Every Moment
Street light - © 1986
I remember riding in the back seat
Of my daddy's Chevrolet car
Mama's laughed, Daddy told stories
We never seamed to get far
I will always cherished
All those days gone by
I thank God for the good times
Every moment of my life
Everybody wants to be remembered
of something good, or kindness they shown
I want to help this world to find the answer
No one ever has to walk alone
When my time is over
I'll be satisfied
I thank God for the good times
Every moment of my life
Every day of my life
I don't wanna go back
And try to relive my life
I just want to say thank you
For all those good times of my life
I will always cherished
All those days gone by
I thank God for the good times
Every moment, every momment of my life
Every day of my life
Every day of my life
Every day of my life
War Zone
Dancing Jimmy got a place on the floor
He sleeps at the foot of the stairs
He likes to talk about Carnegie Hall
But dancing Jimmy has never been there
He's just a castaway in this city
A shell of someone we used to know
He wants a lot, but he doesn't want pity
Ah he really needs a home
He's livin' in a war zone
Livin' in a war zone
Down the street there's a mixed up man
In a wig and a red satin dress
Memphis vice in an unmarked car
Looking for someone to arrest
Out on the front we need someone to lead us
Someone who can love through the hate
We need somebody who's just like Jesus
He better come before it's too late
Livin' in a war zone
Livin' in a war zone
Livin' in a war zone
Addey
Street Light - © 1986 : nouvelle version originalement parue sur This Time Thru © 1978
Addey's a cat, she's a fool, she's a star, she's a queen
She lives in a trap down on third, never heard, never seen
She's desperate for a way to get out
But she don't know what out means
Ah, Addey, don't you be so afraid,
It's not as bad as it seems
She walks cross the floor, toward the door,
To stairs, to the street
She calls up a cab for downtown
There's a man she must meet
Ah, the thought that she has to go through
Makes her cry to be free
Oh Addey, wipe those tears form your eyes
You wouldn't want him to see
She puts on your face with a smile
As she walks through the door
She thinks of her folks, and her home
And what she came there for
Ah, she tells the man that after this time
She won't be back for more
But he says ; Huh, Addey don't you be a fool
You've said the same thing, time and time before
She runs down the street,
In the heat, down past Nowhere café
She drops to her knees neath a tree
But she don't know how to pray
Oh Addey, there's not life in that rig
Why don't you pack it away
Trust in God for a new kind of life
Honey, He won't lead you astray
Addey's a cat, she's a fool, she's a star, she's a queen
She lives in a trap down on third, never heard, never seen
She's desperate for a way to get out
But she don't know what out means
Ah, Addey, don't you be so afraid,
It's not as bad as it seems
Soldier Of Fortune
Street light - © 1986
He's got mousse on his hair
He's got a pair of alligator shoes
That he loves to wear
Soldier of fortune
He's got money, he's no fool
But he made it selling junk
To little children after school
Soldier of fortune
He's doing it for the money
He's doing it for the thrill
And he doesn't have a conscience
And I guess he never will
Soldier of fortune
He's got that blue leisure suit
He's got alligator tears
That help him to collect the loot
Soldier of fortune
He can quote every verse
He's got satellites to launch
So you better hang on to your purse
Soldier of fortune
He's doing it for the money
He's doing it for the thrill
And he doesn't have a conscience
And I guess he never will
Soldier of fortune
Don't Stop The Music
Street light - © 1986
I lovw to hear that music
Play it slow or fast
I love that healing message
From the distant past
And if I rearrange it
It remains the same
I'll change the way I say it
But never what I say
The message must remain the same
Don't stop, don't stop the music
You've got to let it play
Don't stop, don't stop the music
Play it in your own way
I hear dissenting voices
Quick to disagree
But I'm on a music mission
They don't bother me
I'll sing the songs that set me free
Don't stop, don't stop the music
You've got to let it play
Don't stop, don't stop the music
Play it in your own way
Don't Throw Your Love Away
Street light - © 1986
I look at you
You've grown up
More than a little girl now
How you have changed, rearranged
Ready to face the world now
But Janie don't grow too fast
Remember where your heart belongs
And don't throw your love away
Please think of this
Each time you kiss
Love can be so thrilling
And if it's love
He's thinking of
You don't have to be that willing
Janie don't you go too far
Remember where your heart belongs
And don't throw your love away
I'm not trying to talk down at you
But don't do something that you can't undo
And if you ever lose your strenght of will
Please don't worry cause I'll love you still
Video Action
Street light - © 1986
Hey that's my pastor in the corner
He's wearing shades like James Dean
Rent or buy
They've got Chariots of Fire
And every flick I've ever seen
Video action
Video action
Near my home
I shouldn't rent that James Bond movie
My conscience wouldn't leave my heart alone
R and X you can't tell the difference
Maybe I can find some Sherlock Holmes
Video action
Video action
Near my home
That's Jane Fonda
In the window
Makes me want to do some exercice
Sing and dance
Without an audience
Shape those hips, shape those thighs
Video action
Video action
Near my home
She Believes
Street light - © 1986
She moves through the shadows never makes a sound
She stares at the sky and she dreams
She wants to open her life and be free
But don't count her out of the race
Cause she believes, she believes
Don't ever laugh in her face
Cause she believes, she believes, she believes
At home she sits in an empty room
At home she waits by the phone
She's not the kind of a girl that stays out all night
She's by herself but she's never alone
But don't count her out of the race
Cause she believes, she believes
Don't ever laugh in her face
Cause she believes, she believes, she believes
She's got her mind made up
She will be nobody's puppet
She's got her mind make up
She won't bow, she won't beg
She believes, she believes
Holy Hustle
Street light - © 1986
Near the drugstore there's a lady
She can't see to drive her car
A young man goes to get her groceries
To her, he's a super star
He's got faith with lots of muscle
He can do the holy hustle
There's a preacher with a hammer
Cause we can't always raise his pay
He works hard to solve the problems
He can pray the blues away
He's got faith with lots of muscle
He can do the holy hustle
They take care of the old and aging
They take care of the children too
You can see the Savior in them
You can see Him through and through
He's got faith with lots of muscle
He can do the holy hustle
Up on a cross
Street light - © 1986
You say I must not sing or dance
They say the Spirit must come through
You say that I must be immersed
They say a sprinkling will do
(Chorus)
Will you still love me after I choose?
Doesn't the issue stand upon this truth?
Up on a cross he died for sinners
Up on a cross between two thieves
Up on a cross he died for you and me
You say a man has a free will
They say he isn't really free
You pray exactly what you feel
They memorize their liturgy
Will you still love me after I choose?
Doesn't the issue stand upon this truth?
Up on a cross he died for sinners
Up on a cross between two thieves
Up on a cross he died for you and me
I heard the Devil's voice today
Inside out
Street light - © 1986
I feel your searching eyes
Piercing to my soul
All that I do
Is open to you
Everywhere I go
In my darkest hour
Your Spirit like a fire
Burns my defenses
All my resistance
You know my hearts desire
Inside out
You know all there is to know
Inside out
From my head down to my toes
There's never been a doubt
That You've always known me
Inside out
So when I kneel to pray
I tearfully confess
I'm not what I should be
Yet You still love me
Through my worst and best
Inside out
You know all there is to know
Inside out
From my head down to my toes
There's never been a doubt
That You've always known me
Inside out
