Doll Revolution

The Bangles( 手鐲合唱團 ) Doll Revolution歌詞
1.Tearing Off Your Own Head

Who dries your eyes when you cry real tears?
Who knows or cares what an imitation is?
(Only you do)
You can paint his nails
Make him wear high heels
Why waste time altering the hemline
(Only you do)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
You can bat your lashes
You can cut your strings
Pull out his hair with your moveable fingers
(It looks so real)
But one won't do it so collect the set
Dress him up in pink ribbons
Put him in a kitchenette
(How does this feel?)
Tear Off Your Own Head
Tear Off Your Own Head
It's a doll revolution
It'll turn you around
It's a doll revolution
They're taking over
and they're tearing it down
It's a doll revolution
It's a doll revolution


2.Stealing Rosemary

If you need me
I'll be here
On my knees
On my knees
In the neighbor's garden
Where the light is growing long
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
It's the tiny lies I tell
For you to please
You to please
Early in the morning
When the light is growing strong
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
I'm Stealing Rosemary

Flowers crushing on my skin
Tuscan Blue
All for you
Caught in rain and running
Home to you
I'm coming home
Stealing Rosemary for you, my love
I'm stealing Rosemary for you, my love
Stealing Rosemary


3.Something That You Said

Everything in a moment starting where
Something you said is hanging in the air
Now I know my life is sweetening
Changing everything
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I have dreamed about
And I feel so real
And it feels so right...
Showing you every weakness
And feeling strong for it
I used to run from real love
Now I long for it
Now I know what I've been missing
Since I've been listening
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Got through to me tonight
Never so far you can't call me back
I'm never more than a single kiss away

And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I had dreamed about
And I feel so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Lying in my bed
Whispering your name out loud
And I feel so real
And it feels so right

Something that you said
Turned me from the inside out
Running through my head
Something I had dreamed about
And it feels so real
And it feels so right
Something that you said


4.Ask Me No Questions

If I told you I don't mind
Would you believe me?
If I say to you, you're not my kind
Do I deceive you with this fragile disguise?
Ask me no questions
I will tell you no lies
If you could read my heart I would not deny
So I pretend

All these tears on my face don't imply
That I'm not happy just to see you with her
One small voice that will never be heard
I'm in love with you
Oh, I'm in love with you
But I turn away when you look in my eyes
Ask me no questions I'll tell you no lies
I'm in love with you


5.The Rain Song

I don't think about us much anymore
Frankly, the topic has become a bore
And you don't come up much in my conversation
I don't think about you on vacation
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
I don't think about you when I'm sleeping
It doesn't even cross my dreamlike mind
I don't think I see your face through the curtains
Hell, I don't even miss you half the time
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
I'm doing fine as long as you stay locked up
Inside a cloud of grey
Rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
Rain, rain, rain
But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains

But when it rains
When it rains
When it rains
That's when I remember
That's when I remember
I remember you
I remember you
Well that's when I remember
The only time I remember
When I remember you


6.Nickel Romeo

Hey Sugar I had that dream again
I saw you in your red crushed velvet suit
Rolling on my feather bed
A Cheshire cat in yellow Beatle boots
(but) who's that stranger lying in your arms
Her fingers running down your tattooed chest
Valentino's cranking up the charm
And it's coming like a freight train
These pictures in my head
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey, hey Mister
Tell me mister, what's your game?
Falling, yes she will fall
Your latest victim bites her lip and sighs
She's do these nasty things for you
Insinuating kisses on the sly
Oh I remember how you get your kicks
Preying on the innocent at night
Strange desperation-you gotta cop that fix
Making every little girl is keeping you alive
Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
Tell me mister, what's your game
Oh Nickel Romeo you got no shame

Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
Tell me mister, what's your game?

Hey Mister Nickel Romeo
Everybody knows your name
Hey hey Mister
You're the master of this game
Because you got no shame
I think I'm going insane
And you're to blame...


7.Ride the Ride

Take all of the money
Take all of the sweet plum of the pie
Don't say that you love me
Don't say it's for me it's a lie
Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride

Blowing a smokescreen
Never looking at me in the eye
You make it look easy
For someone afraid of falling to fly

Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride, ride the ride

Take all of the money
Take all you believe is the prize
Just leave me a moment
Just leave a bright piece of the sky

Now you got yourself so wrapped up in it
All you gotta do is wait a minute
All you gotta do is ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride, ride the ride
Ride the ride, ride the ride, ride the ride


8.I Will Take Care Of You

When the daylight disappears
When you're haunted, I'll be near
When the shadows come to call
When you're too scared to stand tall
I can stand tall
Dream and let your dreams go
It's your turn to fly
Long as I'm standing by
You can close your eyes
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
Don't you worry, while you sleep
All my love is yours to keep
All you wish for, all you know
Will be yours when you let go
You can let go
Smile, if you can now
Smile through your tears
Here where your fears are known
Know you're safe at home
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you
I will take care of you
Long as you want me to
Whatever else I do
I will take care of you...


9.Here Right Now

Head in the clouds you never touch the ground
You're in such a hurry
You might lose what you've found
Uptown spinning 'round
Never stop to hear a sound
Stand back and take a look around you
Running from the pressures of a restless world
Hush for a moment, baby, just be still
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you
There's no place better than
Here right now

Meet me where icebergs melt in the sun
Let all the ties that bound you come undone
Open up.you're alive
I miss the fire in your eyes
Give a sign, tell me that you want me
When your overwhelming life becomes too much
Take another breath and you will see
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you there's no place better than
Here right now
Here right now
Remember when we laughed and carried on
Long before the madness had begun
Here now
Spend a minute next to me
Slow down
Take the time to let it be
I wanna show you
There's no place better than
Here right now
Here right now
Here right now


10.Single By Choice

Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
I know what you're thinking
She can't be complete
'Til the right kind of man
Come sweep her off her feet
Well I've been there before
Times four or times five
With the right kind of man
Barely made it out alive
Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
Alone but not lonely
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice
I know what you're thinking
She can't be complete
'Til the right kind of man
Come sweep her off her feet
Well I've been there before
Times four or times five
With the right kind of man
Got love in my day
And I don't waste one moment
Wishing it awya

Single by choice, single by choice
Single by choice, single by choice

Single by choice
Never marry, never ever divorce
Listen to the solitary voice
Tell you I'm single by choice

Single by choice, single by choice
Single by choice, single by choice


11.Lost At Sea

Can we try to salvage what we can
From the weight of water and sand
And lifts us up again
Well this world is spinning out of control
I'm bracing just to keep hold
As the clouds move in
With a driving wind so strong
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far

What a lonely way to be
Lost at sea
Like a star in a night filled with tears
Make the sadness disappear
'Cause you're all that I hold dear
Well you walk
Never ever looking back
One defends and one attacks
There's a thousand reasons to begin again
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Take my hand, come to me
Save a life, rescue you, rescue me

Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far
Could it be that we're lost at sea
And we're drowning under the stars
Up to me I would ride this wave
Before we drift too far


12.Song For A Good Son

A summer's day so long ago
A thousand boats dancing on the bay
I came to you inside a dream
We both held hands and fell into the water
You never claimed to know me well
The dark-eyed son, the privileged man
You fond me bitter, you thought me cold
Well now I'm gonna make you understand
My mother died, my father cried
He left me lonely by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
If I follow, maybe I will find her

Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away

Beyond the salt and spray
The current carried her away

I can't outrun my destiny
Tell me who will sing a song for me
Darkness darkness cover me
By my own hands the way it has to be
My mother died my father cried
You will find me by the waterside
Waterside so deep and wide
If I follow, maybe I will find her
If I follow, maybe I will find her


13.Mixed Messages

You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
When I get too close to you
I feel the fear, can almost hear it
Then you call me late at night saying can I be with you
I wanna be with you
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you
You keep your thoughts to yourself
You keep me guessing while we're undressing
Then you're gone for days on end and
Here we go again
Here we go again
You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you

It can't keep bouncing around like this
You cut me loose then pull me in for a kiss
If you know what you want
Why don't you tell me, clearly
Wonder why it bothers me
I wonder why I even wonder why

If I had another lover, well, would it get to you
Would I get through
This puzzle of mixed messages
Mixed messages, that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you

You're sending me mixed messages
Mixed messages that I can hardly work through
Where the heart lies
Which message is coming truly from you


14.Between the Two

Oh my love you say this is the end
I'll tell you it's the hardest thing
I've ever had to do my friend

But I'll go
I'll do what you say
But when I walk
I will walk away from you

And the dark place you come from
The hurt you share between the two
Run now, hide what you know to be the truth

But you know
I will walk away
I'll pretend
I don't feel something breaking
Look at yourself
it does no good to cry
It's not forever

But hey, you think that I'm so strong
You think I've got it all
Maybe you're wrong

So go
I'll do what you say
But when I walk I will walk away

Hey hey
I'll do what you say
I'll pretend
I don't feel something breaking...


15.Grateful

I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
There's so much more than we can see
There's so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I play this guitar, sing these songs
It changes me, instantly
Love is too simple a word
For here comes the sun in the morning
Suddenly happiness
Comes rolling out from inside me
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
I carry you up in my arms
Hear you sing yourself to sleep
The sky opens up over your room
You sail into your moonlight dreams
There's so much more than we can see
There's so much more than we can see
All we are and all we need is
All we are and all we need is
All we are is all we need to be
Grateful, oh grateful
Grateful, oh grateful
(All we are and all we need is)
(All we are and all we need is...)


16.Getting Out Of Hand

A friend told me yesterday
You've been looking for me
If I've been staying out of your way
I've done it intentionally

Saw you walking with her (walking with her)
Always kept that few steps behind, yeah
Wonder if she knows for sure (she knows for sure)
Her man's going on walking the line

Then I say to myself: beware!
It's getting out of hand (out of hand)
It's getting out of hand (don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah.

Look me right in the eye
Tell me I'm the one that you love
Right back into your lies
Forgetting how determined I was

Then I say to myself: beware!
It's getting out of hand (out of hand)
It's getting out of hand (don't look now)
It means loving you is like being true
You've got another woman, yeah

A friend told me yesterday, hey


17.Call On Me

Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
And you know that you can call on me

You'll wish you were dead
Take a breath instead
Yeah, take a piece of everything you see

And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah

Your head's spinning round
Your folks bring you down
But you know that you can call on me

And you know that the world was made for you
Life's in shape, so what're you gonna do
Your eyes are painted blue
Look again, you see it's true, yeah

Well, if you're feeling down
You know I'll be round
As you know that you can call on me

Call on me
Call on me (call on me)
Call on me (call on me)
