Jennifer Michael

Six in the morning, the party ended late
Left on a doorstep, the taxi drives away
As the sleepy street awakens,
she makes her face and she has a smoke
Ahh it’s all a joke...
to Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...
Unlucky seven, waiting for the key
Sits on the doorstep, wishing for a tea
As the passer-bys glare at her,
she has critiques for everything they wear
But they pretend they’re unaware...
of Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...
Again, you find you’re in the wrong place
Where improper things blow up in your face, yeah...
Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh...
Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...
It’s a case of mistaken identity
But once again you’re taken into custody, no...
Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...
Oooh, oooh, oooh, oooh...
Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...
Jennifer Michael... Jennifer Michael...

I'm Over You
02:59
|
|||
|
I saw you crawl in the room
Your after taste is too soon
And I’m where I just don’t need you, coming round the way you used to
'Cause it’s coming down to what is cool...
I’m over you... I’m over you...
I saw you leave in your car
That piece of shit won’t get far
And I’m where I can’t repeat you, thinking ‘bout the pain I went through
Now I’m lookin’ round for somethin’ new...
I’m over you... I’m over you...
And it don’t matter where you been
You're a bad dream that never ends
Not gonna lose my tomorrows, again...
And I’m where I can’t repeat you, thinking ‘bout the pain I went through
Now I’m lookin’ round for somethin’ new...
I’m over you... I’m over you...
I saw you out on the street
Waving a sign like a freak
And I’m where I just don’t need you, coming round the way you used to
Now it’s coming down to the truth...
I’m over you... I’m over you...
I’m over you... I’m over you...

The Girl I Used To Know
02:09
|

|
Does she still cut her hair the same way
Does she laugh like we did in the old days
What became of the girl I used to know
How’s she been, did she ever marry
Is she happy with a family
What became of the girl I used to know
Sometimes I think of her
remembering the silly things we did...
when we were kids
Sometimes I think of her
a love unsure until we were alone...
on our way home
Maybe someday she will remember
And maybe smile like we were together
What became of the girl I used to know
Sometimes I think of her
but I’m not sure that I was meant to know...
So I let her go

Broken Record
04:09
|

|
She sent me a broken record
It’s the one I used to love
I guess I must have upset her
‘Cause she totally came undone
And I’ve been across the sea
And I’ve travelled down the road
But the gypsy girl was right
I should have done what I was told
She sent me a broken record
She was the jealous kind
Someone must have misled her
They tried to sell me down the line
Now there were a few temptations
but I always loved you true
Now there’s so much left to see
guess I’ll see it without you
She sent me a broken record
It’s the one that really grooved
She sent it in a box of letters
That smelled like lies and booze
And I’ve been slammin’ down the road
Through the lonely dead of night
But I couldn’t take her with me
Yeah, the gypsy girl was right
She sent me a broken record
Such a shame to see it go
There wasn’t another better
It really rocked my soul
But I’m moving down the highway
And maybe cross the sea
And now that you’re behind me
It’s the gypsy girl and me
Yes, it’s the gypsy girl and me

Burning Leaves
03:37
|
|||
|
The colors are turning a shade of orange red
The smell of leaves burning, too soon the summer’s end
Inside the lights were low
Oh, how we wept
And as the seasons slow... it’s time we left
The wind moved right through me into the night ahead
A feeling uneasy, subsides but never ends
Inside the lights were low
Oh, how we grieved
Tomorrow never knows... the burning leaves
Inside the lights were low
Oh how we wept
And as the seasons slow... it’s time we left
The colors are turning a shade of orange red
The smell of leaves burning, too soon the summer’s end

Still In Love
02:01
|
|||
|
I think about you night and day
But when we meet you look away
I just wanna hear you say... you’re still in love with me
I have to have you rain or shine
But when I call you don’t reply
I’m just gonna lose my mind... if you’re not in love with me
Every yesterday, we were so together
Now I’m afraid that you’re gone
I sing for you a lonely song
I lay awake and think too long
I know I can't go on... if you're not in love with me
Every yesterday, we were so together
Now I’m afraid that you’re gone
I think about you night and day
I think you know, but help me babe
I just wanna hear you say... you’re still in love with me
in love with me... in love with me...

Dime Store Girl
03:29
|
|||
|
See her creeping round
Spotted across town
There without a sound goes my dime store girl
Quietly she works
Stocking all the shelves
Keeping to herself is my dime store girl
There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall
Feeding little fish
She stops to make a wish
But there’s no one getting rich as a dime store girl
See her sweep the aisle
Into a dusty pile
Never with a smile, that’s my dime store girl
There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall
See her hanging round
Dressed up like a clown
Somethin’s going down with my dime store girl
She doesn’t act the same
She’s scribbling my name
Don’t get in the way of my dime store girl
There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall
And then the dime store closed
The strip mall decomposed
And now nobody knows of my dime store girl
She left without a trace
I still look for her face
No one could replace her my dime store girl
There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall
There’s no one like my dime store girl
There’s no one at all
Tell no one ‘bout my dime store girl
Queen of the strip mall
Queen of the strip mall...

I Wanna Shag You
02:38
|
|||
|
I wanna love you
I wanna hug you
I wanna shag you too...
I wanna hold you
Just like I told you
I wanna shag you too...
And when you’re gone
It feels so wrong
Don’t make me lonely, baby
Don't be too long
'Cause you’re the one
I need to get next to...
I wanna kiss you
Don’t wanna miss you
I wanna shag you too...
I wanna love you
Don’t wanna bug you
I wanna shag you too...
And when you’re near
My heart gets weird
And I can’t control it
It’s very clear
Put it in gear
Turn off your phone...
I wanna love you
Don’t wanna bug you
I wanna shag you too...
I’m gonna crack
Jump in the back
And let’s get busy baby
When you attack
I can’t hold back
Let’s rock and roll...
I wanna love you
I wanna hug you
I wanna shag you too...
I wanna hold you
Just like I told you
I wanna shag you too...

Lavender Holiday
03:01
|
|||
|
Images of paradise are hidden in my mind
While underneath the skylights
There lie the dead and dying
I know... I know...
I saw the things that turned, modern man’s decline
Living where we learned
Our futures left behind
I know... I know...
Lavender holiday...
Something inside me wanting
Lavender holiday...
Somehow I’m always waiting
Ghosts along the shore dressed in deep despair
Alone in a downpour
Your eyes said meet me there
I know... I know...
Lavender holiday...
Something inside me waiting
Lavender holiday...
Sometimes there’s no escaping
Lavender holiday...
Something inside me aching
Lavender holiday...
Sometimes it’s so heartbreaking
I’m seeing things above, but not too far ahead
A line that doesn’t turn
Sometimes I wish it did

Does she love me or love me not
Said the flower to the pot
I’d dig her in a sunny spot
Mona Lisa hanging out
Does she smile or does she pout
Sometimes it’s best to not find out
And by now I thought you knew
In your gold hot air balloon
You’re the king of the plastic yellow moon...
Said the watch to the clock
Do you tick or do you tock
I get wound up until I stop
Is it truth or is it fact
Said the mouse to the cat
Don’t need a dog to smell a rat
And everyone knows who you are
As you float into the room
You’re the king of the plastic yellow moon...
And you know it’s time to move
The alarm will go off soon
But you’re still the king of the plastic yellow moon...

Why Do We Fall In Love?
02:51
|
|||
|
Why do we fall in love... I don’t know...
Why do we fall in love... oh oh oh...
‘Cause it’s never really easy, and you seldom get your way some days
So why do we fall in love?
Why do we fall in love... I don’t know...
Why do we fall in love... oh oh oh...
‘Cause it’s no romantic movie that’s so groovy but insane, explain
Why do we fall in love?
‘Cause it happens so frequently, it’s a complicated maze-like cage
So why do we fall in love?
Why do we fall in love... I don’t know...
Why do we fall in love... oh oh oh...
From the schoolyard crush and dating to the good old ball and chain Hurray!
Why do we fall in love?
Why do we fall in... Why do we fall in... Why do we fall in love...
Why do we fall in... Why do we fall in... Why do we fall in love...
