B-Sides
All Around Me
time I look at that expression printed on the page,
I think I hear you,
Whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly,
So baby come on, yeah, so baby come on,
Now I've been running circles around the notion that you find me, baby,
One day maybe.
But all the psychic powers of suggestion I've been sending your way,
So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
I want your perfume, all around me,
I like the way you move,
And do the funky groove.
All around me I want you.
All around me I need you.
All around me I want you.
All around me.
So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
I want your perfume, all around me,
I like the way you move,
And do the funky groove.
Like good cold chardonnay chilled for a day,
You're smooth and crisp and on display.
Like Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace,
In the middle of the night you kiss so long.
You're the only good thing when all is wrong.
You're a magic time reversal clock.
You're fries on the side, with cherry on top.
You're sleek, velvet, gold lame, patent leather, enchante,
You're a legend, you're a glamour queen.
God, I'm running out of words but you know what I mean ...
All around me I want you.
All around me I need you.
All around me I want you.
So can't you hear me say?
I want your arms all around me,
I want your face, yeah, all around me,
I want your perfume, all around me,
I like the way you move,
And do the funky groove.
So slide into your Jaguar, or Porsche baby, there you are.
Well chop chop, darling, au revoir.
Pick up your things, you're a star.

Fire Inside the Man
Oh Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.
Whenever I feel like just giving up
Whenever my dreams just fade away
I just return to my hear 'cause I know that I'll find you there
yes I will.
And when the world is closing in
you come save me once again.
'Cause oh Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.
Well, there's never been a boy who's luckier
there's never been more grateful man
And although I don't show it and
I know what I've got with you
yes I do.
'Cause oh Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.
And if there's storm that's close at hand
you'll push it away, you'll understand
And I'll do anything
just to please you
I'll do anything just to know that I can hold on to you.
Whenever I feel like just giving up
Whenever my dreams just fade away
I just return to my hear 'cause I know that I'll find you there
yes I will.
'Cause oh Woman I need it
oh woman I need it
oh woman I need it
I need it
I need your guiding hand
Oh Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.
'Cause oh Woman I need your guiding hand
show me the way to the promised land
the fever that burns in my heart
you're the fire inside the man
yes you are.

I'll Bet He Was Cool
You know every once in a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
I like to talk about Jesus Christ
'Cause I wonder what would happen in He passed you by
Would you be scared?
Would you believe in Him?
Would you bust your asses to get Him institutionalized
Well, I'll bet He'd be cool
I bet He'd be damn good looking
I bet that He smelt divine
I'm not talking about Calvin Klein's Obsession
Just one of those people smell good all the time
There's no reason why
What would He wear
Would He wear Tommy Hilfiger?
Or prefer Urban Outfitted?
I don't think so
Well, I bet He liked Gaultier
But you'd never find him in it
I bet He liked Gaultier
Lord I need your protection, spend some time in my direction
I need you protection, spend some time in my direction
I need you protection, spend some time in my direction
You know every once in a while
I shoot the breeze I spend my time
I talk about silly things
I like to talk about Jesus Christ
'Cause I wonder what would happen in He passed you by
I bet He'd be a star
I bet my Star Wars figures He would be a movie star
A Quentin Tarantino next-big-thing
Prima donna, then He'd appear on Oprah
You know what? I don't think so
Could you imagine him hanging Piccadilly Circus
Times Square, the walk of fame
At Christie's He could easily become a regular
D'you know what? I don't think so
I bet my speeder bike He'd turn his back on all that
Lord I need your protection, spend some time in my direction
I need you protection, spend some time in my direction
I need you protection, spend some time in my direction
Some people have just got it
You know like standing next to Elvis Presley
Well then multiply that feeling by one million and you know
what I'm talking about
Well I'll bet He was cool
Man I bet that cowboy was so damn good looking

Love Can Move You
Get me through the heart of the freeway
Got to see the lights up in New York City
I'm so close I think I can hear the sound of the taxi siren symphony
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby, you know I do
You get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me
Love can move you, take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life
Climbing to the heart of the subway
Creepin' like a snake into New York City
I'm so close I think I can see those lights
Let the sun get closer to the ground
Don't you want to feel amazing?
Baby, you know I do
You get back ten times what you give freely
Like my mamma told me
Love can move you, take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life
And I breathe the love you've given
And I feel the love you've hidden
And though it's cold down here, well I can honestly say
I can still say
That love can move you
That love can move you too, child
Love can move you, take you deeper every time
Can make the darkest moments feel like heaven's come alive
Love can move you to a place inside your heart
Where you can fear no evil and acceptance is a natural part of life

This Side of Me
I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
And I want to know you feel like this
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just this one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I want to feel your hand in mine
And I want to feel that rush in my spine
I want to wear the scent of you
And do all the things you want me to
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just this one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
I feel the danger, the separation
I want to take your invitation
This separation it's all around
I need this side of me
I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stitch my clothes in sin
And in the dark
I want to find that door and go within
For this one time, one time
Let my body do what it feels
For just this one time, one time
Let this fantasy become real
Because I am not afraid to let you see this side of me

Memories Are Designed to Fade
I'd never let you down when you're in a fix
I'd come running when you call
That's my weakness, baby
So connected are we
You get your kicks from the ghost of
a memory
So busy turning away from reality, baby
That you just won't let go
But memories fade
Yeah, they're designed that way
But you're so wrapped in her, you
don't see straight
Watch her mangle the truth while you take the bait
So tell her, can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need
This thing you're using is worse than
a photograph
It pick you up and it turns you inside out now baby
And it just won't let you go
But memories fade
Yeah, they're designed that way
She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of, baby
So tell her, can't you see?
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need
But memories fade
'Cause they're designed that way
She doesn't love you anymore
Maybe she did long ago
You're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of, baby
So tell her, can't you see?
You're just turning yourself
You're just turning yourself inside out for no need
You're just turning yourself inside
out for no need
