grace jones - crack attack

You stand there, stutter, brains like butter,
You dissed your father, sister, your mother,
Times have tried too hard to your answer to give up instead of
live up,
To the stance of a man, understand that I'm a right hand,
Five out of five will die, from crack and on my left the birth
the same and the same birth (?),
The kid once did and now his death is echoed around the world
for all to hear,
So let's have a merry new year
Yo Grace, school 'em.

They're lost now, taken over, crack attack,
They're lost now, taken over, crack attack,

There's a little boy who lives down the way,
I heard he's crazy from crack in his brain,
He's lost now, he's taken over, crack attack,
Lost now, taken over, crack attack,
Don't do it,cheap high,say no! (echoes).

Though I wonder who is to blame,
All this epidemic is driving me insane, all of it,
I see the kids dying in the streets,
Whoever makes one, they're going lose his way,
Lost know, taken over, crack attack,
They're lost now, taken over, crack attack.

Stuck in the middle, and don't know where to go,
They've got so now, they're living for the blow,
They get it babe, doing it for the thrill,
It's so insane, such danger for a thrill,
Lost now, they're taken over, crack attack,
Don't do it, cheap high, break the tie.

You can turn it over, you can take control,
you want your mind, your body and soul,
Don't you let crack put you in a hole,
You've done without and you can do it now.

Said crack attack, crack attack, crack attack,
Don't do it, say no!, give it up,
Lost now, lost now...lost now, taken over crack attack, crack
attack,
Taken over, crack attack, crack attack,
Lost now...give it up, give it up, taken over.

grace jones - victor should have been a jazz musician

I went to a concert, to see Nina, Simone,
The concert was over, there was still a band playing, the rap
up,

The "booguh" played with his hands, I close my eyes,
and look at him,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,
I said to myself, Victor should have been a jazz musician,

I looked at his face, and I saw Victor, looked at his smile, and
I saw Victor,
I looked at his hair, and thought,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,
Victor should have been a jazz musician,

And the people dancing on the floor, dancing on the floor, were
so high,
You should have seen Victor smile, you should have seen Victor
smile,
As they danced all the while all around on the floor, and he
laughed,

Victor should have been a jazz musician,
Oh, Victor should have been a jazz musician,
He was playing so nice, the jazz musician,
Ah, ah,
He's living in a fast beat, in a city that's hot,
Telling all the Latinos and Puerto Ricans, Victor seems happy,
but he doesn't even know himself, he's gotta look inside to know
his first love,
Victor was a Jazz musician, he was playing so nice, Victor was a
Jazz musician, (?) Victor was a Jazz musician,
Victor loves his music, he loves his music, somewhere, he plays
his music, somewhere,
Victor is a jazz musician,
Jazz.

grace jones - all on a summers night

We're dancing barefoot on the moonlit sand
We're making music, we don't need a band
I can't believe we only met tonight
'Cause we won't let each other out of sight
Maybe I should feel a twinge of shame
We're almost lovers I don't know your name
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop
(Stop)
I'm gonna love you after all...

Chorus 1:
(All) on a summer night
Who cares about tomorrow
Baby all on a summer night
And everything will turn out right

It's 6 a.m., we've danced all through the night
You're even better in the morning light
Funny tinglings moving up my spine
It may be love or maybe just the wine
The sun's begun to turn my head around
Or is it you that make my temples pound?
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop
(Stop)
I'm gonna love you anyway

Chorus 2:
On a summer day
Who cares about tomorrow
Baby all on a summer day
I'm gonna love you anyway
(or) You're gonna love me anyway

Spoken:
You and me
All alone here on the beach tonight
With the moon and the stars
And the sound of the waves
Oh, I know this night will never end
I love you darling, always

We fell asleep out in the burning heat
The evening tide is washed up on our feet
We're all alone here on this beach again
Let's take a swim and wash away the sand
I feel like celebrating finding you
We're off and running for the whole night through
A voice inside shouts like a traffic cop
(Stop)
You say you love me after all

(All) on a summer night
The greatest things can happen
Baby all on a summer night
And everything has turned out right

Repeat chorus

grace jones - amado mio

Amado mio.

Amado mio, amame para siempre, love me forever,
Y que esta noche, and let forever, sea para siempre, be tonight,
Amado mio, amado mio, amame para siempre, love me forever,
Y que este amor, and let forever, comience ahora, begin right now.

Amado mio, amado mio, amado mio,
Amado mio, love me forever, and let forever begin tonight,
Amado mio, when we're together, I'm in a dreamworld of sweet delight,
And many times I've whispered, amado mio,
It was just a phrase that I heard in plays, I was acting a part.

But now when I whispered, amado mio, can't you tell I care,
By the feeling there 'cause it comes from my heart?
I won't endeavor, I love my darling,
Longing to hold you and hold you tight,
Amado mio, love me forever and let forever begin tonight.

Amado mio, amado mio, oh, uh, uh, amado mio amado mio,
Amor, amor mio, amor mio, oh je t'aime mi amor, mon amour,
Mon amour mon amour,, je t'aimerais pour tourjours,
C'est, c'est ca mon amour.

Amado mio, love me forever and let forever begin tonight,
Amado mio, love me forever and let forever commencer ce soir,
Amado mio, love me forever and let forever commencer ce soir,
Amor mio, love me forever, trato de amor [? ] esta sera verdad.

Love me tonight, love me tonight [whispers],
You wan't me to do a sam cooke now? [laughs].

grace jones - art groupie

I'll never write my memoirs,
There's nothing in my book,
The only way you see me an Art Groupie,
I'm hooked.

Some people like to be used,
I've been used and amused,
But that's the way I see me,
My Art Groupie look.

Love me in a picture,
Kiss me in a cast,
Touch me in a sculpture,
Whisper in my mask.

Don't ask me any questions,
My personal life is a bore,
Admire me in glory,
An Art Groupie. That's all.

Love me in a picture,
Kiss me in a cast,
Touch me in a sculpture,
Whisper in my mask.

I'll never write my memoirs,
There's nothing in my book,
The only way you see me an Art Groupie,
I'm hooked.

grace jones - autumn leaves

C'est une chanson,
Qui nous ressemble,
Toi qui m'aimais,
Et je t'aimais,
Nous vivions tous les deux ensemble,
Toi qui m'aimais,
Moi qui t'aimais,

Mais la vie sé??are,
Ceux qui s'aiment,
Tout doucement,
Sans faire de bruit,
Et la mer efface sur le sable,
Les pas des amants dé??unis.

Since he went away,
The days grow long...
And soon I'll hear,
Old winter songs,
But I miss you most of all,
My darling, when autumn leaves start to fall...

grace jones - barefoot in beverly hills

Still walkin barefoot, still walkin barefoot, still,
Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,

I can walk on the stone, I can walk on the grass,
I'm walkin all over this earth,
I can walk on the line, I can walk on the edge,
I'm walkin all over this earth,
I can walk on low, I can walk on high,
I'm walkin all over this earth,
And, I can walk on the grass, I can walk on the grass,
And walk on, you name it.

Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,

(?)
I keep my feet from burning up,
For years I walked back beat,
With anything under my feet,
An immunity to heat,
An immunity to heat,
And walk on, you name it.

Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,

Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,

An immunity to heat.

Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
I'm still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills,

Still walkin barefoot, in Beverly Hills,
Still walkin barefoot still, in Beverly Hills, (x2)

Oh for years I walked back beat,
All the years have gone to my feet,
I've walked in the tall grass?
An immunity to heat.

grace jones - below the belt

Got to go to the distance
Got to take my big chance, got to do it
Got to take my big chance
Got to go the distance, got to prove it

I'll accept all challenges you set
One thing you cannot hit
Below the belt

I can go the time distance with you
Just remember the rules
Not below the belt

Below the belt, all pain is felt
From right to left
Just watch my legs melt
As I hit the ground
Lose the last round
Please stick around
Its not over yet
No cheating, that's what I said
No hitting below the belt

I trained hard for this night
I trained hard for this fight, not to lose it
You are stronger than I
No need to tell a lie, just to prove it

Now one rematch is all you have to pay
For damages you made
Below the belt

I don't want your macho attitude
I didn't make all the rules
Below the belt

Got to go to the distance
Got to take my big chance, got to do it
Got to go the distance
Got to take my big chance, got to prove it

Got to go the distance
Got to take my big chance, got to do it
Got to take my big chance
Got to go the distance, got to do it
I've trained hard for this night
I've trained hard for this fight
Not to lose it
You were stronger than I
No need to tell a lie, just to prove it
Got to go to the distance
Got to take my big chance, got to do it

grace jones - breakdown

It's all right if you love me,
It's all right if you don't,
I'm not afraid of you running away honey,
I get the feeling you won't.

There's no sense in pretending,
your eyes ggive you away
Something inside you, is feeling like I do,
We've said all there is the say.

Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me tonight,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right.

It's all right if you love me,
It's all right if you don't,
I'm not afraid of you running away honey,
I get the feeling you won't,

It's OK if you must go,
I'll understand if you don't,
You say goodbye right now,
I'll still survive somehow,
Why should we let this drag on?

Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me tonight,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,
Breakdown, it's all right, it's all right, it's all right, baby.

Breakdown, honey go ahead and give it to me,
Breakdown, honey take me tonight,
Breakdown, I'm standin' hear can't you see,

grace jones - bulletproof heart

You want to shoot me down?

I've got a bulletproof heart,
I've got a bulletproof heart.

Shotgun, hit and run,
You've had your fun and you left me stung,
You took my heart for target practice,
and now I know that love shares no justice,

So I, I've got a bulletproof heart,
I've got a bulletproof heart.

Here is something you ought to know,
you better pack up and you better go now,
Don't mess with me, no playing around,
I'm going to stomp you straight in the. ground

'Cause I, I've got a bulletproof heart,
I've got a bulletproof heart.

Oh I, I've got a bulletproof heart,
Oh I, I've got a bulletproof heart.

Finger on the trigger, ready to shoot,
I'm kicking you out, not sharing my loot,
I'm locking all my closets, I'm closing my legs,
No use for you to even stand there and beg.

'Cause I, I've got a bulletproof heart,
I've got a bulletproof heart.

'Cause I, I've got a bulletproof heart,
I've got a bulletproof heart,
I've got a bulletproof heart,
Oh I've got a bulletproof heart,
Oh I've got a bulletproof heart. [laughs....]

And she was sick, how he got over, he took pride in everything he did,
Never had a harsh word?

Chan hitchhikes to Shanghai,
Chan goes to Shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to Shanghai,

Works on the snow, works in the wind,
How does he travel? Who's with him?
Didn't think Chan had a family,
Grew accustomed to a symphony, Chan held on to his mystery,

Chan, what'y doin man?
Say Chan, I wrote this song about you man,

It goes, Chan goes to Shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to Shanghai,
Chan goes to Shanghai,

Miss his timing, his discipline, wee all miss Chan but we can't advoid,
Now there's an empty space (?),
Goin to give to leave his job,
He's the only man, I wrote this song,

Hey, Chan, what'y doin man?
Say Chan, I wrote this song about you man,

It goes, Chan goes to Shanghai,
Chan hitchhikes to Shanghai,
Chan goes to Shanghai,

I've been (?) my life just a rolling stone,
When I needed your love, baby, your'e always gone.

In my life I know that something is missing,
Grains of sand is really all you've been giving.

One day we will slow down and find that love is lost.

grace jones - am i ever gonna fall in love in nyc

When I finally got my wish to work in New York city,
It isn't everything that I hoped it would be,
?, lonely eye, gazing at the city tops,
Wondering if there isn't someone in there just for me,

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

My ambition and wish ?
But I'm missin the tradition,
Everybody in a hurry,
No ones got the time and no ones got the time of day.

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

One city is'nt pretty if you see it on your own,
It's a fabulous place ?
There's no one I know to cherish, no one I can hug, and no one around ? day.

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?

Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
Will I ever find a home so far from Tenassee?
Theres no future in the single bars, nothing but the one night stars,
Am I ever gonna fall in love in New York City?
