DROWNED WORLD/SUBSTITUTE FOR LOVE Madonna/William Orbit/Rod McKuen/Anita Kerr/David Collins I traded fame for love Without a second thought It all became a silly game Some things cannot be bought I got exactly what I asked for Wanted it so badly Running, rushing back for more I suffered fools, so gladly And now I find I've changed my mind The face of you, my substitute for love My substitute for love Should I wait for you, my substitute for love My substitute for love I travelled round the world Looking for a home I found myself in crowded rooms Feeling so alone I had so many lovers Who settled for the thrill Of basking in my spotlight I never felt so happy The face of you, my substitute for love My substitute for love Should I wait for you, my substitute for love My substitute for love Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Ohh Famous faces, far off places, trinkets I can buy No handsome stranger, heady danger, drug that I can try No ferris wheel, no heart to steal, no laughter in the dark No one night stand, no far off land, no fire I can spark Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm The face of you, my substitute for love My substitute for love Should I wait for you, my substitute for love My substitute for love Now I find I've changed my life This is my religion |

RAY OF LIGHT Madonna/William Orbit/Clive Muldoon/Dave Curtis/Christine Leach Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder Do my tears of mourning Sink beneath the sun She's got herself a universe gone quickly For the call of thunder, threatens everyone And I feel like I just got home. And I feel And I feel like I just got home. And I feel Faster than the speeding light she's flying Tying to remember where it all began She's got herself a little piece of heaven Waiting for the time when earth shall be as one And I feel like I just got home. And I feel And I feel like I just got home. And I feel Quicker than a Ray of Light Quicker than a Ray of Light Quicker than a Ray of Light Zephyr in the sky at night I wonder Do my tears of mourning Sink beneath the sun She's got herself a universe gone quickly For the call of thunder, threatens everyone And I feel Quicker than a Ray of Light Then gone for someone else will be there Trought the endless year She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe She's got herself a universe And I feel, and I feel, and I feel Like I just got home And I feel Quicker than a Ray of Light she's flying Quicker than a Ray of Light I'm flying |

THE POWER OF GOOD-BYE |
TO HAVE AND NOT TO HOLD Madonna/Rick Nowels To have and not to hold So hot yet so cold My heart is in your hand And yet you never stand Close enough for me to have my way To love but not to keep To laugh but to weep Your eyes they go right through And yet you never do Anything to make me want to stay Like a moth to a flame Only I am to blame Ba ba da ba ba ba. What can I do Ba ba da ba ba ba. I go straight to you Ba ba da ba ba ba. I've been told You're to have, not to hold To look but not to see To kiss but never be The object of your desire I'm walking on a wire And there's no one at all To break my fall Like a moth to a flame Only I am to blame Ba ba da ba ba ba. What can I do Ba ba da ba ba ba. I go straight to you Ba ba da ba ba ba. I've been told You're to have, not to hold You're to have, not to hold You're to have, not to hold |
LITTLE STAR |
MER GIRL Madonna/William Orbit I ran from my house That cannot contain me From the man that I cannot keep From my mother who haunts me Even though she's gone From my daughter that never sleeps I ran from the noise and the silence From the traffic on the streets I ran to the treetops I ran to the sky Out of the lake Into the rain That matted my hair And soaked my shoes and skin Hid my tears, hid my fears I ran to the forest I ran to the trees I ran and ran I was looking for me I ran past the churches And the crooked old mailbox Past the apple orchards And the lady that never talks Up into the hills I ran to the cementery And held my breath And thought about your death I ran to the lake Up into the hills I ran and I ran I'm lookind there stil And I saw the crumbling tombstones The forgotten names I tasted the rain I tasted my tears I cursed the angels I tasted my fears And the ground gave way beneath my feet And the earth took me in her arms Leaves covered my face Ants marched across my back The black sky opened up Blinding me I ran to the forest I ran to the trees I ran and I ran I was looking for me I ran to the lakes And up to the hill I ran and I ran I'm looking there still And I smelt her burning flesh Her rotting bones Her decay I ran and I ran I'm still running away |
