Her brother's smart, he's got more sense than many,
His patience long, but soon he won't have any,
To find a job is like a haystack needle,
'Cause where he lives, they don't use coloured people,
Living just enough, just enough for the city.

 
Stevie Wonder
 

She's the candle burnin' in my room
Yeah, I'm like the needle
The needle and spoon
Over the counter, with a shotgun
Pretty soon, everybody's got one
I'm in a fever, when I'm beside her
Desire
Desire.
