Gloria Deluxe: Lyrics: S/T: all that has passed through these little hands

GLORIA DELUXE

Hooker

teeth like yours
I can't help lovin' you
homage to drink
my head and feet are swollen
the American landscape
how it was
ALL THAT HAS PASSED THROUGH THESE LITTLE HANDS
Nahant (instrumental)
quit while you're ahead
Lord don't look at me
layout of the apartment
(yes I am a) drunken whore
oh mother please forgive me
brief love is true love
coda

gets hard and harder, the piston strains to the mortar
that's when I'm in love I'm in love I'm in love
what I seek is rhythm
put that strain into my head Lord
Lord take me and make me reel,
take these fantasies and turn them into a reality
Lord I know it's a simple and a dumb wish
I know that I'm stupid, Lord, but grant me this:
if you can be kind Lord, I can be strong
if you can be kind Lord, I can be faithful
I can be patient, I can be loving, I can be strong
I can be evil, I can be wicked, I can be alone
I can be truthful, I can be a liar, I can be lost
I can be evil, I can be wicked, I can be one
so stand alone, stand alone
Lord take it from my gentle hands
what I want is music, what I want is living, what I want is this:
what I want is myself unto the borders and into the bliss
what I want is a record of all that has passed through these little hands
what I want is a record of all that I have loved
and all that I will
and I want a picture, a picture that I can kiss
my little sweetheart, my true and new one,
my one and only love
