Danny Wilde - Any Man's Hunger  (1988- Geffen Records)


Time Runs Wild
 Now I can remember, the dress that you wore
But I never really understood, what all the tears were for
And you looked so young, on that sweet summer mornin'
And I thought that you would stay the same, the way you were before
I guess those days are over, and we can never get them back
TIME RUNS WILD-TIME RUNS FREE
TIME RUNS WILD LIKE THE CHILD THAT'S LIVIN' INSIDE OF ME
Now I've been around-I'm no beginner
But you're the only one who loved me, I ever gave a damn about
And I let you down, and I felt like a sinner
Uh 'cause I was young and eager to see what life was all about
I guess we just got older-I guess we just lost track
(CHORUS 2x)
Oh in the dark of night, I pray-Well did I throw my youth away?
On a dream I'll never realize
So I reach out to touch a time-Life was simple and you were mine
You know it took so long to realize
(CHORUS 2x)


Ain't I Good Enough?
Ain't I good enough, to hold your hand?
Ain't I good enough, to be your lovin' man?
Ain't I good enough, to walk you home?
Ain't I good enough, to call you on the phone?
You know I'll never get tired, of chasin' you around
Baby I got a fire, and you know it won't cool down
YOU MAY CALL ME A DREAMER, BUT WHAT ELSE CAN I DO?
'CAUSE EVERYONE HAS A DREAM THEY MUST FOLLOW
AND THERE'S ROOM IN MINE FOR YOU
I'd give up everything, just to have you near
Yeh, I'd give up everything-Ain't my message comin' through clear?
I wanna be the one, that you kiss goodnight
Baby...I wanna be the one, to wake with you in the morning light
You know I'll never get tired, of chasin' you around
Why do you take me higher, just to let me down?
(CHORUS)
I can't help this feelin', you're in my heart and mind
I will wait forever, 'cause baby I've got time
(CHORUS)
You may call me a dreamer-Yeh you may call me a fool
But my love doesn't get any realler
Ain't I good enough for you?
(to fade)


Wouldn't Be the First Time
Everyone's lookin' for somethin'-Baby I just wanna hold onto you
I know my words don't mean nothin'-It's just a motion that you're goin' through yeh
So many others in your world, and I'm just another joker who's in love with you
The way you drag me around Girl-It's a game where the players never bargain to lose
Who do you think that you're foolin'?
Are you tryin' to protect me, from the wrong that you've been doin'? Oh yeh!
IT WON'T BE THE FIRST TIME, YOUR EYES WILL TELL ON YOU
YOU KNOW IT WOULDN'T BE THE FIRST TIME, YOU'VE MADE ME BLUE
Someday when you're not as young Girl, You'll look around and find you're all alone
Then where are you gonna run to? Back to your palace? Back to your throne?
Who do you think that you're foolin'?
Well you know deep inside, one day, you're gonna be my ruin....Oh yeh!
(CHORUS)
Just when I think it's over, and when I think that we are through
Tell me why do I keep comin' back-I keep comin' back to you

Bitter Moon
Well if you're tellin' me you want my soul, Babe ya know you've got it
And if you're tellin' me you gotta go, well I can work around it
But when the moon is on the rise, you know I just can't help it...oh no
Oh my foolish heart won't let you go-I wish there was a way I could live without it...uh huh
Now if you want a hand to hold, Babe ya know I got it
And if you want a love that won't grow old, I got it
Well I could love you till the day I die, Babe if you'll just let me
But like a ship that sails into the storm, I come back home all tired and torn
I'M FALLIN'-I'M FALLIN'
I FELL IN LOVE UNDER A BITTER MOON
I'M FALLIN'-I'M FALLIN'-NOW YOUR KISS IS LIKE SALT IN MY WOUND
Well I would give you everything I have, Babe but you don't want it
And everytime I think I'm getting closer, I'm so far from it
And I keep comin' back to you, just like a nasty habit..oh yeh
You let me hang around a little bit, now and again, but you won't let me in
(CHORUS)
And I could run so far away that you would never find me-Find me
But there's a chain around my heart that's forever binding...Whoah yeh...Ain't that true?

In a Bordertown
Some nights I lie awake, with my head on fire
I can't seem to shake these dreams away
Sometimes I feel I'm walkin', on a wire
Tryin' to hold my fears at bay..oh yeh
I'd walk on water, just to make you love me (make you love me)
You gotta, show me a way, that we can reach the other side
IN A BORDERTOWN, WE DON'T MAKE A SOUND AS WE RUN LIKE THIEVES
WE DON'T TURN OUR HEADS AROUND, IN A BORDERTOWN
So tell me stories 'bout, that pot of gold
'Cause I sure can't see no rainbows here
We take the heat and do just what we're told
Don't you know that someday-Someday we're gonna disappear, right outta here
C'mon Baby!
Just pack your bags and don't give into reason (into reason)
'Cause Baby we've gotta try, to reach the other side..yeh, yeh
(CHORUS)...yeh
In a Bordertown
(CHORUS)
In a Bordertown we don't make a sound as we run like thieves
We're gonna, turn our heads around, in Bordertown

Set Me Free
Well I've had a drink or two, and I could close this old bar down
Baby if it won't be you, somebody else will bring me 'round
You say there's not enough to gain-Yeh you've made that all too clear
But I'll be waiting just the same, because the less I see you, the more I need you here
SET ME FREE-I DON'T WANT YOUR SYMPATHY
LEAVE ME TO MY MISERY-BABY SET ME FREE
Morning comes too soon, and my head feels all undone
And in the light I saw the truth, and I had nowhere to run
Bu I'm a mess since you've been gone-I get no company 'round here
The loneliness is far too strong-The pounding of the rain is, the only sound I hear..Yeh
(CHORUS)
You gotta set me free-Don't keep my heart in custody
I am not your property-Baby set me free
Say the word and I'm gone forever, but will your memory, still be haunting me?
I only wanted to be, yours forever
Could that be worse than what I'm goin' through-Goin' through
Well it's late, the lights are low, and I turn on my radio
You can't hush away my tears-It seems the less I see you, the more I need you here
Right here-Right now
(CHORUS)
You gotta set me free-Don't keep my heart in custody
I am not your property-Ya gotta set me free

Every Goodbye
I don't know what's been goin' on-I'm a little messed up like you
I don't know how I can carry on, livin' in a world without you...oh no no...Oh no
It seems we don't have much to say-Oh you know that we don't say much
You say the feelin' has gone away, and you guess that we just lost touch
I remember-Summer nights on an open road, and the wind blowin' through your hair
Both of us runnin' on overload-We were young and we did not care
EVERY GOODBYE, SEEMS A LITTLE BIT HARDER
EVERY TEAR THAT YOU CRY, BRINGS A LITTLE MORE PAIN
I feel like I'm in a foreign land-I'm such a long, long way from home
You use to say you felt safe in my arms, and now you say you fee all alone..I know
Tell me Baby what can I do-I would kill for those yesterdays
You know I'd do anything for you-You just got to show me the way
I don't know how long.....I can hold on
I don't know how long.....I can hold on
(CHORUS)..and here comes the rain...uh huh...here it come
I don't know how long, that I can hold onto you..Mmm
I don't know how long, that I can hold onto you

Any Man's Hunger
Yeh we've had our troubles, and maybe too much pride
And I've been a pain you see, but she always stuck by my side
Even though the road has been a rocky one, and we've had our ups and downs
And there's been so much uncertaintly-Well she never let me down
You won't see her hold my hand, and beg me not to go
There's nothin' left to understand, that I don't already know
SHE WALKS PROUD-SHE DONT HAVE TO WONDER
SHE'S MORE THAN ENOUGH FOR, ANY MAN'S HUNGER
I don't have to guess what's goin' through her mind, when she looks up at me
No time for misplaced virtue-We ain't got time for any jealousy
She don't really need a man that's too strong, or a man who acts too weak
She just wants a man that's honest, with a promise that he can keep
She don't give the time of day, to any passer by
She knows just where she's comin' from-Yeh she keeps her head held high
(CHORUS)
She's all mine, and I'll never wander
She's more than enough for, any man's hunger
Hey!....oh she my girl...No-no-no
She don't give the time of day, to any passer by
She knows just where she's comin' from-You could see it in her eyes
(CHORUS)....Yeh she's all mine, and I'll never wander
She's more than enough for, any man's hunger

This Old Town
You know I've loved you, forever my friend
Our river runs wider, and free of sin
But they say we're too young, yeh and we don't know
But Baby I'll never, let you go
You gotta stop your cryin', 'cause it's more than I can take
OH THE NIGHT IS FULL AND YOUNG
AND BABY LIKE YOU I'M ON THE RUN
NO THEY'LL NEVER TIE US DOWN
TO THIS OLD TOWN
Summer's callin', like an angel's voice
No more stallin', time to make a choice...yeh!
They'll be a brighter, sun to shine
And yesterday's rain, brings new life to the vine
No...I ain't afraid of livin', it's the dying that I just can't take
(CHORUS)...Whoah no!
Say goodbye, to the ones that you love
You gotta say goodbye, to the ones that made you cry, in the middle of the night yeh
(CHORUS to fade)

Contradiction
My oh my , looks like another war
You know we don't want any Commies knockin' on our door
We gonn stop 'em now-We gonna hit 'em hard
We gonna keep them son's of bitches outta our back yard yeh
They get all the money needed, from the President
There ain't no dollars for the needy 'cause it's all been spent
On guns and ammunition for our friends down south
And now the Communists are takin' food right out of our mouths yeh
CONTRA-CONTRADICTION
FIGHTING' FOR FREEDOM-FACT OR FICTION?
CONTRA-CONTRADICTION
LET'S GIVE THEM BOYS A HAND
It seems the liberals in Washinton are blowin' steam
'Cause it's a war by proxy, like you've never seen
Brother fightin' brother in a jungle land
You know all that they needed was a helpin' hand
Give the man a cannon-Give the boy a gun
'Cause the people in the villages are on the run
Don't wanna hear you puttin' down my Uncle Sam
Now don't it look a little like a Vietnam yeh
(CHORUS)....Yeh, yeh, yeh
(CHORUS 2x)
Let's give them boys a hand
C'mon and give them boys a hand


Too Many Years Gone By
Long ago on a Monday morning, she's already up and gone
Miles away without a warning-Never knowing for how long
I don't think that I will forget her, for her words were hard and cruel
She once called me a pretender, even though my love was true
And if I still had the number, would I hesitate to call?
Would she make me feel like cryin'-Would she make me feel so small?
THERE'S BEEN TOO MANY YEARS GONE BY
THERE'S BEEN TOO MANY YEARS GONE BY
How could I forget that winter, it was 10 long years ago
Blinded by the love between us-Blinded by the fallin' snow
She was everything that I needed-She was everything to me
Then the summer came and it freed her, and brought me down upon my knees
And if I still had the number, and if I had the nerve to call
Would we laugh about that winter-Would we laugh about it all?
(CHORUS)
There's been too many years gone by...and too many years tell lies
A heart is a lonely place, when a heart has its own mine
In mine there's an empty space, from a love that was left behind
(CHORUS)..and too many years tell lies
There's been too many years gone by, and too many years tell lies
There's been too many years gone by...Whoah, and too many years tell lies
