HUMAN EVOLUTION
(Avsec, Ierace, Lee, McClain, Valentine)
More than a million years ago
Under the apple tree
Adam said to Eve
Honey will you marry me
She said I'm not ready Adam
To get so tied down
Why get married when we can
Just fool around
Ah fool around
CHORUS
The more things change
The more they stay the same
Human Evolution
Said the monkey to the man
Shoulda let me be
Human Evolution
Way out in the jungle
Tarzan said to Jane
Cheetah gettin' hungry
Banana on the brain
She said forget about the monkey boy
I need a microwave
I need some new clothes baby
I need a telephone
And if you don't remodel my bedroom
I'm goin' home
I'm goin' home
REPEAT CHORUS
Cromagnon and Neanderthal
Victims of circumstance
Anthony and Cleopatra
Never had a chance
Call us homosapiens
And teach us how to dance
Mixin' up our human thoughts
With animal romance
REPEAT CHORUS
STAGEDOOR JOHNNY
(Avsec, Ierace)
He's always ready
Waiting in the wings
Dreaming of all the glory
That stardom would bring
But he needs to prove it
CHORUS
Stagedoor Johnny you got soul
Gonna prove your point with your rock n' roll
Stagedoor Johnny don't be shy
Tonight's the night
Tonight's the night
It's 10:15 and the show must go on
Jerry and the Juniors
But where's Jerry gone
Up there on the stage it's
REPEAT CHORUS
He's a rocker
He's a roller
And he knows what they want
Yeah he knows what they like
And he gives it to 'em
Gives it to 'em
And the crowd goes wild
Yeah the crowd goes wild
Give 'em all you got
Give 'em all you got Johnny
Whoa-oh
REPEAT CHORUS
And when the music stops
They beg for more
This is the moment you've been waiting for
So give 'em one more Johnny
REPEAT CHORUS
CRY IF YOU WANT TO
(Avsec, Ierace)
Oh she walks out of her bedroom
With a suitcase in her hand
Past the old house there's a garage
Where they used to make their plans
Now she hopes he'll find his way back there again
CHORUS
Cry if you want to
Take a dive if you want to
Say goodbye if you want to
It's allright
You can cry if you want to
Take a dive if you want to
Say goodbye if you want to
It's allright
He's gone off to fight a battle
For a land he does not know
But the President is angry
And he must put on a show
And he thinks of her just sitting there alone
REPEAT CHORUS
TELL ME WHAT YOU WANT
(Avsec, Ierace, Lee)
Lay your cards out on the table
I feel so helpless lying here
I like to please you if I'm able
You'll have to put aside your fears
CHORUS
Tell me what you want
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
Tell me what you want
Tell me what
Tell me what you want (Tell Me)
Tell me what you want
Tell me what
Tell me what you want
I'd like to answer all your questions
I'd like to put your mind at ease
And if I might make one suggestion
(Tell me your fantasies)
Tell me all your fantasies
REPEAT CHORUS
I BELONG
(Avsec)
When I was young
I felt like I was different
Now I don't care
Only to things that
I saw in the mirror
Pimples and hair
I brushed
I scrubbed
They said boy you're ugly
Boy they were wrong
CHORUS
I belong, I belong
I belong, I belong
I belong
I belong
I belong
I was confused
I didn't know what I wanted to be
I saw this bank
I figured nobody notices me
I called my Dad
He said why aren't you in school
So you'll be a success
I said not now Dad
I just called to tell you I'm under arrest
My Mom she's schooled
She's so continental
I came
She said so long
REPEAT CHORUS
Now life in prison
Isn't quite as bad
As you think it might be
I met a girl through the Rolling Stone
She wants to marry me
I jog
I swim
I'm learning computers
And best of all
REPEAT CHORUS
SHE'S SO EUROPEAN
(Avsec, Ierace)
She was an army brat
She surfed in Waikiki
She told me she was French
But she's from Tennesee
I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock
She went to school in Rome
And wrote her friends back home
The italian boys won't leave me alone
I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock
And there's nothing that you can do
Cause she don't understand you
There's nothing that you can do
She won't understand you
CHORUS
She's so European
For an American girl
She's so European
For an American girl
R-R-R-Rock
She said a Parlez Vous
Hey hey do I know you?
Was it on the Riviera
May of '82?
I said whoa-oh-oh... oh
R-R-R-Rock
She said my father paid for me
To see the Orient
I really got a tan so it was
Worth every cent
I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock
Now you don't speak her language
So she don't understand you
If you don't speak her language
She won't understand you
REPEAT CHORUS
She said caio caio caio
I'll see you later
You better come on up and see me sometime
I said whoa-oh-oh... yeah
R-R-R-Rock
And there's nothing that you can do
Cause she don't understand you
There's nothing that you can do
She won't understand you
REPEAT CHORUS
I'M A USER
(Avsec, Ierace)
I used to be a working man
I rode the bus to the working land
Now I sit at home and I watch tv
My computer does my work for me
CHORUS
I'm a user
But I used to be a working man
I'm a user
But I used to be a working man
I sent work to the CPU
I wanna run the list I'm programmed to
I go to work 4 to 1310
Debug me fast 'fore I lose my head
REPEAT CHORUS
Bits and bytes
And chips and lights
Poke and peek and then delete
Now gosub at 917
Return to program
Clear the screen
REPEAT CHORUS
NEVER DID I
(McClain)
I don't know
How you got to me
All I know is what I feel
If I open my heart to you
Will I be left here to bleed
But I know you're not the
Kind to leave me hanging
So I'm asking for your personal advice
Show me the way
Into your heart
Help me to say
What I'm feeling
I just can't wait no more
CHORUS
Never did I
Say I love ya
Never did I
Tell ya I been blue
Never did I
Say I want ya
Never did I
Baby but I do
I was afraid to reach out for you
Turning my back on romance
Maybe you care
Maybe you don't
It may be time we took the chance
Girl you only have to look into the mirror
To see the one I'm crazy for
Show me the way
Into your heart
Happy to say
What I'm feeling
I just can't wait no more
REPEAT CHORUS
I never felt this way before
But that's all right
If this is love I need some more
So please be mine
Tonight
REPEAT CHORUS
SOMEBODY
(Avsec, Ierace)
Why does the child leave the warmth of it's mother
Why does the child leave the strength of it's father now
One day we will long for affection
But not in the usual way
(Not in the usual way)
One day we will leave those who love us
Find love in a special way
CHORUS
Gotta find somebody (Oh)
Gotta find somebody now
(Gotta find somebody)
Gotta find somebody
(I wanna find somebody)
Gotta find somebody
Gotta find somebody now
Gotta find somebody
Why does the man need the touch of a lover
(Oh Suddenly)
Suddenly there's so much to discover yeah
REPEAT CHORUS
One day we will long for affection
But not in the usual way
One day we will leave those who love us
Find love in a special way
REPEAT CHORUS
DO YOU COMPUTE?
(Avsec, Ierace)
Do I have to say it?
Don't you already know it?
Do I have to spell it out?
Don't you think I show it
Can't you see it's you I want tonight
(You have to read it)
You have to read it inbetween the lines
CHORUS
Do you compute?
What does it take to make you understand?
Do you compute?
I'm trying to tell you I'm in love with you
I ain't no good with words
No I'm no good at at talking
I'm misunderstood
Misunderstood too often
Now baby if you'll open up your eyes
(Then you will feel)
Then you will feel the way I feel inside
REPEAT CHORUS
Now baby if you'll open up your eyes
(Then you will feel)
Then you will feel the way I feel inside
REPEAT CHORUS
