1984

(D. Bowie)
Producers: Martyn Ware and Greg Walsh
Album: Private Dancer (84)

Someday they won't let you, now you must agree
The times they are a telling and the changing isn't free
You read it in the tea leaves and the tracks are on TV
Beware the savage jaw in 1984

They'll split your pretty cranium and fill it full of air
They'll tell you that you're eighty and really you won't care
You'll be shooting up on everything, tomorrow's never there
Beware the savage jaw in 1984

Come see, come see, remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last but I guess we've enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)

I'm looking for a vehicle, I'm looking for a ride
I'm looking for a party, I'm looking for a side
I'm looking for a treason that I knew in sixty-five
Beware the savage jaw in 1984

Come see, come see, remember me
I played in an all night movie role
You said it would last but I guess we've enrolled
In 1984 (who could ask for more)
1984 (who could ask for more)

Better Be Good To Me

(M. Chapman, N. Chinn, H. Knight)
Producer: Carter
Albums: Private Dancer (84), Simply The Best (91),
The Collected Recordings (94)
Grammy Award: Best rock vocal performance, female (85)

A prisoner of your love
Entangled in your web
Hot whispers in the night
I'm captured by your spell
Oh yes I'm touched by this show of emotion
Should I be fractured by your lack of devotion
Should I, should I?

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have no use
For what you losely call the truth
You better be good to me

I think it's also right
That we don't need to fight
We stand face to face
And you present your case
And I know you keep telling me that you love me
And I really do wanna believe
But did you think I'd just accept you in blind faith
Oh sure babe, anything to please you

You better be good to me
That's how it's gotta be now
Cause I don't have the time
For your over loaded lines
You better be good to me

And I really don't see why it's so hard to be good to me
And I don't understand what's your plan that you can't be good to me
What I can't feel I surely cannot see, why can't you be good to me
And if it's not real I do not wish to see, why can't you be good to me

Help

(J. Lennon, P. McCartney)
Producers: Joe Sample, Wilton Felder and Ndugu Chancler
Albums: Private Dancer (84), The Collected Recordings (94)

When I was younger, so much younger than today
Never needed anybody's help in anyway
But now those days are gone and I'm not so self assured
Now I find I've changed my mind, I've opened up the door

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

And now my life has changed in oh so many ways
My independence seems to vanish in the haze
And every now and then I feel so insecure
And now I just need you like I never did before

Help me if you can I'm feeling down
And I do appreciate you being around
Help me get my feet back on the ground
Won't you please, please help me

I Can't Stand The Rain

(D. Bryant, A. Peebles, B. Miller)
Producer: Terry Britten
Albums: Private Dancer (84), Simply The Best (93),
The Colected Recordings (94)

I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Cause he ain't here with me

Hey window pain
Tell me, do you remember
How sweet it used to be

When we were together
Everything was so grand
Now that we've parted
There's just one sound
That I just can't stand

I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Cause he ain't here with me

Hey hey rain
Get out of my window
Cause he ain't here with me
I can't stand the rain
Against my window
Bringing back sweet memories

I Might Have Been Queen

(J. Obstoj, R. Hine, J. West-Oram)
Producer: Rupert Hine
Albums: Private Dancer (84), What's Love Got To Do With It (93)
Remixed by Chris Lord-Alge for the What's Love Got To Do With soundtrack

I'm a new pair of eyes everytime I am born
An original mind because I just died
And I'm scanning the horizon
For someone recognizing that I might have been queen
For every sun that sets there is a new one dawning
For every empire crushed there is a brand new nation
Let the waters rise, I have ridden each tide
From the gates of the city where the first born died

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won't stop for me
No, the rivers won't stop to me

I'm a new pair of eyes, an original mind
With my senses of old and the heart of a giant
And I'm searching through the wreckage
For some recollection that I might have been queen
For every sage that falls there's an ancient child

And I might have been queen
I remember the girl in the fields with no name
She had a love
But the rivers won't stop for me
No, the rivers won't stop to me

I look up to the stars with my perfect memory
I look through it all and my future is no shock to me
I look down but I see no tragedy
I look up to the stars till I find my destiny
I look up to my past, a spirit running free
I look down, I look down and I'm there in history
I'm a soul survivor

A soul survivor
On the river
But it won't stop

(W. Mitchell, A. Green, A. Jackson)
Producers: Martyn Ware and Greg Walsh
Albums: Private Dancer (84), Simply The Best (91),
The Collected Recordings (94)
Grammy Nomination: Best R&B vocal performance (84)

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is alright with me
You make me feel so brand new
I want to spend my whole life with you

Let me say that since
Since we've been together
Loving you forever
Is all I need
Let me be the one you come running to
I'll never be untrue

Let's, let's stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Why, oh tell me, why do people break up
Turn around and make up
I just came to see
You'd never do that to me, would you baby?
Cause being around you is all I see

So baby let's we all stay together
Loving you whether, whether
Times are good or bad, happy or sad

Private Dancer

(M. Knopfler)
Producer: Carter
Albums: Private Dancer (84), Simply The Best (91), The Collected Recordings (94)

All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names
You don't think of them as human
You don't think of them at all
You keep your mind on the money
Keeping your eyes on the wall

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

I want to make a million dollars
I wanna live out by the sea
Have a husband and some children
Yeah, I guess I want a family
All the men come in these places
And the men are all the same
You don't look at their faces
And you don't ask their names

I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
I'll do what you want me to do
I'm your private dancer, a dancer for money
And any old music will do

Deutch marks or dollars
American Express will do nicely, thank you
Let me loosen up your collar
Tell me, do you wanna see me do the shimmy again?

Show Some Respect

(T. Britten, S. Shifrin)
Producer: Terry Britten
Album: Private Dancer (84)

I made a resolution and I plan to keep my work
But I need you to make it work
You've got to read the message, understand what's on my mind
Cause not to see would be a crime
And we could lose it anytime

We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect

But I believe in working, then I believe in a little help
Cause I'm not a light unto myself
Without a thing of value, why settle for second best
We don't know what's up ahead
And we can't let ourselves forget

We've got to show some respect
We've got to learn to protect
Don't take it for granted, I know
That if you want to stay close
We've got to show some respect

For the things that I love about you
From the woman that you see inside
Don't let it walk out the door
Love follows everytime

Steel Claw

(P. Brady)
Producer: Carter
Album: Private Dancer (84)

It's just a television wonderland
It's one more fairytale about a rich bitch
Lying by the swimming pool
Life is so cool
Easy living when you make the rules
Last friday was the first time
It only took about a half a minute
On the starway
It was child's play
The odds turn out even when you give up believing in the

Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw

The politicians have forgotten this place
Except for a flying visit in a black Mercedes
No election
They cross the line
And everybody runs to watch the pantomime
If they could see what's going on around here
So many people hanging onto the edge
Crying out for revolution
Retribution
The odds turn out even
When you give up believing in the

Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw

Sometimes I think I'm going crazy
Sometimes I do a line, makes me laugh
Makes me wanna take a joyride
On the high tide
Sometimes I'm contemplating suicide
Meanwhile Eddy is on the west coast
I know he's making out with some sweet senorita
Up in Frisco
You and I know
The odds turn out even
Whe you give up believing in the

Cold law, steel claw
Try to get on board you find the lock is on the door
Well I say no way
Don't try to keep me out or there'll be hell to pay
I don't know who's right or who's wrong
It doesn't really matter when you're lying in the gutter
It's a see saw
A long battle with the cold law
Is what you get for messing with the steel claw

What's Love Got To Do With It

WHAT'S LOVE GOT TO DO WITH IT

(T. Britten, G. Lyle)
Producer: Terry Britten
Albums: Private Dancer (84), Simply The Best (91),
What's Love Got To Do With It (93), The Collected Recordings (94)
Grammy Awards: Record of the year, Song of the year, Best pop vocal
performance, female (85)
MTV Video Award: Best female video (85)

You must understand how the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore that it means more than that

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

It may seem to you that I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason you do it for me

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

I've been taking on a new direction
But I have to say
I've been thinking about my own protection
It scares me to feel this way

What's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a sweet old fashioned notion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken

Afterglow

(T. Britten, G. Lyle)
Producer: Terry Britten
Album: Break Every Rule (86)

I need you here beside me to chase the night away
I need your love to guide me safe through another day
I lie and watch the lights go down
Say goodnight to another town
And though it hurts to be alone
I have my thoughts of you to keep me warm

In the afterglow of your love
Dreamings all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

When the beat of the drum has faded
The show comes to an and
The stage is clear and loaded
And the highway calls again
I stand and watch the lights go down

In the afterglow of your love
Dreamings all I'm guilty of
Everyday I'm playing tough
But read my mind

If you could see me now
Just living my life in a limbo
If you could see me now
The me that only you would know
Still burning in the afterglow

Stay with me right to the end
Till I can hold you again

Back Where You Started

(B. Adams, J. Vallance)
Producers: Bryan Adams and Bob Clearmountain
Albums: Break Every Rule (86), The Collected Recordings(94)
Grammy Award: Best rock performance, female (87)

Baby tell me what you're trying to prove
Playing games with my heart
Hey now listen, I ain't gonna take one more night
You're the one who broke the rules
And I'm the one who played the fool
Now you're trying to tell me it's alright
You should know better than to hurt a friend
You'll never get another chance again

You'll be back where you started
I know you won't admit it but you're broken-hearted
Back where you started
You think it's gonna be easy but it just gets harder, harder

You had a way with words
One look and I was under your spell
I didn't know should I stay or should I run
You can't deny you told me lies
Love'em and leave'em baby, that's your style
I'm not affraid to take life as it comes
You play with fire I guess you'll never learn
You mess with me babe, you 're gonna get burned

You'll be back where you started
I know how it feels when you've been discarded
Back where you started
You think you got it made but it won't get you far, no it won't get you far

Who's gonna help ya, throw you a lifetime
I'll tell you one thing, you've really done it this time
You took your one chance and let it slip away
