TESTI JAMES - MAD BRILLIANT
(GHOST OF THE ROBOT)
SINGOLO

SOUNDS LIKE A PERSONAL PROBLEM
What is this crap,
I'm going through,
where am I at,
and who are you,
to make me feel,
like I'm so scared,
caught me off-guard,
was not prepared,
for you,
so smart,
so cool,
to me,
life seems,
it shouldn't be this way.
So here I am,
and there you are,
sitting so close,
feeling so far,
from me and I,
can't figure out,
what I should say,
what's this about,
to you,
to smart,
to cool,
for me,
life seems,
it shouldn't be this way...
SINGOLOL

MEFIANT
It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...
All the schemes that you dream about
Won't matter at all when you wake up alone.
And if she really haunts you now
Just pick up the phone.. but, you know you won't.
It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...
SINGOLO

FIRE
Album: N/A
I'm driving in your car
I turn on the radio
You're pulling me close
I just say no
I say I don't like it
But you know
I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Fire
Late at night
You're taking me home
You say you wanna stay
I say I wanna be alone
I say I don't love you
But you know
I'm a liar
'Cause when we kiss
Fire
You got a hold on me
Right from the start
A grip so tight
I couldn't tear it apart
My nerves all jumpin'
Actin like a fool
Well, your kisses burn
But my heart stays cool
Oh Romeo and Juliet
Samson and Delilah
Baby you can bet
They're love didn't deny
My words say split
But my words they lie
'Cause when we kiss
fire
SINGOLO

ITS NOTHING
Come on quickly catch me
You really are the best thing
That has happened to me since 1983
Yiu buy into the views
Of the hollywood fued
Let's kick our feet up
Watch the world fall

You say its nothing
Uninvited something
Nothing ever stays forever
When you better give me a call
Because you don't know what to do
You follow men in suits
Who tell you everything is all cool

Don't act dumb
K know where you're coming from
From the magazines
Oh you demographic teens
Their statistics are your sickness
Oh i need a witness
Why can't any body else see

You say its nothing
Uninvited something
Nothing ever stays forever
When you better give me a call
Because you don't know what to do
You follow men in suits
Who tell you everything is all cool

I want more than this
Something without tricks
Something of my own
I want you to see
Something more than dreams
that eventualy mislead
By the TV screen
sure they flash and gleam
Make nothing what it seems
Is this this really what we wanted after all?
2-VEHICLES SHOCK ME
So you caught me all alone
Did you think I'd care at all
Now I'm sitting by the phone
Waiting for you to call
It rang a million times before you picked it up
I wear a stupid smile saying that I'm stuck
The effervencent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions, well they did me in
Who was I to think to tell
You drove her to uh oh oh
Fake plastic trees are dead
Have a good time when you fall
It rang a million times before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile saying that I'm stuck
The effervencent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions, well they did me in
Everything
Is upside down
Everything
Is over now
It rang a million times when you lied to me
It rang a million times when you lied
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It's your birthday and I'm not there
Because you don't even know that I'm here
Fake trees you
Plant behind you
When it's me there
Right beside you
I'm the shade that
Creeps your shoulder
When you hide your face from me
I Can't get over
Can't get under
Can't get around or
Through to you
I Can't get over
Can't get under
Can't get around or
Through to you
4-DAVID LETTERMAN
Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman.
I know he knows you look up to him,
but you don't visit his sleep,
I know I know this is what I missed, your eyes are just for me,
really don't see how we could be, I still put trust in fate,
it's something slow that I don't know so I say...
Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman.
6-VALERIE
Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
with a girl named Valerie.
She got a XXX rating
and maybe someday she'd have married me.
But, she was born to keep me waiting.
Her name was Valerie.
With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my hooks into you.
Over a recent complication
I came to find that she'd tired of me.
She wrote the book of Revelations.
Her name was Valerie.
With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my life around you.
With a little more time...
8-CALL 911
The sun no longer shines on your side
Remember this cold
When the fog won’t lift in your town
And you turn old
I heard you killed your only friend last year
You’re such a disease
You can buy your other friends
But you can’t buy me
Disarm, can you hear the British ambulance
Breaking down, trick, bomb still goes
Tick tick time on by, watching me explode
When did I create you?
Did you ever destroy me?
Can this be settled with questions?
I can’t think of anything.
I’m just a little boy with an untrained voice
But I have cannons for arms
I play the guitar and songs
With hidden missiles and bombs
Disarm, can you hear the British ambulance
Breaking down, trick, bomb still goes
Tick tick time on by, watching me explode
10-GERMAN.JEWISH
I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger
This would make more sence, in another time
Not in America where we're westernized
But if we were, what would I do
What would I have said to what we've gone through?
War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why i'd never tell
If you were fighting, surviving hiding
Behind an old bookshelf
I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger
you've always been above, in some higher class
i'm just a small rockstar, you're an actress
what could i say, to ever prove to you
that there can be a love between a German and a Jew?
War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why i'd never tell
If you were fighting, surviving hiding
Behind an old bookshelf.
SINGOLO

NEW MAN
Time of breaking through to you
Don’t mean as much today as Yesterday
Now I see I was a fool
Hungry for a boot to step on me
I don’t care why you cut me
I’m not giving you a second chance
You can hide there by the sea
Take revenge on men who want romance
If you ever see me out
With my new french girlfriend too
There won’t ever be a doubt
That I don’t care what you do
SINGOLO

THE END
Once upon a time
Spent just one night
still never feeling the same
It took someone like you
To get me through
All my troubled minds
Know you understand
Didn’t mean to cut your hands
All your beautiful words
I don’t deserve
You and all the great things you do
Be happy ever after
It’s over before it begins
Touched your hands they bled
Moved to fast
They said
Alone just like before
Can’t take this anymore
I need to know
Know you understand
Didn’t mean to cut your hands
All your beautiful words
I don’t deserve
You and all the great things you do
Be happy ever after
In the end
In the end
In the end!
SINGOLO

CHOCOLATE JESUS
Don't go to church on Sunday
Don't get on my knees to pray
Don't memorize the books of the Bible
I got my own special way
I know Jesus loves me
Maybe just a little bit more

I get down on my knees every Sunday
At Zerelda Lee's candy store

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me

Well I don't want no Abba Zabba
Don't want no Almond Joy
Baby there ain't nothing better
Suitable for this boy
Well I know there's only one thing
That can pick me up
Better than a cup of gold
Only want a chocolate Jesus
Can satisfy my soul

(Solo)
When the weather gets rough
And it's whiskey in the shade
It's best to wrap your savior
Up in cellophane
He flows like the big muddy
But that's ok
Pour him over ice cream
For a nice parfait

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Make me feel so good inside
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Keep me satisfied

Well it's got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
Got to be a chocolate Jesus
Good enough for me
1-LIAR
I don't mean to sound mean when I talk about the day
I believed every single word she'd say, but, things changed like she'd changed
Something's not the same
Found the things she said, did you?... were never true 'cause
She's a liar
Who won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind
She didn't break me! (She said) 'Can't you see we'd never be, because your crazy'
Sure I'm crazy
Only crazy'd think
That she would change forever
She would lie even if the truth sounded better
Never tell someone you love them, would they love you?.....' cause
They will die when they hear the truth
She's a liar
Who won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind
She's a liar
She's a liar
She's a liar
3-DANGEROUS
I don't think you know my name
I think you'd leave me standing in the rain
You're a pretty little girl, got a thing for me
But you'd cut me open and let me bleed
But I'll be lookin' at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
'Cause you're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don't even know it
One baby, two, maybe three more years
You'll be a full hot baby, have all your curves
And here's a little taste of irony
You'll be a too-hot baby, too good for me
But I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
'Cause you're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don't even know it
So little baby, you better stay set
Play with fire when you get too wet
So set me down and leave me be
You'll get a devil when you unchain me
But I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
'Cause you're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don't even know it
5-ANGEL
She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?
She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings,
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day
Every day of my life
Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren't even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she's very very tired
She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's rising above me every day
Every day of my life
7-MAD BRILLIANT
We are bitter opposites, it stings when you hit
Me like a kick to the head when I heard what you said
Did you even consider, you are making us bitter
I guess you’re justified, because of your weak mind
When our lips first met, you didn’t get the hang of it
I bet that you still kiss like me,
you realize it when you hear this
You have managed to steer clear, for yet another whole year
Although I did see you, I only caught lies you threw
When you were there with the band,
acceptance letter not in hand
Hugging your “cool” boyfriend, did you ever tell him?
When our lips first met, you didn’t get the hang of it
I bet that you still kiss like me,
you realize it when you hear this
Realize it when you kiss
9-BLOCKING BRAINWAVES
Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to have fun?
Take on buried treasure
I could be the one.
Hear me, out here... hear me, out.
I can't describe
Just can't subscribe
I'm telling vision
Glad to be alive
You say I can't relate to you
Some things I need to prove
Can't find the right words to use
Brainwaves won't pass through
When I wake up from seizures on an island full of slaves
All I see is smiles from the lack of brainwaves
There is no thinking so I check my mind in at the door
Nothing to contemplate I won't need it anymore
Ignorance it must be bliss
Never dealing with things like this
Thinking happy comes from a kiss
Regret all you've missed
11-GOOD NIGHT SWEET GIRL
Are we done for now,
Or is this for good,
Will there be something in time?
With us there should.
Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone
So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It always makes me wonder
If you save it all for me
Maybe you do
Maybe you don't
Maybe you should
Probably wont.
Because there will be...
There will be other guys
Who will whisper in your ear
Say they'll take away you sadness
And your fears
They may be kind and true
They may be good for you
But they'll never care for you
More than I do
I'll be always there
There to the end
I can't do much
But be your one true friend
To the end
Through the end
Our lives to spend
With each other till the end
Of time...
Still see the promise in your eyes
And still wonder if it's for me
But I know it's still there
Even when you sleep
So I say, good night sweet girl
