Lyrics - Glorious Fool
Couldn't Love You More
If you kissed the sun right out of the sky for me
If you told me all the lies I might deserve
If you lay all night in the rain for me
Well, I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more.
If you loved me 'til my eyes get no more shame for you
If you walked beside me all the long way home
If you wasted all of your time on me
Well, I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more
I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more.
If you gave me all the things I'd never ask of you
If you showed me all the ways you have to cry
If you lay all night in the rain for me
I couldn't love you more
I just couldn't love you more
Just couldn't love you more.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam.
There was ladies around the casket
There was whores lying on the bed
There was some of them in silks and satins
There were some of them dressed in red, yeah
There were some moving in colours bright
And there were two little children there too
The wind had changed all concerned
And left us violet blue.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
There was nobody who could understand why
The night the kid left Amsterdam
There was nobody who could understand why.
Sweet sailor, sail through
Stay safe, always true
Sweet sailor, stay clear
There's nothing but trouble 'round here.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
There was Jack the rain man
There was little bitty long hair queue
By all the hustled and poised
I just admire it of you
Swear I was crying
And I know that you would have been too
The wind had changed everyone concerned
Just to let this body go through.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
There was nobody who could understand why
The night the kid left Amsterdam
There was nobody who could understand why.
Sweet sailor, sail through
Stay safe, always true
Sweet sailor, stay clear
Nothing but trouble round here.
The last time that I saw him
He was a freaking fresh feeling fine
If I would have known that the boy was drowning
I would have thrown that kid a line
You never made me look around the city no more like I did before
All that love and wisdom, just scattered across the floor.
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam
There was nobody who could understand why
The night the kid left Amsterdam.
Nobody could understand why
The night the kid left Amsterdam
The night the kid left Amsterdam.
Loud or lovely, soft as you like
Anyway you want me to be for your loving
Gentle, hard as a spike; I will be anything
Moving slowly, moving slower
Always with you in mind
No looking over my shoulder
No looking back, no looking behind.
You've got to, hold on to my heart
You've got to, hold on to my heart
You've got to, hold on to my heart
But you won't let go
Got to, hold on to my heart.
Loving; leaving; I've tried it all
Anytime I thought I could do
Trying my easiest never to fall
In love with anyone at all
Now you've got me where you want me
That's just where I like it
Cos your loving, there's no leaving
And there's nowhere that I want to run.
You've got to, hold on to my heart
You've got to, hold on to my heart
You've got to, hold on to my heart
But you won't let go
Got to, hold on to my heart.
Loud or lovely, soft as you like
Anyway you want me to be for your loving
Gentle, hard as a spike; I will be anything
Moving slowly, moving slower
Always with you in mind
No looking over my shoulder
No looking back, no looking behind.
You've got to, hold on to my heart
You've got to, hold on to my heart
You've got to, hold on to my heart
Ah you've got to hold, you've got to hold on to my heart
You've got to hold on to my heart
But you can't let go.
The man who taught you how to dance
He was a perfect hustler
The man who taught you how to dance
He had a sense of style
The man who taught you how to dance
I believe he had gold teeth in
I believe the man who taught you how to dance
He had some style.
I want to know, I need to know
I want your information
My curiosity is as great
As is your implication
I must confess, I'm being impressed
The way you move around
I thought you got that kind of form
Back in the lost and found.
Please, won't you tell me your name
Won't you just tell me, who you are
Please, won't you tell me your name
Won't you just please give yourself away.
The man who taught you how to dance
I believe he had gold teeth
The man who taught you how to dance
He had a sense of style
The man who taught you how to dance
I believe he had some notion
The man who taught you how to dance
I believe he took a while.
I have a lust
A sudden expectation
I've got the inkling
Of an inclination
Got the kind of shape
Make a blind man see
Like a lame man run
You're safe with me
My lips are sealed
It will never be undone.
Ah, you've got to tell me your name
Just tell me who you are, who are you, who are you
Won't you tell me your name
Won't you just give yourself away?
The man who taught you how to dance
He was a perfect hustler
The man who taught you how to dance
I believe he had some style
The man who taught you how to dance
He was the perfect hustler
The man who taught you how to dance
He must have took a while.
My interest is being aroused by your perpetual motion
My approach is not in the least concerned with high brow notions
You've got the name, you've got the style
You've got a sense of fashion
Underneath that cool facade... your passion.
Won't you please tell me your name, tell me your name
Tell me, just tell me, who are you?
Won't you please just tell me, tell me your name
Won't you tell me who you are.
The man who taught you how to dance
He had a sense of fashion
The man who taught you how to dance
He had a sense of style
The man who taught you how to dance
He walked the royal mansions
The man who taught you how to dance
He walked the royal mile, uphill!
On his knees!
Through his teeth, of his hose, of his nose, of his nose, of his hose
He taught you how to dance
The can can, cha cha
Ta guide, n'est pas.
Give him the elbow
Then the body swerve
Give him the body swerve
Give him the body swerve
Give him the body swerve
Give him the rubber ear
Give him the rubber ear
Give him the body swerve
Body swerve.
You never come
You never call
You never think of me
You never come to taste
You never move
You never think
And you ain't never seen
I never change; I never could.
My heart carries your key
My heart carries your key
Someday
Somehow
Someday
Some people.
I never wonder
Nor remember
What that they've said
I never feel the comfort of your telephone
I never laugh
I never cry
I never think of you
If I did, I'd never let you know.
My heart carries your key
My heart carries your key
Someday
Somewhere
Somehow, somewhere, someday
Some people.
You never come
You never call
You never think of me
You never change and never will
I pay the price
Though I never see a bill
It's never nice
And never will be.
My heart carries your key
My heart carries your key
Someday
Somewhere
Somehow
Some people.
Out of the west came a glorious fool
He tried to impress me with furious cool
He lied but inside
I knew just what he was trying.
He lied to his mother
And lied to the rest
He lied to his brother
Who loved him the best
He lied to himself
I believe that he lied to my children.
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
Half the lies he tells you are not true
You know that half the lies he tells you are not true.
You've come the white house
You walked through the white door
And come to the white building
Sleep on the white house floor.
You've come to the wrong people
Come to the wrong floor, yeah
Knocked on the wrong window
Come through the wrong door, he.
Watching a person
Watching him leave
Watching a Christian
Watching a thief
You can watch what you want, when you will
But you can't watch a liar.
Even lied to your children.
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true at all
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true.
Out of the west came this pure fool
He tried to impress me with his cool
He lied to his heart
But I knew just what he was trying.
Well he lied to his mother
He lied to the rest
He lied to the people
Who loved him the best
I believe he lied to his children.
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
Half the lies he tells you are not true
Half the lies he tells you are not true.
You've come to the white house
You've come to the white door
You walked through the white building
You might sleep on the white house floor.
You've come to the wrong building
And the wrong door, yeah
You promised me the wrong people
Come to the wrong partner.
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true.
Half the lies he tells you are not true
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true
They say that half the lies he tells you are not true.
Believe me that, half the lies he tells you are not true
Believe me that half the lies he tells you are not true
They say half the lies he tells you are not true
Half the lies he tells you are not true.
Shut up! Close your mouth
Shut up! Close your mouth
Shut up! Close your mouth
Shut up! Close your mouth.
You must never say, never say never to me
You might break my heart if you
Ever say never to me
You must never say, never say never to me
You might alone break it
If you ever say never to me.
In the world today, there's trouble
Look around any corner
It's coming your way
In the world today there's trouble
Look in any direction
It's coming your way.
But you must never say, never say never to me
You know you break my heart if you ever say never to me
You must never say, never say, never say never to me
You might break my heart if you ever say never to me.
Every time you say I'm crazy
It makes me feel so mad
Every time you tell me, I'm going astray
Every time you say I'm lazy
Makes me feel alright
Every time you tell me, I'm slipping away.
Never say, never say never to me
You'd break my heart if you
Ever say never to me
You must never say, never say never to me
You'd break your own heart if you ever say never to me.
You must never say, never say never to me
You break my heart if you
Ever say never to me
You must never say, never say never to me
You'd break your own heart
If you ever say never to me.
In this world today there's trouble
Look around any corner, you can feel it
You know that it's coming your way
Look out of your window
Any way, north, east, south or west
It's coming your way.
You must never say, never say never to me
You break my heart if you
Ever say never to me
You must never say, never say never to me
You know I'm going apart
If you ever say 'ever to me.
Ah, never say, never say, never say, never say, never say
Never say never, never say never, never say never, never say never.
Don't you look out of your window
Don't you look at me so hard
Don't try to tell me that I never tried
When I play by every card.
Trying get back home
To get back home
Get back home
To get back home.
Don't you stand out on your doorstep
Don't you get out of your prem
Don't you think about my future
I like it just the way I am.
Just get back home
Just get back home
Get back home
Get back home.
Don't you look out of your window at me
Don't you look at me that way
Don't try to hold my own to leave with your eyes
Ah just keep out of my way.
Just get back home
Just get back home
Get back home
Get back home.
Just get back home
Ah please, get back home
Get back, get back, get back, get back, get back home
Get back home
Get back home
Ah please, get back home
Get back home, get back home.
Some kid I met today made mention of your name
He told me that he'd seen you at the local fun and games
He said you laughed, when he asked about my health
He told me your arrived alone and split with someone else.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that
Tell me that it, just didn't cross your mind
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
Not you.
So I called you on your private telephone
I was told politely that my lady was not home
She was somewhere foreign, having fun
If I leave my name and number, something might be done.
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that it, just didn't cross your mind
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
Not you, not me, not you, not me.
And so I told my friend about your goings on
He told me he was not surprised to find that you had gone
Cause he'd seen you at the airport with your ticket in your hand
Leaving me to dangle like a yo-yo in your hand.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that it, just didn't cross your mind
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
Oh, not you.
The friend I met today made mention of your name
He told me that he'd seen you at the local fun and games
He said you laughed, when he asked about my health
He told me your arrived alone and split with someone else.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that it, just didn't cross your mind
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
Couldn't, wouldn't, shouldn't, couldn't, wouldn't do it to me
Couldn't shouldn't wouldn't, couldn't, should not do it to a doll.
You couldn't do that, wouldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do it
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
You wouldn't do that, couldn't do that
Tell me that you, just didn't think about it
Would not do that to me.
It seems to me that you're not the kind
That falls in passing fantasies
It seems to me that you're not the kind
That floats with passing clouds.
It seems to me that you're not the kind
Who wavers in them breezes
It seems to me that you're not the kind
That changes with the wind.
Please fall
Please fall in love with me
Please fall
Please fall in love with me.
It seems to me that of every meeting
That changes with the weather
All that we try, the tears that we cry
That fall just like the rain.
Please fall
Please fall in love with me
Please fall
Please fall in love with me.
I want to fall in love with the world
I want the world to fall in love
I want to fall in love with the world
I want the world to fall in love.
I want to fall in love with the world
I want the world to fall in love
I want to fall in love with the world
I want the world to fall in love.
The army and the navy
They never will agree
Til all the men and all the boys
Are gone from my country.
Don't you go
Don't you go my son
Don't you go
Don't you go my son.
The proud and the powerful
In whose hands we lie
Never will be pleasured
Til all our women cry.
Don't you go
Don't you go
Ah, don't you go
Don't you go my son.
The mastery, the misery
Called the art of war
Must never try and form a peace
As it has done before.
Don't you go
Don't you go my son
Don't you go
Don't you go my son.
The army and the navy
They never will agree
'Til all the men and all the boys
Are gone from this country.
Ah, don't you go
Don't you go my son
Don't you go
Don't you go.
Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go
Don't you go my son.
