joan armatrading - alice
Alice is acting very, very strange
Face almost perfect
But her mind's deranged
She's got a blissful smile
Though a sad exchange for life
Alice expecting a perfect day
Luminous daydreams
Homecoming strays
Alice in wonderland
Acting polite
Is it what she knows
Or what she invites
Alice responding to father's will
That refuses the lie
Swears she won't kill
Alice in wonderland
Wondering why
It's harder to live than it is to die
Alice in wonderland
Acting polite
Is it what she knows
Or what she invites
Alice responding to father's will
That refuses the lie
Swears she won't kill
joan armatrading - call me names
joan armatrading - all a woman needs
Brings her flowers every day
And he phones her every night
Because she's his fancy
She's bound to love him too
And he's proved his feelings
He gives her all she needs
This boy can't understand
Though he holds her in his arms
He won't whisper words of love
He thinks it's all right
Love can come later
But woman
Love is all she needs
He will never get his way
With ease
He has to woo her properly
Or he'll never win her heart
Man likes to own
A woman shares
Man has his needs
A woman cares
Never means to make her cry
Oh he want this girl so bad
The boy can't understand
He thinks it's all right
Love can come later
But woman
Love is all she needs
He will never get his way
With ease
He has to woo her properly
Or he'll never win her heart
joan armatrading - all the king's gardens
You're a highfaluting man
Mixing with dinner party freaks
And you're dating only ladies known as the circle elite
You put me down as part exchange
And left me there with all my dreams
Waiting at the gates of all the king's gardens
You're too good to know
You've got a pretty face
Your manner's quite distinguished as a gentleman's ought to be
You hurt this girl you left behind
You put me down as part exchange
Opened my eyes to all the king's gardens
Feel the pressure rising
Getting higher and higher
Come on home baby, baby light my fire
I'll make you happy, make you laugh
Think about the future and not about the past
You're a highfaluting man
Mixing with dinner party freaks
And you're dating only ladies known as the circle elite
You put me down as part exchange
And left me there with all my dreams
Waiting at the gates of all the king's gardens
Well you tried to break me off
But I write it down as experience
Once bitten twice shy
But I'll make my comeback
You broke up, but I still will try
I'll keep on trying until I
Open the gates of all the king's gardens
joan armatrading - all the way from america
You called all the way from America
And said hang on to love girl
But the weeks and the months and the tears
Passed by
And my eyes couldn't stand the strain
Of that promised love
All the way from America
You called all the way from America
And said I'll soon be home girl
But the years and the tears and the fears
Passed by
And my heart couldn't stand the pain
Of that promised love
All the way from America
All the way from America
I stayed all alone and I waited 'round
For you to knock at my door
But the knock never came and no ring
At all
And now I sit and wonder why
You made that first call
All the way from America
I don't believe I'll stay here
I don't think I wanna wait here any more
And if you search for me baby
Better bring some more love than you declared
All the way from America
joan armatrading - always
You never say
I love you
You have to add
Always
And if I cry
You wipe the tears away
You say you'll be here darling
Always
But always is a long long time
And time can change so much
I want to stay with you
Always
Oh the gifts that you bring
Darling you have given me
The joy of living
In every way
After all this time
Things haven't changed so much
I want to stay with you
Always
You still say I love you
Always
joan armatrading - am i blue for you
I haven't slept
On over eighteen hours
I wouldn't tell you no lie
Won't rest my head
Till that day
You are back by my side
Oh darling I remember
When we drank the wine
When we talked
When we talked
Made no sense at all
Oh darling
I have found out
Now this haze in gone
That I need your coolness
To keep me alive
Oh baby what am I to do
Get down on my knees
My body aches
And my eyes feel tired
Am I blue for you
Oh darling I remember
When the good feeling was there
How we laughed
How we laughed
Those times are on my mind
Oh darling
I have found out
Now this crazy feeling is gone
That I need your loving
It keeps me alive
I ain't had no love
In all this time
You are there on my mind
Oh baby
What am I to do
I shall soon be crying
joan armatrading - angel man
Take the girls
Take the money
Cos you want to survive
It's a hard world
With hard people
And it's nothing but heartache
Angel man
Are you in love with one girl
Oh angel
You fight for respect
But you can't take on
The whole world
Diamond rough
Are you a child of the devil
Oh angel
There's no stopping you now
There's no turning back
Angel man
A man of means
With the Midas touch
Everybody's searcing
Cos they all want as much
In this hard world
With hard poeple
And it's nothing but heartache
Angel man
Are you in love with one girl
Oh angel angel
There's no stopping you now
There's no turning back

And the glory
Who cares nothing
For no-one
Angel man

But you can't take on
The whole world
Diamond rough
Are you a child of the devil
Oh angel angel

Angel man
Angel man
You're the last of the angry young men
Such aggression
You fight for respect
But you can't take on the whole world

joan armatrading - at the hop
All dressed up and we got somewhere to go
We're all dressed up in our Sunday clothes
Me and my baby
See us walking down the road
We're going to the hop
Down at the hall you'll find us dancing
I'm dancing right across the floor
Me and my baby
See the people
Hear them shout for more
Me and my baby
See us doing all those fancy steps
We're dancing at the hop
This dance is the coolest yet
One boy he grabs a foreign girl
And he never even asked her name
He wants a dance
And he wants it now
And he can dance
Let me show you how
joan armatrading - baby blue eyes
Those little imperfections
Are what I love about you
The scar on your arms
In the shape of a heart
Baby blue eyes
And the smile of an angel
Melt the snow from any mountain
And make a madman sane
He won't ever complain
In the everglades
In the backyard lit by fairy lights
With garlands let us walk
By the water's edge let's dance
Let's dance let's dance let's dance let's dance
You lead I'll follow
And if I stumble
Catch me
Before I fall
I know where we've come from
I know the road we've travelled to get here
We've seen some tragedies along the way
When folks want to exchange places
Just walk a few steps in these shoes
Sometimes they hurt cost they're too tight
It ain't always easy being me
It ain't always easy being me
Those little imperfections
Are what I love about you
The scar on your arms
In the shape of a heart
Baby blue eyes
And the smile of an angel
Melt the snow from any mountain
And make a madman sane
He won't ever complain
I will never complain
joan armatrading - baby i
Remember when you took me
Out last night
It was a clear night
The nearest moon
I'd ever seen
Filled the sky
Threw light on the city
Remember when you took me
To some party
With your arms around my waist
Planning my weekends
Maybe planning
To change my name
I'm in love
And I got to let you know
Baby I
Want to be
In your loving arms again
Baby I
Want to be
In your loving arms again
Feel you near to me
Baby, ah can't you see
So much
Romance in the air
And all I really want
Is to be with you
joan armatrading - back on the road
Ah, oh oh...
I've been up
I've been down
I've been every which way round
I was lost in a sea of self pity
I fooled myself
That I was fine
Someone who liked my company
I played host
I entertained Mr Misery
And Mr Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Three musketeers
Sorry misery and me
Ah oh oh..
Hey I know
Where I would rather be
I may not get to heaven
You put me
Back on the road
Back on the road
I may not get to heaven
Ask myself
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
And Mr Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Musketeers
Sorrow
Misery
Me
Ah oh oh..
Guess where I'd rather be
I may not get to heaven
But with you
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
Again
joan armatrading - back to the night
Leaves burnt by the sun
And there's no wind blowing
See the motor cars with a smiling face at the wheel
I'm watching the little girls
With their young men at their heels
It's a sunny day
But get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Skyline
Sweet smiling rose
The night life perfume
See the romeos dancing under the moon light
I see the night
Night was made for romance
You keep your sunny day
Just get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like those skinny burlesque queens
I love a neon skyline
Got the card sharks hustling
At the break of the moon
Gay night walkers
Old blues buskers
All night long there's just so much to do
Just get me back to the night
Oh I love the life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon skyline
joan armatrading - bad habits
You swear too much
You drink too many
You smoke like a burning
Haystack honey
You got bad habits
Bad habits
You chase all the women
Coloured and white
You steal from your mother
Do you think that that's right
You got bad habits
Bad habits
You walk on the grass
The sign he say don't
You say you'll do things
That you know you won't
You own a car
For which you didn't pay
But you earned my love
It's here to stay
Oh oh oh oh
Every lie a masterpiece
You're gifted
But I'm young
So I can take it
All the policemen know you
Your face
Name
Where you were last night
And at what time you came
It's those bad habits
Bad habits
joan armatrading - barefoot and pregnant
So many ladies love you
With the innocence of a child
Child who believes in God
You keep 'em in luxury
But it's a luxury in the dark
You walk around
With a smile upon your face
But there's something
That you don't know
You're luck's run out
And it's a time for you to go
Everybody told me I was crazy
To try to tame such a wild one
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I got myself into this thing
Like I never knew I could and now
I gotta get away just as fast as I can
I got myself into this thing
And I'll find a way out
You gave me babies
To you that proves your love
Tie my hands with jewels
Barefoot and pregnant you kept me
You sought to
Hide me from the truth
But your lady's done bought some shoes
And she's stepping out on the town
Your lady took herself in hand
And she's spreading herself around
I wanted your love
But not at any price
You're just the hurting kind
Say you want me for yourself
But your deeds deny it
