Lolita

Would you be mine? Would you be my baby tonight? Could be kissing my fruit punch lips in the bright sunshine Cause I like you quite a lot, everything you got Don’t you know? It’s you that I adore Though I make the boys fall like dominoes Kiss me in the d-a-r-k dark tonight (D-a-r-k, do it my way) Kiss me in the p-a-r-k park tonight (P-a-r-k, let them all say) Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey! I know what the boys want, I’m not gonna play Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey! Whistle all you want, but I’m not gonna stay No more skipping rope Skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown Just you and me feeling the heat Even when the sun goes down

I could be yours, I could be your baby tonight Topple you down from your sky 40 stories high Shining like a God, can’t believe I caught you and so Look at what I bought, not a second thought - oh, Romeo

Kiss me in the d-a-r-k dark tonight I want my cake and I want to eat it too I want to have fun and be in love with you I know that I’m a mess with my long hair And my suntan, short dress, bare feet I don’t care what they say about What they say about me Because I know that it’s l-o-v-e You make me happy, you make me happy And I never listen to anyone (Let them all say!) Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey! I know what the boys want, I’m not gonna play Hey Lolita, hey! Hey Lolita, hey! Whistle all you want, but I’m not gonna stay No more skipping rope Skipping heartbeats with the boys downtown Just you and me feeling the heat Even when the sun goes down


JFK You smell like a million roses bathed in rock n roll Ours was the greatest love story ever told Throat like an angel with a voice that was made of gold That’s my baby He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall A heart that would beat like a bass for his baby doll One in a million, inimitable soul That’s my baby Young or old, summer or cold Young or old, summer or cold You’ve got a way like JFK when you do it The way that you move it Spins me around like a record, baby And you’ve got a soul like no one I know You’re so new at it The way you see through that shit Breaks my heart and it drives me crazy

He was the king of the town with a crown that would never fall A heart like a bass that would beat for his baby doll Mind like a diamond, an inimitable song That’s my baby It drives me crazy… You’ve got it and I want it Late summer nights in July, flaunt it You know that you can always come home to the one who gave you your name ‘Cause I see a light in your eyes It’s so bright and the skies, they open wide for you So come to me, my baby It drives me crazy… It drives me crazy… Crazy…

Our kind of love It was once in a lifetime It couldn’t last It was doomed from the first time And you Were ‘50s cool In blue suede shoes But it was a cover For all of the trouble You got into I always fall for the wrong guy Things that are bad always taste nice That’s what girls like me do, lose you Don’t tell me it’s over (x2) Hollywood’s dead Elvis is crying Vicious in flames Roland is dying And in the light you’re Sickeningly beautiful Say goodbye you’re Sickeningly beautiful This kind of life


HOLLYWOOD’S DEAD

Wasn’t meant for the good girls Try as I might In the end It’s a cruel world And you Are living proof Sinatra aloof But you were an actor Who only went after The ones who swooned

That I always loved you There’s no one above you, babe Don’t tell me it’s over (x2) Hollywood’s dead Elvis is crying Lennon wake up Cobain stop lying In the light you’re Sickeningly beautiful Say goodbye you’re Sickeningly beautiful Say goodnight you’re So beautiful Hollywood’s dead (x3) Yeah (x2) Cut
