Planning a Europe Tour

Hoping to spark a comeback and capitalize on his popularity overseas, Michael Jackson is planning a European tour, sources said.

A source with deep ties to the music industry and Jackson's camp said, "He's still big in Europe and Japan. He's very popular in England. He's planning a tour."

One thing is for sure, Americans don’t see Jackson as the same superstar that he was 20 years ago.

His comeback attempts came to a screeching halt when he moved to Las Vegas in December with hopes to drum up interest in his music.

But apparently no offers were made for a show, and it seemed as if people just couldn’t forget the years of musical missteps and disturbing child abuse allegations.

A casino talent booker said that Las Vegas entertainment executives considered him “too radioactive at this time.”

Lyrics

You try to hurt him / Time and again
Fed the news with your lies / But in vain
Cuz he never broke down / Stood stiff and sound
Kept moving the world / But you followed him around
Don’t know him enough / And still you call him a freak
Never stopped with your madness / Thought he was weak
You could never understand / That he’s the man
Who is healing the world / In all the ways he can

Try to harm him now / And I’ll block your way
Hurl a stone at him / We’ll make you feel the pain
We’re here to fight / Against all who hate
Won’t ever let you / Bother him again
Now how can you think / That you’re foolin’ me
When the truth’s out there / For all to see
Through all the times / Here we will be
We’re not just fans / We are his swords and shields

He’s the King of Pop / We’ve no doubts about it (No doubts about it)
His music pumps up our heart-beats / We’ll always stand by him (Stand by him)
He’s the man we’ve always loved / He taught us how we should be (How we should be)
Spreading love and peace around / Like he’s always been (He has always been the King)

He goes out of his way / To lend a helping hand
To heal the broken / Hearts he finds
When everybody / Ignores their cries
He’s the only angel / In disguise
When they’re cryin’ alone / Lost in the time
Wiping of their tears / He makes them smile
Why this never made it / To your TV screens
Never was in print / In the news that you read

Try to harm him now / And I’ll block your way
Hurl a stone at him / We’ll make you feel the pain
We’re here to fight / Against all who hate
Won’t ever let you / Bother him again
Now how can you think / That you’re foolin’ me
When the truth’s out there / For all to see
Through all the times / Here we will be
We’re not just fans / We are his swords and shields

He’s the King of Pop / We have no doubts about it (Doubts about it)
His music pumps up our heart-beats / We’ll always stand by him (Stand by him)
He’s the man we’ve always loved / He taught us how we should be (How we should be)
Spreading love and peace around / Like he’s always been (He has always been the King)

Lyrics

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
Youll get by...

If you smile
With your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Light up your face with gladness
Hide every trace of sadness
Although a tear may be ever so near
Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just...

Smile, though your heart is aching
Smile, even though its breaking
When there are clouds in the sky
Youll get by...

If you smile
Through your fear and sorrow
Smile and maybe tomorrow
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile...

Thats the time you must keep on trying
Smile, whats the use of crying
Youll find that life is still worthwhile
If you just smile

Little Susie

HIStory Album | History Music Videos
-----------------------------------------------------------
Little Susie is a song written and composed by Michael Jackson. The song featured on Jackson's album HIStory, which was released in 1995. The song tells the story of a girl nicknamed 'Little Susie' who has been killed after being pushed down a flight of stairs. The song's message is that of the hardships experienced by children who have been neglected, as Little Susie's parents and grandparents are dead.

The song is divided into three distinct sections. The first features a choir singing a melancholic tune. After the sound of a music box being turned, a girl playing the part of Little Susie la la's the melody of the song, which is featured after this section. Michael sings to a distinctly Russian, melancholic melody, with the repeated line of "lift her with care, the blood in her hair."

Credits

• Produced by Michael Jackson

Lyrics

Somebody killed little susie
The girl with the tune
Who sings in the daytime at noon
She was there screaming
Beating her voice in her doom
But nobody came to her soon...

A fall down the stairs
Her dress torn
Oh the blood in her hair...
A mystery so sullen in air
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care,
Oh the blood in her hair...

Everyone came to see
The girl that now is dead
So blind stare the eyes in her head...
And suddenly a voice from the crowd said
This girl lived in vain
Her face bear such agony, such strain...

But only the man from next door
Knew little susie and how he cried
As he reached down
To close susies eyes...
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
Oh the blood in her hair...

It was all for gods sake
For her singing the tune
For someone to feel her despair
To be damned to know hoping is dead and youre doomed
Then to scream out
And nobodys there...

She knew no one cared...

Father left home, poor mother died
Leaving susie alone
Grandfathers soul too had flown...
No one to care
Just to love her
How much can one bear
Rejecting the needs in her prayers...

Neglection can kill
Like a knife in your soul
Oh it will
Little susie fought so hard to live...
She lie there so tenderly
Fashioned so slenderly
Lift her with care
So young and so fair

Lyrics

He got kicked in the back
He say that he needed that
He hot willed in the face
Keep daring to motivate
He say one day you will see
His place in world history
He dares to be recognized
The fires deep in his eyes

How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many struggles must there be
Before we choose to live the prophets plan
Everybody sing...

Every day create your history
Every path you take youre leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty

Dont let no one get you down
Keep movin on higher ground
Keep flying until
You are the king of the hill
No force of nature can break
Your will to self motivate
She say this face that you see
Is destined for history

How many people have to cry
The song of pain and grief across the land
And how many children have to die
Before we stand to lend a healing hand
Everybody sing...

Every day create your history
Every path you take youre leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn youre writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony

All nations sing
Lets harmonize all around the world

How many victims must there be
Slaughtered in vain across the land
And how many children must we see
Before we learn to live as brothers
And leave one family oh...

Every day create your history
Every path you take youre leaving your legacy
Every soldier dies in his glory
Every legend tells of conquest and liberty
Every day create your history
Every page you turn youre writing your legacy
Every hero dreams of chivalry
Every child should sing together in harmony

A soldier dies
A mother cries
The promised child shines in a babys eyes
All nations sing
Lets harmonize all around the world

Lyrics

Speculate to break the one you hate
Circulate the lie you confiscate
Assassinate and mutilate
As the hounding media in hysteria
Whos the next for you to resurrect
Jfk exposed the cia
Truth be told the grassy knoll
As the blackmail story in all your glory

Its slander
You say its not a sword
But with your pen you torture men
Youd crucify the lord
And you dont have to read it, read it
And you dont have to eat it, eat it
To buy it is to feed it, feed it
So why do we keep foolin ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual, actual
They say hes homosexual

In the hood
Frame him if you could
Shoot to kill
To blame him if you will
If he dies sympathize
Such false witnesses
Damn self righteousness
In the black
Stab me in the back
In the face
To lie and shame the race
Heroine and marilyn
As the headline stories of
All your glory

Its slander
With the words you use
Youre a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you dont go and buy it, buy it
And they wont glorify it, fy it
To read it sanctifies it, fies it
Then why do we keep foolin ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
Everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
See, but everybody wants to believe all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual, actual
Shes blonde and shes bisexual

Scandal
With the words you use
Youre a parasite in black and white
Do anything for news
And you dont go and buy it, buy it
And they wont glorify it, fy it
To read it sanctifies it, fies it
Why do we keep foolin ourselves
Slander
You say its not a sin
But with your pen you torture men
Then why do we keep foolin ourselves

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
Though everybody wants to read all about it
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
See, but everybody wants to read all about it

Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual
Just because you read it in a magazine
Or see it on the tv screen
Dont make it factual, actual

Youre so damn disrespectable

Childhood (Theme from Free willy 2)

Childhood Video | HIStory | Videos from HIStory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Childhood" was a song written, produced and sung by Michael Jackson. It became the theme song for Free Willy 2. Michael Jackson has said that if one should want to know him, they should listen to "Childhood", saying, "It's the most honest song I've ever written". In the song Jackson expresses the pain he feels from his early memories. He asks not to be judged and shows us why he is trying to recapture his childhood.

The Music Video

The video for "Childhood", directed by Nick Brant, is of Michael in a forest as ships full of children float up in the air. The video is well remembered for its Peter Pan theme. The video was shot in 1995 Sequoia National Park where Jackson and many children reenacted scenes from Peter Pan. The video was a short shoot and Michael Jackson's appearance seemed youthful and for the first time, Jackson's hair was short in a music video. The video never caught on like its partner single "Scream" and was not in the track line-up of the HIStory World Tour. Jackson was supposed to perform the song at the Grammy Awards of 1996 where he was nominated for Album of the Year. However, the performance was canceled.

Lyrics

Have you seen my childhood?
Im searching for the world that I come from
cause Ive been looking around
In the lost and found of my heart...
No one understands me
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
cause I keep kidding around
Like a child, but pardon me...

People say Im not okay
cause I love such elementary things...
Its been my fate to compensate,
For the childhood
Ive never known...

Have you seen my childhood?
Im searching for that wonder in my youth
Like pirates in adventurous dreams,
Of conquest and kings on the throne...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
Look within your heart then ask,
Have you seen my childhood?

People say Im strange that way
cause I love such elementary things,
Its been my fate to compensate,
For the childhood Ive never known...

Have you seen my childhood?
Im searching for that wonder in my youth
Like fantastical stories to share
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...

Before you judge me, try hard to love me.
The painful youth Ive had

Have you seen my childhood....

You Are Not Alone

You Are Not Alone - Video | History Album | Videos from History
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"You Are Not Alone" was the second single from his multi-platinum album HIStory. The song was written by R&B singer-songwriter R. Kelly and became the first single ever to debut at number one in the Billboard Hot 100.

Chart Performance

"You Are Not Alone" became the second most-successful Michael Jackson single released in the 1990s, after "Black or White". The song peaked at number one in many countries around the world, including the UK, the U.S., New Zealand, Ireland, France and Switzerland.

In the UK, it debuted at number three and then climbed to number one where it stayed for two weeks. The single remained in the top five for seven weeks and was in the top 75 for fifteen weeks. This long run in the charts resulted in a gold sales award. The huge success of "You Are Not Alone" pulled HIStory back into the top-ten.

In the U.S., the single broke a Billboard record by being the first-ever single to debut at number one on the Hot 100 singles chart. Although it debuted at number one, it only spent one week at the top, and Michael has not had a number one single on the Hot 100 since. It also debuted at number one on the magazine's R&B chart, where it remained for four weeks. Airplay was excellent with a number two peak position on the Hot 100 Airplay chart and a number one position on Billboard's R&B Airplay chart (where it stayed for seven weeks). Single sales were strong with a peak position of number two on the Billboard Hot 100 Sales chart, number one on the Billboard R&B Sales chart, and number three on the Billboard Maxi-single Sales chart. The single went Platinum in the U.S. for sales of over one million copies.

Lyrics

Another day has gone
Im still all alone
How could this be
Youre not here with me
You never said goodbye
Someone tell me why
Did you have to go
And leave my world so cold

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay

But you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart
But you are not alone

lone, lone
Why, lone

Just the other night
I thought I heard you cry
Asking me to come
And hold you in my arms
I can hear your prayers
Your burdens I will bear
But first I need your hand
Then forever can begin

Everyday I sit and ask myself
How did love slip away
Something whispers in my ear and says
That you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart
For you are not alone

Whisper three words and Ill come runnin
And girl you know that Ill be there
Ill be there

You are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay
For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though youre far away
I am here to stay

For you are not alone
For I am here with you
Though were far apart
Youre always in my heart

For you are not alone...

He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good looking cause hes so hard to see

Money

History Album | Videos from History
----------------------------------------------------------------
The song features Michael taking on the role of someone who would do "anythang" for money, and he sings about the various misdeeds he would commit for more money. In the chorus of the song, he states that he would do "anything - anythang - anything for money; I'd lie for you, die for you, even sell my soul to the devil".

The song itself takes on an open minded view on how greedy society has become and how some people would do almost anything to be rich or to gain money. The song also notes the corruption which money can spawn, Michael singing that "I'll never betray or deceive you my friend but - if you show me the cash then I will take it; If you tell me to cry, then I will fake it; if you give me your hand, then I will shake it; you'd do anything for money". Michael, in persona, also says that "you say you wouldn't do it for all the money in the world - I don't think so", recognizing the inherent flaw of such a phrase. Noticeably, Michael also ends each verse with the phrase "You'd do anything for money".

The main aim of the song is to satirize the lust for material possessions and money, a characteristic which has pervaded Western society. The character Michael plays is actually a stereotypical, yet extremely believable, representation of a Western citizen who's main goal in life is to seek and attain money by any means necessary.

He mentions some rich men such as John Pierpont Morgan, Andrew Carnegie, John Davison Rockefeller, Jean Paul Getty

Lyrics

Money.
Money...

Lie for it
Spy for it
Kill for it
Die for it

So you call it trust
But I say its just
In the devils game
Of greed and lust

They dont care
Theyd do me for the money
They dont care
They use me for the money

So you go to church
Read the holy word
In the scheme of life
Its all absurd

They dont care
Theyd kill for the money
Do or dare
The thrill for the money

Youre saluting the flag
Your country trusts you
Now youre wearing a badge
Youre called the just few
And youre fighting the wars
A soldier must do
Ill never betray or deceive you my friend but...

If you show me the cash
Then I will take it
If you tell me to cry
Then I will fake it
If you give me a hand
Then I will shake it

You do anything for money...

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Insurance?
Where do your loyalties lie?
Is that your alibi?
I dont think so
You dont care
Youd do her for the money
Say its fair
You sue her for the money
Want your pot of gold
Need the midas touch
Bet you sell your soul
Cuz your God is such
You dont care
You kill for the money
Do or dare
The thrill for the money

Are you infected with the same disease of lust, gluttoney and greed?
Then watch the ones
With the biggest smiles
The idle jabbers...
Cuz theyre the backstabbers

If you know its a lie
Then you will swear it
If you give it with guilt
Then you will bear it
If its taking a chance
Then you will dare it

You do anything for money...

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

You say you wouldnt do it
For all the money in the world
I dont think so
If you show me the man
Then I will sell him
If you ask me to lie
Then I will tell him
If youre stealing with god
Then you will hell him

You do anything for money

Anything
Anything
Anything for money
Would lie for you
Would die for you
Even sell my soul to the devil

D.S. (Dom Sheldon)

History Album | Videos from History
--------------------------------------------------------
"D.S." is a song by Michael Jackson from his 1995 HIStory double album. It is track six on the second disc, one of the three songs from that disc whose lyrics are printed in the lyric booklet, and is four minutes and forty-nine seconds in length.

Many believe that this song refers to Thomas W. Sneddon Jr. as when sung, "Dom Sheldon" sounds very close to "Tom Sneddon". In addition, the lyrics reference a "B.S.T.A.", which sounds similar to "S.B.D.A." or "Santa Barbara District Attorney".

In 1993 the father of a boy named Jordan Chandler accused Michael Jackson of child molestation. The media reported on this news constantly and damaged Michael Jackson's career. Thomas Sneddon is the district attorney of Santa Barbara County, California who prosecuted Michael Jackson twice, in 1993 and in 2005. The second set of charges against Jackson resulted in a long trial, which ultimately ended in Jackson being acquitted.

Song Style

The song has a distinct rock feel to it, with a guitar solo performed by former Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, who had previously worked with Jackson on his Dangerous album. Before the gutair solo in the song, Jackson screams the name "Slash!"- leading to Slash's part in the song.

Jackson has always included a rock track on each album since the success of "Beat It" from Thriller. Other 'rock' songs of his include; "Beat It", "Dirty Diana", "Give in to Me", "Morphine" and "Privacy".

Lyrics

They wanna get my ass
Dead or alive
You know he really tried to take me
Down by surprise
I bet he missioned with the CIA
He don't do half what he say

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

He out shock in every single way
He'll stop at nothing just to get his political say
He think he hot cause he's BSTA
I bet he never had a social life anyway

You think he brother with the KKK?
I bet his mother never taught him
Right anyway
He want your vote just to remain ta.
He don't do half what he say

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Does he send letters to the FBI?
Did he say to either do it or die?

Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man
Dom Sheldon is a cold man

Thomas Sheldon is a cold man

Earth Song

Earth Song Video | History Album | Videos from History
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Earth Song" is a song by Michael Jackson featured on Jackson's 1995 HIStory album. The song's music video depicts the Earth being destroyed by humans, and alludes to environmental and poverty issues in the world. The visuals present the destruction of rainforests by loggers, majestic animals killed by poachers, and a North American forest burnt to stumps. The video also shows the devastation of 1990s aggressions between Bosnia and Bosniaks returning to their shattered homes. The video's scene was recorded in Croatia, due to instability in Bosnia at the time. The video includes stock footage of the Serb army shelling of Bosnian villages. In the end, Michael and all the suffering native peoples depicted cry, kneel, and dig into the dirt, which magically triggers the world to swirl backwards in time, returning everything to its original, peaceful state.

Chart Performance

When it was released in December of 1995, it debuted at number #1 in the United Kingdom, where it remained for the next 6 consecutive weeks, becoming the Christmas number one single of 1995, and the first #1 of 1996. It would become Jackson's most successful single release in the United Kingdom to date, achieving sales in excess of 1 million there, and remained on the U.K single's chart for 19 weeks in total. The single sold over 3 million copies world-wide.

Other Information

However, many critics considered both the song and the video to be pompous and overbearing, a charge repeated by Jarvis Cocker as a partial explanation for his invasion of Jackson's stage during a performance of "Earth Song" at the 1996 BRIT Awards, in which three children were injured. Fans said that the critics failed to fully read the lyrics of the song, or look at the video more closely. They point out there were no indications of a "messiah complex" that some critics claimed, and in the video, Jackson represented himself as a mendicant who prays for a better tomorrow, along with the nations of the world. The posture adopted by Jackson while performing this song at the BRIT Awards in fact originated in the video to his earlier single, "Will You Be There". The "Earth Song" video is available on the DVDs HIStory On Film Volume II and Number Ones. It was nominated for a 1996 Grammy for Best Short Form Video.

Lyrics

What about sunrise
What about rain
What about all the things
That you said we were to gain...
What about killing fields
Is there a time
What about all the things
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the blood weve shed before
Did you ever stop this notice
This crying earth this we make sure?

Aaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaah

What have we done to the world
Look what weve done
What about all the peace
That you pledge your only son...
What about flowering fields
Is there a time
What about all the dreams
That you said was yours and mine...
Did you ever stop to notice
All the children dead from war
Did you ever stop to notice
This crying earth this we make sure?

Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaah

I used to dream
I used to glance beyond the stars
Now I dont know where we are
Although I know weve drifted far

Aaaaaaaaaaah aaaaaaaaaaaah

Lyrics

This time around Ill never get bit
Though you really wanna fix me
This time around youre making me sick
Though you really wanna get me

Somebodys out to get me
They really wanna fix me, hit me
But this time around Im taking no shit
Though you really wanna get me

He really thought he really had

He really thought he really had
They thought they really had control of me
He really thought he really had
Control of me

They thought they really could control me

This time around Ill never get bit
Though you really wanna get me
This time around Im taking no shit
Though you really wanna fix me

Somebodys out to use me
They really want to use me
And then falsely accuse me

You know you cant control me

He really thought he really had

Flashin cameras, taps on my phone
Even in my home I aint safe as I should be
Things always missin
Maybe it could be my friends
They aint friends if they robbin me
Stoppin me from makin a profit, see
Apology shallow like the ocean
I guess Ill resort to gun totin
If I was dead broke and smokin
Id probably be by my lonesome
Im a killer nigga I aint jokin
Endo smoke got me choked and Im hopin
The fool comes slippin
So I could blowem open
This time around
I changed up my flow
Got rid of the rocks
Got pits by the door
Ive raised other peoples to watch my back
Stay away from strangers
So I wont slack
And I know my nigga mike like that
Baby

Stranger In Moscow

Stranger In Moscow Video | History Album | Videos from History

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stranger in Moscow was written in 1993 during Jackson's Dangerous World Tour in Moscow. He mentions that outside his hotel room, all he could see was "a sea of faces of fans chanting and screaming" and that he felt "all alone", like he was "the last person on the planet". It was this particular instance (on that particular day) that Stranger in Moscow came together.
The song's music video shows Jackson walking down a street while everything except himself and other primary subjects are moving in slow motion. Jackson's songwriter in his early career Rod Temperton, believes this is his best song.

Chart Performance

The single was a success in Europe, reaching the top of the charts in Spain, Italy and #4 in the UK, where it stayed in the top 40 for five weeks during the Christmas period. It was the least successful single release from the HIStory - Past, Present and Future, Book I album, but maintained the trend of continuous top 5 hits in the UK, where the album proved to be Jackson's most successful singles album to date.
Due to the remixes made for the song it reached #1 in the UK Dance Chart (staying at the top for 5 weeks), #1 in the UK Club Chart, and #1 on the official Euro DJ's chart. This meant that it was Jackson's biggest club hit and one of the biggest club hits from a mainstream commercial artist.
It also performed well in many other European countries, peaking at #5 in Switzerland and #9 in Denmark. It also peaked at #6 in New Zealand and at #14 in Australia. However, in the USA it flopped, reaching only #91.

Lyrics

I was wandering in the rain
Mask of life, feelin insane
Swift and sudden fall from grace
Sunny days seem far away
Kremlins shadow belittlin me
Stalins tomb wont let me be
On and on and on it came
Wish the rain would just let me

How does it feel (how does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When youre alone
And youre cold inside

Here abandoned in my fame
Armageddon of the brain
Kgb was doggin me
Take my name and just let me be
Then a begger boy called my name
Happy days will drown the pain
On and on and on it came
And again, and again, and again...
Take my name and just let me be

How does it feel (how does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (how does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When youre alone
And youre cold inside

How does it feel (how does it feel)
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel
How does it feel (how does it feel now)
How does it feel
How does it feel
When youre alone
And youre cold inside

Like stranger in moscow
Like stranger in moscow
Were talkin danger
Were talkin danger, baby
Like stranger in moscow
Were talkin danger
Were talkin danger, baby
Like stranger in moscow
Im livin lonely
Im livin lonely, baby
Stranger in moscow

Lyrics

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, aggravation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Bang bang, shock dead
Everybodys gone mad

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Beat me, hate me
You can never break me
Will me, thrill me
You can never kill me
Do me, sue me
Everybody do me
Kick me, strike me
Dont you black or white me

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Tell me what has become of my life
I have a wife and two children who love me
I am the victim of police brutality, now
Im tired of bein the victim of hate
Youre rapin me of my pride
Oh, for gods sake
I look to heaven to fulfill its prophecy...
Set me free

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Trepidation, speculation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Black man, black mail
Throw your brother in jail

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Tell me what has become of my rights
Am I invisible because you ignore me?
Your proclamation promised me free liberty, now
Im tired of bein the victim of shame
Theyre throwing me in a class with a bad name
I cant believe this is the land from which I came
You know I do really hate to say it
The government dont wanna see
But if roosevelt was livin
He wouldnt let this be, no, no

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, speculation
Everybody litigation
Beat me, bash me
You can never trash me
Hit me, kick me
You can never get me

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

Some things in life they just dont wanna see
But if martin luther was livin
He wouldnt let this be

Skin head, dead head
Everybody gone bad
Situation, segregation
Everybody allegation
In the suite, on the news
Everybody dog food
Kick me, strike me
Dont you wrong or right me

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us
All I wanna say is that
They dont really care about us

All I wanna say is that

-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Scream" was a duet between Michael and his sister Janet written by both Jacksons and the production team of Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis. It dealt with the mass media attention both siblings had received in their careers. The track is backed by a number of remixes by prolific artists including DJ David Morales, rap group Naughty by Nature and record producer Dave Hall. The duo received a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals for Scream. "Scream", however, doesn't reappear in the tracklisting of Michael Jackson: The Ultimate Collection and The Essential Michael Jackson. Also, the video didn't reappear in Visionary: The Video Singles. The video did appear, however, as a "director's cut" in the DVD The Work of Director Mark Romanek. A remix of the song by Flyte Time is featured on Michael's 1997 album Blood on the Dance Floor: HIStory in the Mix. It is titled "Scream Louder" (Flyte Time remix).

Lyrics

The way she came into the place
I knew right then and there
There was something different
About this girl

The way she moved
Her hair, her face, her lines
Divinity in motion

As she stalked the room
I could feel the aura
Of her presence
Every head turned
Feeling passion and lust

The girl was persuasive
The girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew but I was
Walking the line
Come go with me
I said I have no time
And dont you pretend we didnt
Talk on the phone
My baby cried
She left me standing alone

Shes so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

She came at me in sections
With the eyes of desire
I fell trapped into her
Web of sin
A touch, a kiss
A whisper of love
I was at the point
Of no return

Deep in the darkness of
Passions insanity
I felt taken by lusts
Strange inhumanity
This girl was persuasive
This girl I could not trust
The girl was bad
The girl was dangerous

I never knew
But I was living in vain
She called my house
She said you know my name
And dont you pretend
You never did me before
With tears in her eyes
My baby walked out the door

Shes so dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to god
cause I know how
Lust can blind
Its a passion in my soul
But youre no damn lover
Friend of mine

I can not sleep alone tonight
My baby left me here tonight
I cannot cope til its all right
You and your manipulation
You hurt my baby

And then it happened
She touched me
For the lips of
A strange woman
Drop as a honeycomb
And her mouth was
Smoother than oil
But her inner spirit and words
Were as sharp as
A two-edged sword
But I loved it
cause its dangerous

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
Take away my money
Throw away my time
You can call me honey
But youre no damn good for me

Dangerous
The girl is so dangerous
I have to pray to god
cause I know how
Lust can blind
Its a passion in my soul
But youre no damn lover
Friend of mine

Lyrics

Like a comet
Blazing cross the evening sky
Gone too soon

Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon

Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night

Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon

Like a castle
Built upon a sandy beach
Gone too soon

Like a perfect flower
That is just beyond your reach
Gone too soon

Born to amuse, to inspire, to delight
Here one day
Gone one night

Like a sunset
Dying with the rising of the moon
Gone too soon

Gone too soon

Keep the faith

Gon * dont let nobody / take you down / just keep your eyes on the prize / and get your
Feet / back on the ground / keep the faith, baby, yea / because its lust / a matter of time /
Before your confidence / will win out / but till that day / I said youve got to / keep the faith!

Lyrics

Hold me
Like the river jordan
And I will then say to thee
You are my friend

Carry me
Like you are my brother
Love me like a mother
Will you be there?

Weary
Tell me will you hold me
When wrong, will you skold me
When lost will you find me?

But they told me
A man should be faithful
And walk when not able
And fight till the end
But Im only human

Everyones taking control of me
Seems that the worlds
Got a role for me
Im so confused
Will you show to me
Youll be there for me
And care enough to bear me

(lead me)
(lay your head lowly)
(softly then boldly)
(carry me there)

(hold me)
(love me and feed me)
(kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

(carry)
(carry me boldly)
(lift me up slowly)
(carry me there)

(save me)
(heal me and bathe me)
(softly you say to me)
(I will be there)

(lift me)
(lift me up slowly)
(carry me boldly)
(show me you care)

(hold me)
(lay your head lowly)
(softly then boldly)
(carry me there)

(need me)
(love me and feed me)
(kiss me and free me)
(I will feel blessed)

(spoken)
In our darkest hour
In my deepest despair
Will you still care?
Will you be there?
In my trials
And my tripulations
Through our doubts
And frustrations
In my violence
In my turbulence
Through my fear
And my confessions
In my anguish and my pain
Through my joy and my sorrow
In the promise of another tomorrow
Ill never let you part
For youre always in my heart.

Lyrics

I thought she had to have it
Since the first time she came
Who knows the situation
Mysteries remain
And now I wonder why
I breakdown when I cry
Is it something I said
Or is it just a lie
(Is it just a lie)

I try so hard to love you
Some things take
Time and shame
I think the whole world
Of you
Your thoughts of me remain
I'll play the fool for you
I'll change the rules for you
Just say it and I'll do
Just make this thing
Come true
(Make this dream come true)

If I let her get away
Though I'm begging
On my knees
I'll be crying everyday
Knowing the girl
That got away

I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away

I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away

I tried to mastermind it
By saying let it be
But everytime I did it
The hurt came back at me
I told you that I need you
A thousand times and why
I played the fool for you
And still you said goodbye
(Still you said goodbye)

If I let her get away
Then the world will
Have to see
A fool who lives alone
And the fool who
Set you free

I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away [Repeat paragraph 6 times]

Can't let her go
Can't let her go

I can't let
I can't let her get away
I can't let
I can't let her get away [Repeat paragraph 6 times to fade]

Lyrics

She's got the look
She so fine
And you know damn well
The girl will be mine


She got the breaks
She the scene
And you know damn well
She gives it to me
Uh-huh

Black jeans and a turtleneck sweater
I know the girl is fakin cuz I've seen her look better

She composition
She statistical fact
Got it ready
For the willing
Got it kickin in the back

(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)

Come to the place
Shock to see
And you know damn well
You know what I mean

Hot in the face
1 and 3
Like a pleasure trip
Like you've never seen

Uh-huh
Satin lace and a paisley cut top
The girl is waisting over
And she know she looks hot

She got position
She got just what it takes
Got a mojo in her pocket
Got it ready just in case

(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
That girl's my baby...Uh-huh
(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)

Please, no I can't take it
She's drivin me wild
My life won't make it
You got me lookin like buckwheat
(Ooh)
Hair blows every which way but me
Far from a distance your looks are deadly
Walks and talks till I hear the medley
Oh it's like a temple that does cramp my style
She drives me wild*

(She's got ah...)
(She's got ah...)
(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
That girl's my baby...
(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
(She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
(She's got ah...)
(She's got ah...)
That girl's my baby
(She's got ah...)
(She's got ah...)
She's got ah...)
(She's drivin me wild)
Ooh! (She's got ah...walkin in your direction
She's got ah...she's drivin me wild)
