(Victoria Banks)

We’re only human, baby
We walk on broken ground
We lose our way
We come unwound
We’ll turn in circles, baby
We’re never satisfied
We’ll fall from grace
Forget we can fly
But through all the tears that we cried
We’ll survive

Cause when we’re torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We’re just two tarnished hearts
When in each other’s arms
We become saints and angels.

I love your imperfections
I love your everything
Your broken heart, your broken wings
I love you when you hold me
And when you turn away
I love you still and I’m not afraid
Cause I know you feel the same way
And you’ll stay

Cause when we’re torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We’re just two tarnished hearts
When in each other’s arms
We become saints and angels.

These feet of clay (these feet of clay)
They will not stray

Cause when we’re torn apart
Shattered and scarred
Love has the grace to save us
We’re just two tarnished hearts
When in each other’s arms
We become saints and angels.
Saints and angels

Oooh, Oooh
Oooh, Oooh
Oooooh

Chorus

Fresh for 2000, let’s go

Sainte-Marie de la Mer
Another sunrise from the sea
Broken wings
Are drifting on the water
Desolate plans ?
And the yellow sand
leaves a trace of blood
A shadow kicking cans
Last days of fantasy


Stop it
Do it, Do it
Do it right now
Stop it
Do it, Do it
Do it right now
Stop it
Do it right now
Stop it
Sainte-Marie de la Mer

They play again
Their favourite game
One eyed heroes
Following the leader
At noon lies by the shore
Awash it like a whore
In the summer heat
Prophets show the way
Painted faces
Hiding fears


One-eyed heroes
Following the leader
At noon lies by the shore
Awash it like a whore
In the summer heat
Prophets show the way
Painted faces
Hiding fears

There’s a place that’s full of danger
Not a good place for good girls
It’s a place that’s full of strangers
Watching you, wanting you
Who’d have thought
You’d jump on the wild ride with me

You make me feel like dancin’
Down on the riviera
There’s a town called Saint Tropez
Where a girl like you’s a
“Pachanguera”
You make me feel like dancin’
We’ll make it last forever
Let’s go away to Saint Tropez
‘Cause a girl like you’s a
“Pachanguera”

We’re makin’ love, with just a glance
Un nouvo amor, a new romance

There’s a world that sleeps inside you
It’s a world of reedom
It’s a place
Where every dream you dream
Can come true
Who’d have thought
You’d waken your wild side
‘Cause you were like a beauty queen
Who’d have thought
Your Pandora’s box was me

You make me feel like dancin’
Down on the riviera
There’s a town called Saint Tropez
Where a girl like you’s a
“Pachanguera”
You make me feel like dancin’
We’ll make it last forever

Who’d have thought
You’d walk on the wild side
‘Cause you were always so pristine
Who’d have thought
You’d jump on the wild ride with me

You make me feel like dancin’
Down on the riviera
There’s a town called Saint Tropez
Where a girl like you’s a
“Pachanguera”
You make it feel like real thing

Saint Paul the persecutor
Was a cruel and sinful man

And then his life began

He loved women, wine and song
And all the special pleasures
Of doing something wrong

Oh yeah, oh yeah
You’ll never make a saint of me

And could you stand the torture
And could you stand the pain
Could you put your faith in Jesus
When you’re burning in the flames

And I do believe in miracles
And I want to save my soul
And I know that I’m a sinner
I’m gonna die here in the cold
I said yes, I said yeah

I said yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah
You’ll never make a saint of me
Oh yeah, oh yeah
You’ll never make a saint of me

I thought I heard an angel cry
I thought I saw a teardrop falling from his eye

But he stirred up Herod’s hate
And Salome got her wish
To have him served up on a plate
I said yes

Saint Joe he said he’s never been
Dressed up like a woman
Saint Joe they said your dad was gay
They said your mom she’s a whore
They said it ’til you were raw
They said your mom’s she’s a bore
They made her beg them for more
My Aunt Mary, Aunt Mary
Aunt Mary says they have the darkness there in their eyes
Saint Joe he said he’s never been
Made up like a woman
Saint Joe the time is coming when
When Mary never will return
When Mary never will come back here..yeah
Mary never will return
O’ Mary please come home
O’ my Aunt Mary, Aunt Mary
Aunt Mary says they have the darkness there in their eyes

O’ my aunt Mary, Aunt Mary
Aunt Mary says they have the darkness there
They have the family disease
They have the darkness there in their minds

Born of the river,
Born of its ever-changing, never-changing murky water
Oh riverboat just rollin’ along through the great great greasy city Huck standing like a Saint, upon its deck
If ya wanna catch a Saint,
then bait ya hook, let’s take a walk…


‘O come to me!, O come to me!’ is what the dirty city
say to Huck… HUCK


woah-woah, woah woah!
woah-woah, woah woah!
Saint Huck! Huck!


Straight in the arms of the city goes Huck,
down the beckonin’ streets of op-po-tunity
whistling his favorite river-song…
And a bad-blind nigger at the piano
Buts a sinister blooo lilt into that sing-a-long
Huck senses somthing’s wrong!


Sirens wail in the city,
and lil-Ulysses turn to putty
and Ol Man River’s got a bone to pick!
and our boy’s hardly got a bone to suck!
He go, woah-woah, woah woah!
woah-woah, woah woah!
Saint Huck! Huck!


The mo-o-o-on, its huge cycloptic eye
watches the city streets contract
twist and cripple and crack.
Saint Huck goes on a dog’s-leg now
Saint Huck goes on a dog’s-leg now


You know the story!
Ya wake up one morning and you find you’re a thug
blowing smoke rings in some dive
Ya fingers hot and itchin, ya cracking ya knuckles
Ya bull neck bristling…
Still Huck he ventures on whistling,
and Death reckons Huckleberry’s time is up,
O woah woah woah!
Saint Huck!
O woah woah woah!
Saint Huck! Huck!


Yonder go Huck, minus pocket-watch an’ wallet gone
Skin shrink-wraps his skeleton
No wonder he gets thinner, what with his cold’n’skinny dinners!
Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis, Saint Huck-a-Saint Elvis
O you recall the song ya used to sing-a-long
Shifting the river-trade on that ol’ steamer
Life is but a dream!


But ya traded in the Mighty ol’ man River
for the Dirty ol’ Man Latrine!
The brothel shift
The hustle’n’the bustle and the green-backs rustle
And all the sexy-cash
And the randy-cars
And the two dollar fucks
O o o ya outa luck, ya outa luck
Woah-woah-woah-woah
Saint Huck! Huck!


This is the track of deception
leads to the heart of despair
Huck whistles like he just don’t care
but in the pocket of the jacket is a chamber
Lead pellets sleeps in there
Wake Up!


Now Huck whistles and he kneels
and he lays down there
See ya huck, good luck
A smoke ring hovers above his head
And the rats and the dogs and the men all come
and put a bullet through his eye
and the drip and the drip and the drip of the Mississippi cryin’ And Saint Huck hears his own Mississippi just rollin’ by him Woah-woah-woah-woah
Woah-woah-woah-woah
Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck!
Woah-woah-woah-woah
Woah-woah-woah-woah
Saint Huck! Saint Huck! Saint Huck!
Woah-woah-woah-woah

If somebody up there likes me somebody up there cares
Deliver me from evil save me from these wicked snares
Not into temptation, not to cliffs of fall
On to revelation, and lesson for us all
She walked into the room on the arm of my best friend
I knew whatever happened our friendship would end
Chemical reaction, desire at first sight
Mystical attraction, turned out all my lights

The minute I saw her face, the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

I don’t know if it’s pain or pleasure that I seek
My flesh was all too willing, my spirit guide was weak
I was deadly certain his thoughts for me weren’t kind
A switchblade in his pocket, murder on his mind
Blessed St. Theresa the whore of Babylon
Madonna and my mother all rolled into one
You’ve got to understand me, I’m not a piece of wood
Francis of Assisi could never be this good

The less I need the more I get
Make me chaste but not just yet
It’s a promise or a lie I’ll repent before I die

The minute I saw her face, the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw her face, the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

Relax, have a cigar, make yourself at home. Hell is full of high court
judges, failed saints. We’ve got Cardinals, Archbishops, barristers,
certified accountants, music critics, they’re all here. You’re not
alone, you’re never alone. Not here you’re not. Okay, break’s over.

The less I need the more I get
Make me chaste but not just yet
It’s a promise or a lie I’ll repent before I die

The minute I saw her face, the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die
The minute I saw her face, the second I caught her eye
The minute I touched the flame I knew it would never die

I’m getting off this carousel, you can do as you please, you can go to hell
You put my back against the wall
Well I’m not gonna fall on my knees, no not at all
Chorus:
So you’re a saint, I’m a sinner, but deuces are wild
Better wake up, it’s break up, I ain’t got the time
So (baby) you can kiss my heart bye bye

Next to you I feel I’m all alone, love’s turned to stone, ooh yeah
Cross my heart and hope to cry, well I’m not gonna die
Without you it’s aces high

chorus

Bye bye babe

Kiss my heart bye bye, you missed my heart this time around
Kiss my heart bye bye, and I don’t need no one at all, no!

There’s no right and there’s no wrong, I’m moving on
I’ll go it alone, because love’s turned to stone

chorus

So bye bye babe, bye bye babe
No I’m not gonna die, cross my heart and hope to cry

No no no no I’m not gonna die, so bye bye bye babe
Well I’m not gonna die without you babe
No I’m not gonna die

You don’t pass your time in limbo
Or hang out with the crowd
Sitting on the stoop like a little girl
Who took the wrong road into town
But you got that short cut way about you
And no one’s gonna stare you down
You cook much better on a lower flame
You burn much better when the sun goes down

And heaven can wait
But you ought to be a saint
I got your very best intentions
Helping me along
And if I ever fail to mention
You were an overnight sensation
Well take it from me
My baby’s a saint
My baby’s a saint

I believe you were a new arrival
On the fast train passing through
And you traded in your luck for survival
To sweeten up the witch’s brew
You had a better way of working magic
A little mystery in your eyes
Instead of rolling over you remained the same
You took the whole world by surprise
