So you think you know you know me by name And you think that this is all just a game Well let me correct you, son 'Coz there is nothing you know about me And if you say that this is all an act Well shut up, mate, and listen to the facts These are the worst rhymes ever But I'm naive so I think they're clever If you knew what's going on in my brain Self deprecation and a touch of insane Hey hey You know, I wake up feeling I'm the best That I'm ready to complete any test Taking one on the shoulder I went bald, now I'm feeling bolder Getting in before I get out I can win without a doubt I can't believe you haven't stopped the CD yet 'Cos my singing will make your ears upset If you knew what's going on in my brain Self deprecation and a touch of insane Hey hey And now you see There is nothing right about me

I once saw a star falling down through the sky It flittered on down to the ground In front of my eye And if I had the time I would tell you All of the things that my heart goes through in a day All of the things that my heart goes through in a day You're my saviour and I want it to stay that way And when I cry When the rain is there I look to the sky And I know that the stars that I watch are the same that you see Even though we are countries away, they're the same that you see Give me your gentle love in the morning Night will come soon enough for us to bear And with every hurdle that's in our way I know that I will climb that mountain with you I know that I will climb that mountain with you You're my saviour and without you, I don't know what I would do And when I cry When the rain is there I look to the sky And I know that the stars that I watch are the same that you see Even though we are countries away, they're the same that you see And when you see this story A picturesque loveliness And when you hear this song I will always think Of you

Take it or leave it That's what we do Which side of my head you're on I have no clue But when you get your hands on me It's nothing new (Left side) Set me free from our yesterday x2 Let me see that this is the way x2 You tell me this will never sway x2 Let this be, yeah (Right side) When I lie awake, living for your sake x4 Yeah It's got me feeling Crazy inside It's not like I wanted to But I can't hide I'll let you set your eyes on me And this ain't just for the ride I do not know It seems like something was lost long ago But in time all things must grow It took me this long, But now I can see Everything that you say Fills me with glee But now you've got control of me When you finally can see When you, when you, when you, when you Love me I'll be free

This is an interlude I don't really think that it covers the definition of an interlude But that's what I'm calling it

Taking Time 07:07
I'm hiding from My damnation And taking time For hesitation I run away, I run away From yesterday I fancy myself as a saint or a sinner In the grand game of life A loser or the winner I fancy myself as a saint or a sinner In the grand game of life A loser or the winner The self I saw Was just a cover A nervous rash A selfless lover Why deny, why do you lie? The birds they cry I fancy myself as a saint or a sinner In the grand game of life A loser or the winner I fancy myself as a pauper or princess In the battle of life A failure or a success Your beauty is the fact that you're unseeable Your beauty is the fact that you're unseeable There is one trial yet to be won The key that sets the lock undone There is no seed, there is no seed On which to feed

The theory of swing Some complain about the times That rhythm in the streets is dying But they don't know the way These things go But music comes right from the heart The beating of life is rhythm So sit right down, absorb yourself In the flow So take A moment Just to jam to the rhythm of the thing It's the swing So take A moment Just to jam to the rhythm of the thing It's the swing Think about the beats They land where you do not expect them And fall five eighths along Can you tell? It's been changing all the time You might not have even bothered To find out where the swing Where it starts So take A moment Just to jam to the rhythm of the thing It's the swing And take A second And let's talk about the meaning of the swing What does it bring The theory of swing Is a powerful thing Can get you so you're nowhere and Right back again I'm telling you my friend So you might comprehend That if you get it wrong things might get Out of hand The theory of swing Is a powerful thing Can get you so you know her and Right back again I'm telling you my friend So you might comprehend That if you get it wrong things might get Out of hand

about

JR's first album. Tracks 1-12 are side A, tracks 13-24 are side B.
Side A is all rock/pop/funk/whatever so that's probably what you're looking for. Side B is all 'classical'/neoclassical/experimental stuff. Don't say I didn't warn you.
