07 - Ordinary People
Little Jimmy just bought high top sneakers
Wants to fly high like his heroes can
He’s got the smile like Michael Jordan
In the schoolyard, Jimmy, he’s the man
I’m sitting here watching his heart beating
He’s ten feet tall, all five feet four of him
Come six o’clock working out his foul shot
Who we fooling, Mama’s calling, she smiles and says
You and me, we’re ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
These are extraordinary times
She lives alone, got four kids through high school
She cleans houses and she takes in wash at night
You’d never know that she don’t have much
Because she’s rich with the things money can’t buy
She don’t need clothes, she don’t want diamonds
Don’t need a brand new car to drive in
What she’s got is love and that’s a lot
At least it’s a good start
You and me, we’re ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
These are extraordinary times
Everybody wants to be somebody
Everybody wants to be someone
We only want to watch the game on Sunday
Sit back, catch a little buzz
Ain’t nobody wants to be nobody
Everybody wants a little love
Everybody wants to be the hero
And ride into the setting sun
You and me, we’re ordinary people
Living in our ordinary lives
We can be ordinary people
These are extraordinary times
And I’ve got dreams like ordinary people
I can see them when I close my eyes at night
Can’t you see we’re ordinary people
These are extraordinary times
08 - Flesh And BoneThey judge you by your money
Or the color of your skin
They read you by the cover
Don't take time to read within
They judge you without jury
And you struggle to believe
No one could hear your story
Even justice had to leave
All I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
They build the walls around you
And they tell you you don't fit
And still you think you know me
You don't know the half of it
I'm a beggar, you're a savior
I'm your devil, you're a thief
I'll be here until you realize
I'm you and you are me
All that I know (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
(All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Do the cuts bleed any different
On a pauper or a king?
When it comes down to dying
The crown don't mean a thing
No, no, no…
(All we are is all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (All we are is on all alone)
Man is made of flesh & bone (Man is made of flesh & bone)
09 - SatelliteAre you out there?
Can you hear me?
Do you know my whereabouts?
Do you know what I'm all about?
Through the static you're so close, so far away
Are you listening?
I'm desperate
Sendin' out an S.O.S
'Cause I'm lost I must confess
Throw a lifeline
I'm down here drownin'
In the deepest part of me
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Are you watchin' over me tonight?
I need to know you're out there
Are your lines open and receiving?
You know I got so much to say
I just don't want to fade away
Keep on talkin' 'cause you're keeping' me alive
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Are you watchin' over me tonight
I need to know you're out there
Everybody hurts
Everybody cries
Everybody needs someone
To save them sometimes
Everybody hurts
Everybody cries
Everybody needs someone
To save them sometimes
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Satellite
Can you feel me?
Satellite
Come and heal me
Are you watchin' over me tonight
I need to know you're out there
Satellite
10 - If I Can't Have Your LoveIt's hard to remember a time
When I didn't have you, when I didn't have nothing but a cold bed to come to at night
That was all I knew, until there was you
And then you took my world and turned it all around
I couldn't leave without you now
Baby, if I can't have your love
If I can't feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist
I got nothing
No I can't imagine living life without you
I can't imagine living life without your love
I wake up with you by my side
Can't let go, I can't even bear the thought of you in another man's eyes
I would lose control, I would die
'Cause now you're in my heart and I can't let you out
I gotta keep you here somehow
Baby, if I can't have your love
If I can't feel your touch I got nothing
Baby, if I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist
I got nothing
If I can't be your man, I wouldn't know who I am
I got nothing
I got nothing
No, I can't imagine living life without you
I can't imagine living life without your love
'Cause I can't imagine living life without you
Can't imagine living life without your love
Believe me Baby I don't mean to doubt you
But if you ever leave, that would be the end of me, Baby
Baby, if I can't feel your touch I got nothing
If I can't taste your kiss then I don't exist
I got nothing
I got nothing, Baby
If I can't be your man, I wouldn't know who I am
I'd be nothing
Baby, if I can't have your love
If I can't feel your touch
I got nothing
No, I can't imagine living life without you
I can't imagine living life without your love
11 - Real LifeI wish that life was like it is in the movies
'Cause the hero always gets his way
No matter how hard it gets on that dark, lonely road
At the end he's got a smile on his face
But when they threw me out to the lions
No one saved me as I fell from your grace
And no one wrote me new lines for what I said wrong
And what I did wrong I could not erase
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
I wish that I could be a white knight in armor
With an army just to bring you back home
But I'll admit I'm scared of dialing your number
And someone else is gonna answer the phone
Why can't it be like it is on TV
When the orchestra plays and you come back to me
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds that I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
I always thought that our love was a story book tale
God knows that I'd never dream in the end it would fail
'Cause this is real life, this is real love
This is real pain that much I'm sure of
These are real tears, these are real fears inside that I can't hide
This is real life, this is real love
These are real wounds that I'm bleeding from
And I realize this is real
This is real life, this is real love
This is real pain, that much I'm sure of
12 - Memphis Lives In MeThere's a town that I call home
Where all the streets are paved with soul
Down on Beale there's a honky-tonk bar
So hear the wail of a blues guitar
Have a beer and drop a dime in the blind man's jar
The blues sing softly in the air like a Sunday morning prayer
Just one more drink and you'll see God everywhere
Like a sad old melody that cheers you up, it sets you free
That's how Memphis lives in me
There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend that always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Never showed me
How did life just had to be
I couldn't even try to run away, say goodbye
Here I was born and here is where I'll die
I'm just a man from Tennessee
I can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives in me
I said I'm just a man from Tennessee
Can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives
All I know is Memphis gives
All I know is Memphis lives in me
13 - Too Much Of A Good ThingLove is like quicksand
It's always bringing me down
But I still keep coming back for more
And like an addiction
One is never enough
I'm like a junkie at your door
Too much of a good thing is like getting high and coming down
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much too much of a good thing
I came to your party
And stayed a little too late
You woke up naked on the floor
You are my strongest weakness
And I don't want nothing else
You got the fix I'm looking for
Too much of a good thing will turn your whole world upside down
My heart's on a string
I've been blind to the sting
Getting much too much of a good thing
She's my favorite disease
Makes me crawl on my knees
Getting much too much of a good thing
Like you parted all night and you're too trashed from drinking
The only way out is another shot glass to sink in
Tell me, Baby, what'll it take
I keep making the same mistakes
My heart's on a string
I was blind to the sting
Getting much too much of a good thing
And I know it's no good
Yeah, I'd quit if I could
Getting much too much
Getting much too much
Oh, it's just too much of a good thing
