You Are The Deal

Black woman on the street with attitude
Spits thru her teeth and stares at you
White boy with the living blues
Spreads his hatred on a crowded tube

Some days I feel removed
When all I can do is think of you
I feel like I am being used yeah-yeah

Well you bruise me and you batter me and you make me feel the twist
I try to convince myself that I'm strong because of this
And my friends say you're beautiful but it's time I got real
And I read my Robert Johnson but I just can't change the way I feel

And this murder happens all around my heels
But it ain't real, you are the deal
And this poison's flowing all around my head
And here I am alone in bed

Old queen on a ship of fools
You worry that it might sail for you
White lines from the broken youth
Who hasn't got the nerve to question you

Some days I feel removed
When all I can do is think of you
Yeah, I feel like I've been abused yeah-yeah

Well you bruise me and you batter me and you make me feel dirt
And just for one minute I'd forgotten what I'm worth
My friends say you're beautiful but it's tI'me I got real
And I read my Robert Johnson but I just can't change the way I feel

This murder happens all around my heels
But it ain't real, you are the deal oh yeah
This poison's flowing all around my head
And here I am filled with regret

So is it not enough to just feel the love and give it
Why can't you give it?
And is it not enough to just feel the love and live it
Why can't you live it?
Why can't you give it?
Why can't I give it?

This murder happens all around my heels
But it ain't real, you are the deal oh yeah
This poison's flowing all around my head
And here I am alone in bed / filled with regret

You Are The Deal was the first version to be heard of "The Deal", a track on George's U Can Never b2 Straight (2002) album. I've kept this version of the lyrics for its slight differences.

Up And Down

You say the gods don't work for you well they work for me
You've got a wicked lack of faith and it's drowning me
Don't criticise just visualise the colours that you see
The signs of love is strong enough I'm not your enemy

Up and down, up and down we go
Always saying yes really meaning no
It's the game you play I'd love to say
Let go, let go

Up and down as you watch me fall
If you wanted it you could take it all
Shall I kiss your face you're in my space
Let go, you're in my space let go, let go

You say the gods don't work for you well they're lifting me
And you live your life behind my back so I cannot see
I realise to compromise would be a drag for you
Your god is wise your eyes are wide don't treat me like a fool

Up and down, up and down we go
Always saying yes really meaning no
It's the game you play I'd love to say
Let go, let go

Up and down as you watch me fall
If you wanted it you could take it all
Shall I kiss your face you're in my space
Let go, you're in my space let go, let go

Sometimes love just starves away....

You say the gods don't work for you well they work for me
You've got a wicked lack of faith and it's drowning me
Don't criticise just visualize the colours that you see
The signs of love is strong enough I'm not your enemy

Up and down, up and down we go
Always saying yes really meaning no
It's the game you play I'd love to say
Let go, let go

Up and down as you watch me fall
If you wanted it you could take it all
Shall I kiss your face you're in my space
Let go, you're in my space let go, let go

You Fill This Room

The fear of detashman unmeasurable
The beautiful sky has clouded too soon
It's strange how it takes you so long to decide
Well is this love or is it pride

You fill this room
Tough empty hearted
I find it hard to say goodbye
You fill this room
What have you started
There is a force I can't deny
No mather how far you run
The damage is done
You've hurt someone
And so you fill this room

The fear of destruction I can't let it go
I can't live without it but I want it too much
It's strange how it takes you so long to decide
Well is this love or is it pride

You fill this room
Tough empty hearted
I find it hard to say goodbye
You fill this room
What have I started
There is a force I can't deny
No mather how far you run
The damage is done
You've hurt someone
And so you fill this room

Days wrapped up in all the glory
A kiss or a telephone call
When I said you truly bore me
I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it at all

No mather how far you run
The damage is done
You've hurt someone
And so you fill this room
You fill this room
You fill this room

Dumb Dumb Boys

Excuse me will you smile
When you realise I'm not a dumb dumb species
Before you misconsume that I'm being screwed
Well you can never beat me

Your pretty face won't save you from yourself
You're beautiful go tell someone who cares
Don't blind my scale

Dumb dumb boys will leave you paralysed
Though you made me mesmorise
You will never be surprised
Cause those dumb dumb boys
Are just dumb dumb boys
Hold those simple paterns to you
Like some pretty charm for you, hey you oh yeah

I said forgive but don't forget
Too much regret go styling history
It's real divine, you were never mine
Her colours bleed my god he's so uncertain

Your pretty face won't save you from yourself
You're beautiful go tell someone who cares
Don't blind my scale

Dumb dumb boys will leave you paralised
Though you made me mesmorise
You will never be surprised
Cause those dumb dumb boys
Are just dumb dumb boys
Hold those simple paterns to you
Like some pretty charm for you, hey you oh yeah

Oh boy you're dumb
Come on flick my mind
Maybe some other time
It can be real divine

Dumb dumb boys doodada
Dumb dumb boys you'll never be surpriced
Dumb dumb boys you made me mesmorise
Dumb dumb boys doodada
Dumb dumb boys never be surprised
Dumb dumb boys doodada
Dumb dumb boys give it up

Coming Down To Meet You

Coming down to meet you
I'm coming down to meet you
I'm coming down to meet you
I'm coming down to meet you

I got to let this telling me
I should not be your enemy but fuck'em
I got to let this telling me
I should not be your enemy but damn

Coming down to meet you
Coming down to meet you
Coming down to meet you
I'm coming down to meet you

Are We In Love or Just Killing Time?

Another wrapped up clown I feel just like a child
Dizzing on the rollercoaster of desire
If opposites attract then this was meant to be
Could you find the ways in your broken heart for me

I know you think it's wrong to take the things you need
But for the upper god we're shaking through this dream

Are we in love yeah
Are we just killing time
I would do anything to fill this fake and see you cry
Are we in love yeah
Are we in love

They say there is no cure your innocence is sweet
Did you find your ways in your twisted mind for me
Away away away I'm such a patient boy
The way this room is cold are meaning to my soul

I know you think it's wrong to have the things you need
But for the upper god we're shaking through this dream

Are we in love yeah
Are we just killing time
I would do anything to fill this fake and see you cry
Are we in love yeah
Are we in love

I know you think it's wrong to take the things you need
But for the upper god we're shaking through this dream

Are we in love yeah
Are we just killing time
I would do anything to fill this fake and see you cry
Are we in love yeah
Are we in love

All Things Wise

Weakness is my child lying in the wood
Crying all the way from the cradle to the tomb
See my mother's tears roll down from her sad eyes
Wishing I could change her life

Talk about my destiny I don't understand
Maybe it's too obvious for any angry man

All things wise yearned by my eyes
All things wise
All things wise yearned by your eyes
All things wise

Suicidal boy in a darkened room
No one can convince him he'll be happy soon
No one heard his tears and no one saw the signs
They stopped to watch you all grow for you will die inside

Talk about my destiny I am more than flesh
And if Jesus will contempt me there is one thing you forget

All things wise yearned by my eyes
All things wise
All things wise yearned by your eyes
All things wise

Fill a child with hatred man don't see the madness in his eyes
Let anger be your safety god I cannot say that you are blind, you are blind
yeah

Polity is a word to those who have a choice
Hunger is a season that noone should retrace
Half the demons sing the lord in your eye
The devils on the highway killed the angels in the sky

All things wise yearned by my eyes
All things wise
All things wise yearned by your eyes
All things wise
All things wise

20th Century Jesus

Spilled down on the road
You wanna know just how I feel
Self-destruction is your course
To be crucified for sure
Look at you, you've got it all
Perfect lips no selfesteem
In my mirror god's reflection
But you don't know what it means

And it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
When you're mother's on the road
You dive to far to heas the court
You're on your own 20th century Jesus
Go all alone like a 20th century Jesus
Go all alone like a 20th century Jesus

Right down on your knees
It all I know just how you feel
Isolation is your fear
But you just won't let me near
Look at you, you've got it all
Pretty face is there to see
In the mirror god's reflection
But you just cannot believe

And it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
When your father's eyes are cold
You dive to far to heas the court
You're on your own 20th century Jesus
Go all alone like a 20th century Jesus
Go all alone like a 20th century Jesus

When you fell from the box I didn't chose
I dried your eyes
When we suffered this crucifiction
Too many times

Nooo what have I done
Ooh god's only son
No the rays are black
Shine on you tonight

And it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor
When your father's eyes are cold
You dive to far to heas the court
You're on your own 20th century Jesus
Go all alone like a 20th century Jesus
Go all alone like a 20th century Jesus
