Kidnapped 02:52
I wanna get you kidnapped I wanna get you abducted You'll never know I was behind it And then I'll come and rescue you You'd throw your arms around me And say that I was your hero And then you'd wanna kiss me And that's exactly what you'd do The problem is, is that we're good friends The problem is, is that I wanna be your man You're feelin’ ten o'clock Tuesday On midnight, Saturday I wonder if before we met I could change the course before it’s set If I was a little colder, older Served you some Tanqueray Or... I could invent an engine That would solve the crisis of energy It'd probably have to do with magnets And you would be so proud of me You'd throw your arms around me And say that I was your hero And then you'd wanna kiss me And that's exactly what you'd do It's true I've known you For so long But you'd be wrong To believe You're seein' all of me Even if you could, you'd never leave I wanna get you kidnapped I wanna get you abducted You'll never know I was behind it And then I'll come and rescue you You'd throw your arms around me And say that I was your hero And then you'd wanna kiss me And that's exactly what you'd do

The ladies in Dubai They really love my eyes And they weep their woes On their radio shows When I say goodbye Well, goddamn! I'll give you what you came for My stars! But you want more Well Claire in Kuwait doesn't care to wait For me to get back down So she can levitate Look in my eyes Then look out below You wanna hold on But then you let go My suit’s a mess Such a disgrace But I don't worry Everybody loves my face The curve of my lip I know you want a sip And they won't let go in Burkina Faso Once they've tasted it Well, goddamn! I'll give you what you came for My stars! But you want more Well blues wreck Ann in Uzbekistan When she wonders if she's ever Gonna see me again Look in my eyes Then look out below You wanna hold on But then you let go My suit’s a mess Such a disgrace But I don't worry Everybody loves my face Oh! You can't help it 'Cause when you see it You wanna touch it Look in my eyes Then look out below You wanna hold on But then you let go I plead my guilt In every single case But I don't worry Everybody loves my face Shut up!

Call My Name 03:08
All I do every day Is work for you, my love Spend all my salary 'Cause you can never have enough But I don't regret, not a little bit 'Cause how much better can it get? Girl, this is it! Swipe the card and sign the slip Don't bite your tongue, baby Don't you restrain 'Cause I'll be comin', girl When you call my name All my history Goes up in flames Every time I listen, lady When you call my name You'd get the devil drunk With the way you move And I'm sure the lord got laid The night before he made you The slammin' doors, the traffic groans The inane crowds, the telephones I get confused But a sweet sound still comes through Don't bite your tongue, baby Don't you restrain 'Cause I'll be comin', girl When you call my name It's late at night when my Roommates complain 'Cause you get crazy, lady When you call my name Well, I dreamt I was lost out at sea And all the animals Were makin' fun of me Above the seagulls’ cry And the whales’ song My love, I hear your voice So gentle and so strong What took so long? My dead end job Every day's the same But it seems to change When you call my name If I stumble hard If I lose the game Well, baby, I'm my daddy's shame So come on now! Call my name Give me that sunshine Let your voice strain 'Cause I'll be comin' girl When you call my name My hair might grey a bit and my My voice might up and quit but I But I can handle it If you still call my name

Five Steps 03:10
You come off like you're so tame Ten o'clock you start to change You don't even know my name But you're backin' up on me just the same Grab the tab; I think it's time to pay Call a cab and we'll be on our way You're starting to bite your lip Like you're so eager about it Like you'll die without it Hold on Girl, you actin' crazy You love All the bad things about me Half naked on the hallway floor Well, hold on We're just five steps to my door Back seat of the cab, ya know My hand underneath your clothes We still got four blocks to go But the driver sure does enjoy the show Got me up against the front door I know that you can't wait anymore Move your head so I can grab my keys You can't go a night without it You're not shy about it Hold on Girl, you actin' crazy You love All the bad things about me Half naked on the hallway floor Well, hold on We're just five steps to my door Hey, baby, you're a fine, fine lady But you can't stand waitin' Just to get me home Hold on Girl, you actin' crazy You love All the bad things about me Half naked on the hallway floor Well, hold on We're just five steps to my door

(Nah nah nah na-na-na-nah) (Na-na-na-nah) (Nah nah nah na-na-na-nah) (Na-na-na-nah) I burn the streets To the castle that he keeps you in I walk alone Though I'm leadin' forty thousand men I launched a thousand ships Just to touch your hips My love, my love You've got me acting like a lunatic I've come so far So far just to get you home Love you all night long We'll leave the lights on Why do I do the things I do Because I want you Because I want you so bad Why do I do the things I do Because I want you Because I want you so bad Well! So now I see That you went with him so willingly My love, my love You know the jealousy is killing me But when I ask you why You offer one reply Slide off your dress And your body is your alibi I know the story The story will be spun You'll stand in the sun I'll be the bad one Why do I do the things I do Because I want you Because I want you so bad Why do I do the things I do Because I want you Because I want you so bad (Nah nah nah na-na-na-nah) (Na-na-na-nah) (Nah nah nah na-na-na-nah) (Na-na-na-nah) I, I want you so bad I, I want you so I, I want you so bad I, I want you so I, I want you so bad I, I want you so I, I want you so bad I, I want you so Why do I do the things I do Because I want you Because I want you so bad Why do I do the things I do Because I want you Because I want you so bad Yeah I want you so bad I want you so bad Oh, I want you so I, I want you so bad I, I want you so I, I want you so bad I, I want you so

So Close 03:07
I talk about these things just to get on through The things I love that the devil hates in you Like the joy you bring when you laugh and sing I think about the times we never had I saw you once again with your lovely lad Nothing I can do These things are true Just like the sun shine Makes the moon glow And we came so close A wrong turn when you begin a trip Even if you're off by just a little bit After a while it's miles and miles Well, goddamn, girl Don't you think about it? You and me and the world And how we'd fly around it? On the joy you bring When you laugh and sing And baby you'd come As I go And we came so close And you'd shine And I'd glow But we'll never know You start out east Me in the west We laid the track We did our best When at last we met at The Great Divide We were off by miles on either side The stage is set I'm in the front row But you missed the show And we came so close

Once a week, I'm a superstar Got a special seat at the bar The smoothest voice that you've ever heard And I don't need to read the words Don't even care if they like my song And I don't care if they sing along 'Cause all I need is a microphone And I don't care that I go home alone 'Cause it's Monday night And I think I'm gonna bring the house down Maybe you could sing a song or two But I think we know that I sing better than you I see you take another long look To find your weapon in the songbook The DJ already knows mine 'Cause I've been comin' here for a long time Just ask the girl at the hostess stand She really wants me to be her man She's just too shy to applaud, you see Must be too shy just to talk to me But it's Monday night (Monday night) And I think I'm gonna bring the house down Maybe you could sing a song or two I think we know that I sing better than you Well, it's Monday night (Monday night) And I think I'm gonna get a standin' O I'm sure you'll sing your little song just fine I think we know that they came to hear mine Hold on till... Just a little longer still One of these days and she'll Look my way, then we'll Take a bus into the city lights She'll take my hand and we'll talk all night Just as long as she holds me tight Everything will be all right But here's the real sad thing That no matter how high I sing She'll never want to be with me But I still got my one night a week And that's Monday night (Monday night) And I think I'm gonna bring the house down Maybe you could sing a song or two I think we know that I sing better than you Well, it's Monday night (Monday night) And I think I'm gonna get a standin' O I'm sure you'll sing your little song just fine I think we know that they came They came to hear mine (Monday night, Monday night) They came to hear mine (Monday night, Monday night) (Monday night, Monday night) (Monday night, Monday night) They came to hear mine

"We're going down," the pilot said As the masks dropped from the overhead And there's so much I should ask god to forgive But now there's nothing left to lose I think of words I kept from you And how we've only got one minute left to live I don't care if we can't be friends 'Cause we're so close to the end So I tell you through the din That I love you I tell you the hell that I've been through Trying to keep this all from you How before we met I only dreamt of you But now as we're falling through the air I run my fingers through your hair And swear that every single word I said is true I look you in the eye We're running out of sky Don't waste this moment asking, "Why?" I always told you we could fly "We're going down," the pilot said As the masks dropped from the overhead And I guess there's only one thing left to do So let's get married here today Not much commitment, anyway We've only got about 35 seconds to get through

Rock Star 04:51
I ain't a rock star, no I'm just broken-hearted It's when you let me go That's when the party started I'm going out tonight Startin' tabs tonight Sing the ladies all a song till I feel all right I meet a girl and then Maybe she's got a friend Go to bed and wake up and do it again I ain't a rock star, no I'm just broken-hearted I'm a tidal wave, I'm a hurricane I'm a fireball, I'm a freight train I ain't a rock star I'm just broken-hearted I can't stop once I get started You know you really oughta go to the show But I know you won't go You know you really oughta go to the show But I know you won't go I ain't a rock star, no I'm just broken-hearted It's like the captain drowned Right when the ship departed I'm going out tonight Sold out tonight Get deaf from the drums and blind from the light Get off stage and then Piss off another friend Go to bed and wake up and do it again I ain't a rock star, no I'm just broken-hearted I'm a tidal wave, I'm a hurricane I'm a fireball, I'm a freight train I ain't a rock star I'm just broken-hearted I can't stop once I get started You know you really oughta go to the show But I know you won't go You know you really oughta go to the show But I know you won't go And on the day you said goodbye Well, I was already high And on the day that I die I hope dying's all that I haven't tried Oh won't you make sense of it all Oh won't you be there Won't you stop me, hold me, catch me When I fall You know you really oughta go to the show (But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go) You know you really oughta go to the show (But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go) You know you really oughta go to the show (But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go) You know you really oughta go to the show (But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go) You know you really oughta go to the show (But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go) You know you really oughta go to the show (But you know that I can't go, no, I can't go) You oughta go You know you really oughta go You know you really oughta go I ain't a rock star, no I'm just broken-hearted

Ya Know 03:36
Well, if you wanna get drunk Then get drunk I ain't gonna stop you I ain't gonna stop you Ya know And if you wanna go out Then go out I can go out with you I can go out with you Ya know Like the forest through the trees I'm so close but you can't see So I hold you patiently I would lie and I would steal For just one word of how you feel And if you wanna set sail Then set sail I will be here waiting Waiting without fail Ya know And if you run aground Run aground I'll be coming 'round Till you're safe and sound Ya know Like the forest through the trees I'm so close but you can't see So I hold you patiently I would lie and I would steal For just one word of how you feel And if you're gonna get old Then get old I will always love you I will always love you Ya know

about

Sidewalk Driver Boston

The music of Sidewalk Driver is high energy, highly-infectious, hook-driven, Rock with a capital 'R.' The sound is modern but the heart of the band seems to be more in line with 1970s rock culture - the Bowies & the Belushis of the world. The songs always come with some odd bent but not one that repels; rather, they welcome you to join in the celebration like a carnival barker hyping a freak show. ... more
