Lyrics van Steve Wynn
Aa
By: Steve Wynn
He shacked up with a girl that he met down at the AA
She used to be a dancer by the San Francisco Bay
Shaking and grinding for 27 dollars a day
and he shacked up with a girl that he met down at the AA
Every night they're fighting the neighbours just sit and pray
Waiting for the day when they finally move away
The landlord doesn't care, the cops have little to say
and he shacked up with a girl that he met down at the AA
No no no, no one wants to die, no one wants to fade away
He thinks of all the things that he can't recall today
The silence is deafening, the walls have nothing to say
just him and the girl that he met down at the AA
He shacked up with a girl that he met down at the AA
She used to be a dancer by the San Francisco Bay
Now she was shaking and grinding for 27 dollars a day
He shacked up with a girl that he met down at the AA
Hey hey
na na na na na
I said: my my, hey hey, my my, hey hey, my my, the AA

Animation
By: Steve Wynn
Would you like to see me do my best impression?
of animated dreams and understated self-expression?
Isn't it just enough to know that he was there?
Since when did sincerity get you anywhere?
Would you like to hear another explanation
of elevated love and phantom degradation
A man like me, never likes to plead
Tell me anything, everything you need
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You can see the way
you always looked to me
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You'll only see
what I want to let you see
Pull down the sheet
that keeps you on your side
I'll paint your face
if you really want to hide
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You can see the way
you always looked to me
When I fill in the colors
fill in the colors
You'll only see
what I want to let you see

Conspiracy of the Heart
Faded dreams and buried schemes
They never worried me
Promises lost and secrets tossed
They have no remedy
Yeah, you can lay your head
Down in the ground
Or move on with me, yeah
Photographs fade easily
They need to be locked away
I don't ask much of anything but conspiracy
Conspiracy of the heart, of the heart
Well, we made mistakes before
And I know that we'll make them all again
That I can take all that along the way
'Cause I know that from here on out
That you will always be my friend
Well, it's yesterday, today and tomorrow
Another bend in the road
Photographs fade easily
They need to be locked away
I don't ask much of anything but conspiracy
Conspiracy of the heart, of the heart
And there's so many things that try to pull us apart
And there's so many things to deny
But it gets harder everyday to find the love in our hearts
It's not easy but I'll try
Photographs fade easily
They need to be locked away
I don't ask much of anything but conspiracy
Conspiracy of the heart
Photographs fade easily
Photographs fade easily, fade, fade away
Photographs fade easily, oh
Photographs fade easily, fade away, yeah, yeah

Gospel #1
By: Steve Wynn
The lion and the monkey
were walking through the jungle
till the light they were seeking
wasn't there no more, hey-hey
hey-hey!
The monkey said:
"Leo we're a team that's right"
The lion licked his chops
and then he set to bite, hey-hey
hey-hey
It's all been said before
I don't take it as gospel no more
The lady and the lover
were talking to each other
with satin kisses
and candy corn, hey-hey,
hey-hey
Five years later
there's pain and resentment
and a stony silence
about as thick as mud, hey-hey
hey-hey
It's all been said before
I don't take it as gospel no more
Me and the governor
were talking with each other
about the power of one man
to change the world, hey-hey
hey-hey
Two months later
I was taken by surprise
when the governor put his vote
on the other side, hey-hey
hey-hey
It's all been said before
I don't take it as gospel no more
no more
I don't take it no more

If You Should Ever Need A Fool
By: Steve Wynn & Jon Klages
From: It's Too Late To Stop Now (KCRW Radio broadcast, july 1988)
If you ever
if you should ever need a fool
and if you ever
need a place you can run to
I will hold you in my arms
shelter you from harm
what else could I do
I would be there
if you should ever need a fool
if you ever
need a place that you can hide
and if you ever
need a place that's warm inside
I will rise up to the call
no questions asked at all
what else could I do
I will be there
if you should ever need a fool
(guitar)
I would rise up to the call
no questions asked at all
what else could I do
I would be there
if you should ever need a fool (4X)

It Only Comes Out At Night
By: Steve Wynn
I know it's time for leaving
I don't wanna look in your eyes
You say: "I never noticed you anyway"
So it should come as no surprise
I can hear you leave
I guess it's alright
You say that I got no heart
but it only comes at night
They say, don't know what you have
Today it ain't what you've got
They say I'll find out how much I miss you
But you know that I'd rather not
Now it's time for leaving
It's gonna be alright
You say that I got no heart
but it only comes at night
You say I'll never find another
to love me like you do
But what good is some kind of lover
Who would do, do those things to you?
Don't go by that door
I'll get it myself
soon as you're leaving
is replaced by someone else
I don't wanna see you
don't turn on the lights
You say that I never saw anything
but it only comes out at night

James River Incident
By: Steve Wynn
After 47 days they left well enough alone. The cops and the reporters
have
all gone home. All that's left is legends and stories to be told.
Tired of
all the questions. Tired of all the calls. Tired of explaining myself
against the wall. Funny how tragedy brings out the best in everyone. *
Standing on the shoreline, burning candles in the rain. I don't wanna
hear
that garbage anymore. Watching all the flowers as they're rolling down
the
James. The dead can rest forevermore if the creek don't rise again. *
Love
burns brightest all dressed up in black with summertime just around the
bend.
You handle your grief and I'll deal with mine. We'll all get along
just
fine. * After 47 days they left well enough alone. The cops and the
reporters have all gone home. All that's left is legends and stories to
be
told. And I know that they're out there. I know they're watching me
and
they wait for me to give myself away. But there's just a few secrets
between
the river and me.

That's The Way Love Is
By: Norman Whitfield/Barret Strong
After bitter tears have fall form your eyes
1000 times you ask yourself why
The one guy you love have departed
And now you're left alone and broken hearted
Love it comes and it goes
How long it's gonna last nobody knows
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is)
That's the way love is, sugar
(That's the way love is)
That's how it is
I know you're waling down a lonesome road
And you're heart is carrying a heavy load
You feel like you ain't got a friend
And your whole world is caving in
A 1000 times you've been told
You better forget him now that his gone
Don't you know baby
That's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is)
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is)
That's how it is
That's how it is
Let me tell you
The road to love is rough sometimes
Don't let it get the best of you
I've been hurt by a love so many times
So I know what you're going through
You wish that you were never born
You better forget him now that he's gone
Don't you know baby
That's the way love is, baby
(That's the way love is)
That's the way love is, honey
(That's the way love is)
That's how it is
That's how it is

The Boxing Song
By: Steve Wynn
Joe Louis, Gene Tonney,
hard knocks, easy money
took 2 million to take a dive
and Las Vegas paid out eleven to five
Jerry Cooney, Sonny Liston
wasn't firing on every piston
took five and threw in the towel
and another wrong taken from Valhalla
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive
Sugar Ray, Marvelous Marvin,
the line judge wasn't all that charming
took 2 million to fall down
and Las Vegas set the word all over town
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down
ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive
Joe Louis, Gene Tonney,
hard knocks, easy money
took 2 million to take a dive
and la la la la la Las Vegas paid a million to five
Go down, go down, go down, go down
Go down, go down, go down, go down
ain't no mistaking, everybody's taking a dive
walking home ah ha ha ha

The Subject Was Roses
By: Steve Wynn
Somebody slammed on the table to say we was finished
Well, that was alright 'cause our good sense had long since diminished
And everyone was blind from staring way down past their noses
The old times were swinging again, the subject was roses
The newspaper man said you're crazy to let it go sour
He said I was singing your praises last night in the shower
But a fool is a fool when he starts believing his poses
The glasses were drained again, the subject was roses
two-three-four
He reached for his wallet and started to show me a picture
I reached for my bible and started to read from "Scripture"
Yeah, but he didn't laugh, I guess I stepped on his toe-ses
The peak was passing us by, the subject was roses
and they say:
A fool and his money soon got to say goodbye
But a drunk and his memories splits when he starts getting high
There's nothing to worry from the past when you get right down to it
You'll do what you do and you do so you just got to do it
and I'll do whatever the situation proposes
and I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses
Yeah, I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses
Yeah, I'll call it a night the next time the subject is roses

The Woodshed Blues
By: Steve Wynn
Johnny 'whooped' and threw up his hands
and said it doesn't get much better than this
Janey found a tarnished heart
and threw me a desparate kiss
And I was trying every lock
to try to find a key that would fit
I grabbed my hat, picked up my shoes
collected everything I could use
and I made my way out alive with the Woodshed Blues
Johnny kneeled and measured his feet
for the idiot's hall of fame
Janey shined a tarnished heart
and told Cupid to take game
and I raised a toast to Peggy Lee
'cause there had to be more to this game
I grabbed my hat, picked up my shoes
collected everything I could use
and I made my way out alive with the Woodshed Blues
I grabbed my hat, picked up my shoes
collected everything I could use
and I made my way out alive with the Woodshed Blues
Johnny finally got a clue
and he headed far around the bend
and Janey put away her heart
and moved in with a very good friend
and I put my toes in the water
and I jumped back in again
I got my hat, picked up my shoes
collected everything I could use
and I made my way out alive with the Woodshed Blues
