All That Jazz Lyrics
All That Jazz was the first album for Breathe, and it was released four times, the first time with four members and ten songs, the second time with four members and 11 songs, the next two were with three members and 10 songs and three members and 11 songs . Michael Delahunty played bass guitar on the first two, but was absent on the third and fourth, which were re-released later. Two of the releases have
the song "For Love or Money", a new track. I picked up a copy of the 3-piece, 11 song ATJ in 1993 at the Virgin Megastore in Picadilly Circus in London. I was thrilled to find the extra song, even more thrilled to see that the lyrics were printed! Now I can sing the real lyrics instead of my own! I finally caved in and bought all four versions. The copy with 3 members and the black cover has the words for "Don't Tell Me Lies", which are not on the other version with the black cover.

Jonah
(All tracks written by David Glasper/Marcus Lillington except "Liberties of Love", by D. Glasper/D. Schogger)
She's a lady you'll remember
Wrapped in mystery and style
She's just one of love's pretenders
On her heart you can't rely
When she's dressed to kill, have you the strength of will, to turn away
Don't you hunger boy, for she's no toy, or soon you'll pay...
Sarah, Sarah, my misfortune never looked so sweet
Just like Jonah, You bring me stormy seas with your deceit.
Now her charm just overwhelms me
Is my heart already sold!
I think of what my father told me
All that glitters is not gold
I'm in a cold, cold sweat and the more I fret, my fever will rise
It's a 'No Go Slow', I must leave this show before I'm her prize.
Sarah, Sarah, my misfortune never looked so sweet
Just like Jonah, you bring me stormy seas with your deceit.
You know I should be wise, I've seen through her disguise
She'll bring me stormy seas just like Jonah
You know I'm hooked on dreams, on all that may have been
She'll bring me stormy seas, just like Jonah.
Sarah, Sarah, my misfortune never looked so sweet
Just like Jonah, you bring me stormy seas with your deceit.
Jonah, Jonah, just like Jonah
Jonah, Jonah, just like Jonah.
Jonah tried to sail away,
Ah, ah, Jonah
Catch that boat to a brighter day, remember Jonah
Don't mock the Lord, don't take his word in vain
For Sarah, judgement day will come again.
Jonah rode those stormy seas, ah, ah, Jonah
For the Lord above he would not please, remember Jonah.
Jonah was swallowed by the whale, ah, ah, Jonah
He was soon to pray when he knew he'd failed.
All That Jazz
In the corner of a bar a fat man sweats with a fistful of Dirty Dollars
Well he pushed so far when he tried to bet like Newman in the Hustler.
There's a baby blonde with cool blue eyes she wants to be Monroe
For fame she longs that shining prize to be the star of a movie show.
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Keeps them moving on
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz.
By a pinball machine a young man runs his fingers through his hair
On the silver screen he's seen James Dean fame he wants to share.
There's a chorus girl works night and day she slaves to learn her trade
She'd give the world, kneel down and pray, to be the star of a broadway stage.
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Keeps them moving on
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
They just float around in that tinseltown
Ride the breeze that may blow to stardom
Famous party nites was my smile alright
Shake those hands that may guide their fortune
There in the game where the strongest will survive
The weak fall by the wayside
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Keeps them moving on
All that jazz, that Hollywood jazz
Monday Morning Blues
God knows I work, so many hours
I neeed a change of scene
I know some day I will fight the power
To be a man of means
Be a part of that game
Where your money's talking
Ride that train to where your fortune's smiling
Leave behind a poor man's life
His days are bitches
I have dreams of trading rags for riches
Monday morning blues
You know a prayer will see me through
Monday morning blues
You know I'll make my dreams come true.
It's so routine, this life I'm leading
I've got to break away
I must to be mad, it's soul destroying
No man should live this way.
Should I reach for the sky
Or just wait for mercy
Don't ask why then leave the answer to history
If a man should know his place
Some men live in sorrow
With or without grace I'll fight for tomorrow
Monday morning blues
You know a prayer will see me through
Monday morning blues
You know I'll make my dreams come true.
Hands To Heaven
As I watch you move, across the moonlit room
There's so much tenderness in your loving
Tomorrow I must leave, the dawn knows no reprieve
God give me strength when I am leaving...
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
As we move to embrace, tears run down your face
I whisper words of love, so softly
I can't believe this pain, it's driving me insane
Without your touch, life will be lonely
So raise your hands to heaven and pray
That we'll be back together someday
Tonight, I need your sweet caress
Hold me in the darkness
Tonight, you calm my restlessness
You relieve my sadness
Morning has come, another day
I must pack my bags and say goodbye...
All This I Should Have Known
If only I'd tried a little harder
To reach this goal
To reach your soul
If only we'd been a little closer
If only we'd pulled together
I'll try to leave behind
This sense of wasted time
So much promise we denied
If only I'd let go of my pride
Cast my doubts and fears aside
All this I should have known
All this I should have known
Hold me one more time
Hold me while we dance together
Hold me now our love has gone
We tried to talk to no avail
We knew inside that this had failed
With you, I could never say what lay within my heart
With you, there was always something keeping us apart
With you, I was never really sure-
Hold me one more time
Hold me while we dance together
Hold me now our love has gone
We tried to talk to no avail
We knew inside that this had failed
All this I should have known
All this I should have known
Any Trick
I can't stand this tension
I'm pulling out my hair
I sweat blood, day and night for you
You know this can't be fair
Tearing at my very soul
Wounding me with words
Shaking, as I lose control
I must be on the verge
You've even got me crawling on my hands and knees for you
I'm just your private clown, and there's no trick that I won't do
Ah, baby you've got me jumping like a monkey
I'm so crazy, I'll do any trick for you
Baby, you've got me jumping like a monkey
I'm so crazy, I'll do any trick for you
Doctor just can't cure me
Of this strange disease
All the symptoms that I show
Won't remedy with ease
Madness, chugging like a train
I'm fixed upon these rails
When the fuse goes in my brain
My sanity will fail
Ah, baby you've got me jumping like a monkey
I'm so crazy, I'll do any trick for you
Baby, you've got me jumping like a monkey
I'm so crazy, I'll do any trick for you
I'm just your whipping boy
Hangin' on each word you say
Love, so near insanity
This time push me all the way, all the way.
Liberties of Love
You walk in at all hours of day, and the night
No matter what you do you always think you're right
See it my way, go and try
Have you ever heard of honesty
Once bitten, twice shy
Don't you know you're taking liberties
Liberties of love
Liberties with my love
Liberties of love
Liberties with my love
Don't be fool enough to think I will stay around
Another lover is always there, waiting to be found
Yes, I will leave some day
So I can walk away with dignity
Just one thing, left to say
You won't be lonely with your vanity
Liberties of love
Liberties with my love
Liberties of love
Liberties with my love
I took so long to see the light, liberties...
Now I know your're wrong from right, libeties...
1/2 verse
Chorus out
Won't You Come Back
When I fear I believe when I'm safe I turn away
Just who do I deceive, as I change from day to day
Like sand through my fingers I watch you slip away
Like those dreams you try to hold they leave when you are away
Won't you come back
Won't you come back
Given time will I see, will I ever know your face
And when I think, I'm almost there I only find an empty space
Like sand through my fingers I watch you slip away
Like those dreams you try to hold they leave when you are away
Won't you come back
Won't you come back
Won't you come back
Won't you come back
Won't you come back-won't you come back
Given time will I see, given time will I know
Won't you come, won't you come back
Won't you come back, won't you come back
Don't Tell Me Lies
Every move you made before was never meant for real
Over my naivety is this how I should feel
Burning with my own desire, visions that all seem so clear
Now I see this in your eyes, there'll never ever be another one
Don't Tell Me Lies
Don't Tell Me Lies
Looking back I realize it's always been this way
We must note what has gone and never turn away
When desire takes hold of me, what I've seen just sets me free
Now I see this in your eyes, there'll never ever be another one
Don't Tell Me Lies
Don't Tell Me Lies
Don't Tell Me Lies
Broken loose from indecision
Now I'm alright on my own
Still I wait for your confession
I guess I'm alright on my own
Don't Tell Me Lies
Don't Tell Me Lies
Dont don't don't tell me, don't don't don't tell me
(Chorus to end...)
For Love or Money
My desire for love had overcome my senses
I longed for someone who could hold me
An open heart lets go of all defenses
Her real intentions had been there to see
I believed it right to keep my devotion
It's so hard to fight when dreams are in motion
For love or money
Do you give me your affection
For love or money
Do you tear at my emotions
Only time can tell, the truth in all our feelings
It's cruel to think that you could use me so
When we're blind with love, much can be deceiving
I must confess this thought, I'm scared to know
I believed it right to keep my devotion
It's so hard to fight when dreams are in motion
For love or money
Do you give me your affection
For love or money
Do you tear at my emotions
Do you live a lie, you keep so much inside
Will you bleed me dry! One fear I just can't hide
Chorus out
How Can I Fall?
Give me time to care, the moments here for us to share
Still my heart is not always there
What more can I say to you
Could I lie to you, I'm just too weak to face the truth
Now I know I should make a move
What more can I say
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
When all faith is gone, I fight myself to carry on
Yet I know of the harm I do what more can I say to you
Now I hold this line, I know the choice to leave is mine
I can't help what I feel inside
What more can I say
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons at all
I'll follow through, I'll see I do
When the time is far more right for you
I'll make that move, and when I do
Will I doubt again, the way I do
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons
Just won't give me reasons at all
How can I fall, I fall, I fall
How can I fall for you
How can I fall, how can I fall
When you just won't give me reasons
When you just won't give me reasons
