
I can hear it in my heart
And I just wanna know

CHORUS


14.Isn't It Enough

Sometimes I'd like to quit you
and find somebody who
Don't know me quite as well
Yeah like a gypsy she would be my jewel
Spend my days in her lovin' spell
But baby I fit you like a worn-out glove
You know I ain't going nowhere
There ain't nothing we can't rise above
We've still got a lifetime to share

CHORUS:
Isn't it enough that I still love you
Isn't it enough to make you stay
Don't make me suffer baby
Don't throw it all away

Now I know you're tired and feelin' all alone
I know what you're going through
I'll satisfy your fire but I'm not made of stone
Tell me what more can I do

CHORUS

Now can you look in my eyes and tell me
there's nothing there
You know I've compromised enough
to show I care
So isn't it enough

Sometimes I'd like to quit you
and find somebody who
Don't know me quite the same
But it took so long just to get this far
I'll be damned if I'll do it again

REPEAT CHORUS TO END


15.No Mistakes

The summer is gone I can't believe
It went so fast
Why do only the cold and lonely times
Seem to last
Now it's late at night I watch you
Sleepin, I wanna wake you up
And tell you I'm sorry, though I know
I can't make it up
I made my mistakes now baby
But I did the best I could
It takes what it takes and sometimes
It takes longer than it should
To just live the kind of life that
We both have been dreaming of
There are No Mistakes in love

I walk through a fire in my dreams
Just to pull you through
But when I'm awake sometimes it seems
I'm just so hard on you
Baby a change has got to come
And I can't see
After another winter's gone
Well who's gonna rescue me

There are No Mistakes now baby
We did the best we could
It takes what it takes and sometimes
It takes much more time than it should
To just to make the choices that we both
Have been dreaming of
There are No Mistakes in love

The nights are much colder now
I feel the need to have you near
Maybe we could start all over
I feel a change the air

There are No Mistakes now baby
We did the best we could
It takes what it takes and sometimes
And sometimes it's so hard to understand
And just take the changes that we all
Have been dreaming of
There are No Mistakes in love
There are No Mistakes in love
Oh there are No Mistakes in love...
