Instrumental
Baby you know that there's no choice
I'm tired of hearing my own voice
We can't live on love alone
To find some work I'll have to leave our home
And I know that things look desperate now
But stand by me we'll get through somehow
* Ooh when you touch me it all fades away
Ooh when you hold me I'll make it through another day
Winter's here and it's looking bleak
The snow is falling as we speak
And can we cut back a little more
Something will turn up I'm really sure
So please darlin' keep your faith in me
I'll make it good you wait and see
* Repeat
It's so special, oh so special
'Cos there's always you and me
And we stand alone with our love
So strong, bold and free
It's so special, oh so special
You can't take that away
There's a bond that holds us together
It'll always stay
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Though I'm getting stronger every day
Situations change, I hope and pray
I'm not a man who's afraid to fight
With you beside me I'll see the light
We'll be together, I'm sure it's meant to be
A friend and lover my only loyalty
If nothing else, it's you and me.
It's hot up in the west end, there's panic right downtown
As the gangs assemble, coming up from underground
Well Jesus I don't know which side I should be on
I'm a class contender if anything goes wrong
* When it's time to rock
We're the only ones
No one takes this block
'Cos we're number one
We sneaked through the no go, very late last night
Out up from the back streets, cruising for a fight
Well Jackie's got his six string, he can play behind his back
Mickey's out from Bellevue, he's just makin' tracks
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
As we rocked through the midnight, took 'em all by storm
The police boys didn't have a chance, didn't even get warm
Oh Daddy, why am I sittin' here, I'm not a member of the bar
I'm not the only wild one in a hot wired car
* Repeat
Instrumental
Well, I've stuck out in your street
And I'm lookin' for some kind of halo
When somebody says to me, boy
She's too young to know
* Well, I didn't make your time
I never said you were mine
Don't you think you show
I guess I'll have to teach you how to roll
Met you outside school
when sure no one was lookin'
And your teacher looks at me,
all his envy growin'
* Repeat
I said, take it easy baby,
you sure know what's showin'
And I can't help myself
without your friends all knowin'
* Repeat
* Repeat
You got a long, long way to go
Ruby darling's got a crazy walk
The boys love her with that dirty, dirty talk
Singles bar with the broken light
Easy touch, a lady of the night
* Ruby darling I need you
Cross my heart and promise to be true
** And you tell me that you can't change
Your life's been set, prearranged
Hold on tight 'til the morning light "cause
We belong to the night
Well-known face in every door
Street kids come and try to make a score
Patrol car stopped talk for a while
But they let you go with a warning and a smile
* Repeat
** Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
** Repeat
Life goes on down the streets
Contacts made where the gay boys come to meet
Keep saying it's your last night
Give up this life for me without a fight
* Repeat
** Repeat twice
Tell me why we're never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show
* But when you're close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin' light
**Try me, oh take me for a little while
Before it's over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say it's over
But for me it had just begun
Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why the feelin' never goes
* Repeat
** Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
-Long, long year I've sat in this place
Baby, baby, what's good I've had
When you don't know where I wanna go
Find a reason love's left me cold
I've got it, time on my hands
Been drinkin' with the sailor boy
Been tryin' hard to understand
Lines here in my hand
Left me hopin' the wild thoughts I had
My lost feelin' made me so sad
Tried so hard, the smile on my face
Can't get it back a gain, back home with you
* Repeat
* Repeat
* Repeat
White lines on the highway
Rolling out into the night
Got no bag to slow us down
We're travelling light, travelling light tonight
Feel the wheels roll away
How many miles have I been gone
Listen girl you never knew
The road goes on all night long
*This fire burns tonight
The streets are alight
Out on this town we are bursting
This fire burns tonight
The streets are alight
(And) Out on this town we are bursting
Now me and my partners are moving
We run on from town to town
And this here road surface
Is setting them up rolling them down
There's girls out in the neon
Singing blues every night
And you that they'll never love you
They're travelling light, travelling light
(Repeat* 3 times)
Caught in the crossfire, a warnin' fight
Legends make our brigades
Swept up on the road, in waves of the night-
In the chase for fame
I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle
Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change
*And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
**Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same
[INSTRUMENTAL]
**Repeat
I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range
* Repeat
* Repeat (ad lib)
Kid's gettin' tired, hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in (when you) can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop me at the start only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
All that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to change
Or stick in this city will drive you insane
*
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now 'til next year it'll always be the same
The black backstreets and people who don't know your name
Go with the wind if it'll only carry us away
--instrumental--
Between The Walls
No Lyrics - Instrumental
One more time said the lady Jane
walk on in the fire
chinese whispers ringing now
step into the mire
I've been strung out to dry
blowing in the gale
my names been left hanging,
hanging on your nail
all the misfits
are flying like a kite
all of my friends
have come to see the fight
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
I can hear the Quireboys singing
and it's falling on my ears
I can hear the trumpets playing
running down the years
don't ask me how the world looks
how it looks tonight
I'm gonna be leaving babe
outta here and outta sight
I've been laying down
coming off the rails
I've been chasing shadows
playing Happy trails
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
Solo
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
this love has never gone away
whoa oh oh, the spark that is us
I hold a moment every single day
So you've seen the sunrise on the Nile
solved the mystery of the mona lisa's smile
you proclaim your innocence
what you saying
makes no sense to me at all
So you help the needy and the sick
heard confessions of a lunatic
my eyes are growing dim
ghost shadows closing in
around me now
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone
to make me happy
so you've scattered roses at Versailles
wiped a teardrop from an old man's eye
seeing you in such distress
I'm afraid I must confess
that boys don't cry
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone
to make me happy
Solo
and there ain't no sympathy at all
just a sea of angry faces
staring at me
there ain't no sympathy at all
I gotta find someone,
gotta find someone,
gotta find someone
If sometimes
I could make you happy
if sometimes
you're feeling small
the truth is mine just to
do what I wanna do
this love is mine just to
say what I wanna say
Out on this lonely road
cold coffee and a cigarette
making a long distance call
I'm on some losing bet
We're not going down
we're not gonna take it baby
we're not going down
anyway you want it
we're not going down
we just got to be together now
and if you're feeling hollow
Hey, hey now swallow
And if your love's been lost and forsaken
if you've been left
passed up and broken too
the choice is yours just to
be where you wanna be
and the truth is yours just to
see what you wanna see
Out on this lonely road
where the black top never ends
we're racing up the hills
but we're losing it on th bends
We're not going down
we've just gotta be together baby
we're not going down
we ain't gonna take it now
we're not going down
we've gotta be there babe
and if you're feeling hollow
Hey, hey now swallow
you've got to swallow babe
Solo
We're not going down
we've gotta be there together babe
we're not going down
anyway you want it now
We're not going down
we've gotta be there
We're not going down
we've just gotta be together babe
and just your crazy ways
oh there's not an ordinary day
oh no
American beauty
came up and spoke
She touched her toes
and we shared a joke
Taxi's, limos,
power boat glides
Jet skies, mensa,
babes without a ride
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Moonshot, rockets
nineteen sixties cool
Sonny Boy Williamson,
Pope John Paul
The Congo to Vietnam
The Beatles to the Stones
Is nobody left
who's gonna shake those bones?
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Pay all the time
Solo
All of the misfits
all of the scars
All of life's promises
bottled in jars
There's a hum and a howl.
lovers on the run
Tell me what's on offer
from the government scum
Solo
Rats will get richer
and the dirt beg for more
Crumbs on the table
for the world of the poor
News of self worship
fresh from Hollywood
The pygmies of poison,
don't know bad from good
You know the revolutions gone now
There's no revolution song
Somewhere down the line
You know on one of Gods good days
Can you hear me,
someone's gonna have to pay
Oh that's pay all the time
someones got to pay
you ain't walkin'
you ain't talkin'
you got to pay
while i'm looking over your shoulder
you got to pay
(intro)
One more day, with a tumble fall,
Down the money pit, with nothing to show
Hey hey yeah
Another twist, in the horror tale
It's an open coffin, that needs one more nail
Smell of money
Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money
Attracts me to you...
Hey hey yeah money
Two clean shirts
I'm out on bail
As the barroom baits
They start to wail
The smell of money
Maybe I'm a victim, (Soft silk and bamboo?)
Maybe it's the smell of money,
that brings me to you
Stretched out across the ceiling
?? Domes shimmer and glow
Golden citadels
While the autumn wind billows and flows
(instrumental)
Dancing nights, in the lost and found
Move really nice to that money sound
Smell of money, smell of money,
smell of money, smell of money
I need
I bleed
(sudden stop)
Well, I'm struttin' up and down
Tryin' to get my face in town
Wonderin' the hang where
to turn each time around
Look in your mirror just to see my face
Two way time, baby, it's no disgrace
Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
Ladies used to dancin' but I move for real
Lookin' for reaction, something you can feel
When ya dance,
I move and they look me in the eye
Two way time, baby, it's no lie
*Oh my, how the times have changed
Oh my, how the times have changed
*Repeat
*Repeat
No use in pretending, it's not been and gone
There's no defending, this feeling's all too strong
Every time and every place, I see magic in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight
Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She had me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing feels better
And I know now she's the only one
Dealing with emotions we can uncreate
Being held under, oh how you infatuate
Every step and every move I see it in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight
Oh, baby, she's the one
I was cut right down now
Oh, she left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
Nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one
[INSTRUMENTAL]
* Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one
* Repeat
Only one....she's the one...
Was a fast tough woman, loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Trust me like she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two forty five's would do the trick and pay the bills
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Holdin' out in my hotel room
Police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution
And my prints upon the gun
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot shoot, shoot it boy
Shoot it for me
I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Quit my job at the 7-11
3-D vision and a glance of heaven
Picked up my six string began to play
Just one touch and it started to say
All your dreams will come true
Lovely mansion with a pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
* Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
A thousand motels waiting to trash
TV dinners, well I love that bash
And if you Eddie, just say Hi
This party's open so drop on by
All your dreams will come true
A sunny haven from the Inland Revenue
Hot nights in Paris a chance to dance
Since I signed up I've been living in a trance
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I'm feeling sick like Dawn of the Dead
I've got Marines marching through my head
John-Boy Walton, he's so nice
So come in this must be paradise
All your dreams will come true
That lovely mansion with its pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life
* Repeat
Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, I could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these Spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(instrumental)
Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space
(more instrumental)
Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
(more instrumental, fading out eventually)
Heaven knows why I'm left here in this place
With the sun up in my eyes
Symbols of the morning coming on
With the love that's got too strong to hold
If I'd been so much wiser then
I would have known which path to choose
Heaven help the lucky ones
Heaven help you
Heard the news come on the radio
About the loves in this escapade
I'd already heard before
Baby, two years ago
Say it's too hard just return
Now it seemed just like a dream
I saw and already seen it
On my TV's screen
Now I could see all these conflicts goin' on
Don't you think you could show some thanks
I just might give you a standin' ovation
A little bit of you runnin' through my bed
Little bit of everything
You know that's what you said
* Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
** And there's your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they won't understand
The social life you lead leaves nothin' to desire
Don't wanna see you bleed
But you came on like a liar -Repeat
* Repeat
** Repeat
Wrecked myself to love you
All you want is more
One thing you're after
You just try and score
* Repeat
** Repeat
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh the mess I'm in
She walked up to me
and really stole my heart
And then she started
to take my body apart
*Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
Far away from you
Livin', lovin', I'm on the run
So far away from you
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment,
she's turnin' paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy
Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please,
oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry
as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strain,
and I can't take any more
*Repeat
I've got to sympathize
You run with all the rest
You've kept on moving but never got the best
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there's something left hope you can make it through
Pack It up and go, pack it up and go,
Leftover from the show, just pack it up and go
You made the impact back in 1969
But now move over friend I think you've had your time
And all our yesterdays go sailing out of view
I know there' something left, hope you can make it through
Pack it up and go, pack it up and go, left over from the show just pack it up and go
--instrumental ---
And all our yesterdays go sailing know there's something left
Hope you can make it through

Hey now!
Pulled up back of the parking lot
This ain't Miss Daisy now, look what I got
.357 and it's primed for time
I'm just 16 but I'm blowing like a wind chime
I get up, I go down
Guess you could say I'm from the wrong side of town
Tank commander in my neighborhood
Well read my lips is this understood
(1) It's your nervous breakdown
It's your teenage shakedown
Your nervous breakdown
(Just one of those things)
I've seen all the movies on the late late show
Clint and Schwarzenegger taught me all I know
So open up and hand the money here
This is the start of an illustrious career
I get up, I go to bed
I sleep good with a price on my head
I love the glamour the girls and the car
From lemonade to Old Courvoisier
(1) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Guess it's just the same old story
Fool I didn't have a chance
She took me like a house that's burning
Never gave a second glance
Eat 'em up let 'em go and you never
Let your feelings show
She ain't here and you're asking why
Life's a bitch and then you die
Come on lover just let go
Is there something I should know
Was it just one of those nights
Something you don't remember, yeah
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember
Sitting at the bar drinking beer
Happy hour's over and love's cost me dear
The piano player sits at his stool
He's playing "Feelings" ain't' life cruel
Uptown downtown life's a river
And I wish I could drown
I could still hear those loving sighs
A lesson learnt love's just a lie
I know I made a big mistake
With love there's no even break
There's a price you have to pay
I got the bill when I heard you say
* (Was it) just one of those nights (baby)
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something you don't remember
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Was it just one of those nights, baby
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember

Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Train arrive sixteen coaches long
Well that long black train
Drop my baby and gone
*Train train coming right round the bend
Train train coming right round this bend
Well it took my baby
But it never will again
Train train coming on down the line
Train train rolling on down the line
Well it's bringing my baby
'Cause she's mine oh mine
Mine oh mine, mine oh mine
(Repeat *)
Never again no, no, no never again
Well I'm down, face tomorrow
I drown in this fool's sorrow
I hear the lies, who I choose
No alibis, never a trace I'm blue
(1) Well I'm not so proud
Baby I can see
You take my money
And you're laughing at me
(2) (I ain't no clown) (Money money)
And you're no debutante
I wanna give
How much do you want
(3) Money
Look what you've done to me
Money
Hope on a third degree
You 're so dumb
You got all the protection
Number one
But you only intend to clown
(Repeat (3))
You're so cool
Playing glamour glamour
Full of school
But still in emerald

Money money you think I can't see
Take it all and you're laughing at me

Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more
Woh, held up to ransom, quick hand and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage legend make a mark on you?
Make the big time status, a pen will let him through
Mother Mary would you ever really feel the same?
Could you try to understand a wild colonial boy?
Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more
Mother Mary would you ever really feel the same?
(1) Come from the land where the wheat is still wheat
Where the waters in the rivers is still water
In this land every man lends a hand when you need it
But your hands are full of life
So you can help yourself and feel it
It's been a long way from the red of my home
>From the valleys and the green plains never ending
Everyone knows that the sun in his land is stronger
And your hands are full of life
If you can only wait just longer
(2) So let it be a small haven big in Your heart
Don't let it turn into an ogre
Tryin' to climb and climb
and forget this place where
I can still find time
To sing in rhyme
(3) Martian landscape.
I'll learn to lie in your arms
Where all the freedom is mine and it comes
Martian landscape,
I'll turn my face to your sun
Where your horizon is mine and it comes
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
(3) Repeat

Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills
Try to catch the band's last song
Backstage pass really showin' out

Wind blows back on the battens charging
winds all the way
Right to the butt of my gun
Maybe now your time has come
From the backstreets there's a rumblin'
Smell of anarchy
No more nice times, black boy shoe shines
Pie in the sky dreams
* Lights out, lights out in London
Hold tight 'til the end
Better now you know we'll never
Wait 'til tomorrow
Lights out, lights out in London

Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind
I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay
* Oh it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain
* Repeat
When I'm with you you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie

Please tell me now it's no secret
Is this surrender with defeat
Do you let love pass you by
Walk to a different beat

The enemy is at the door
The enemy within.
Dressed up in the strangest clothes,
Smells of drinking Bombay gin.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
My father was a Russian Jew
My Irish mother crazy.
I see summer, winter, fall.
When grown men
Cry like babies.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
[Solo]
Wish I never had to leave.
Wish I'd never known.
Wish I could stay here forever.
Watch my garden grow.
There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
There's a deadman talking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman talking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.
There's a deadman walking
Deadman walking
(Instrumental)
Honey kick your shoes off now
And stay another night
Lets not talk too seriously
We don't wanna fight
Now I don't care about your reputation
Or how you got it made
All I want is for you to stay
Don't want a charade
*and the lights go down
Who you with tonight
It aint so easy holding on
Everything you seem to do babe
Just turns out so wrong
Youre gone in the night
Youre gone in the night
Youre gone in the night
People try to tell you now
About responsibilities
Those married-men dos and don'ts
How it ought to be
But I don't care what they say
Don't wanna hear what's true
As long as you want me baby
You know I need you
* You said that was that but this is it
How were you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife
** I must be blind I'm gettin' ready to be defined
No [loose connections] cause it feels alright
I'm gettin ready to hit the [line]
Can you fee me Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
[Cuz] it's alright Now I know just what I want to do
** Repeat
When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone
** Repeat
Making out is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind And every time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you
[INSTRUMENTAL]
*Repeat
** Repeat
High flyers, wailing birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams
* And your every melody
With the sea tides tossin' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by
(instrumental)
Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weekend and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams
* Repeat

Heaven knows that you´re an evil child,
Drive me crazy, drive me wild
Get home from work I don´t feel alright
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight
Moving in, moving out, baby you move my mind about
Don´t give me no reasons don´t give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you´ve broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is a bit of your love
All I want is a part of you...
Heaven knows that you´re an evil child,
Drive me crazy, drive me wild
Get home from work I don´t feel alright
Go in your bedroom you just want to fight
Moving in, moving out, baby you move my mind about
Don´t give me no reasons don´t give me no lies
Come to take you home from school you´ve broken all the rules
All I need is a bit of your love
All I want is to hold you tight
* On the wires I can hear you comin'
With a rush and a strummin'
This electric phase ain't no teenage craze
In your house a phone is ringin'
Just a hot touch that keeps lingerin'
You said loving's easy only if you please
All I need is communication
Not a line on your reputation
I don't want a handshake
There ain't no big mistake
**There's no illusion in this wild confusion
Who knows I'm crazy, no chance of maybe
I'd like to know you better
But I"m goin' down so fast
Help me now to feel it, I just can't conceal it
Sweet time I've got to show you how it's really got to be
Just let me be alone, left with your dialing tone
** Repeat

* Repeat
Kids are cruising on the old shoreline
Goodbye-girls killing time
Feel like soldiers we couldn't wait
Running wild, rushing to our fate
* We kept dreaming, Kids are dreaming
Sleeping rough out on Brighton's beach
A step from the law just out of reach
** We kept dreaming, Dreaming me and you
*** Got a plan we couldn't blow
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Made a stand and played a show
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Hiding in the wrecks of burned out cars
Found a compass on the promenade
Gangs assemble in the old arcade
By looking cool we thought we had it made
* Repeat
We ran wildly against the tide
Nothing much just our teenage pride
** Repeat ***
Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Down the alleys to the old stage door
They heard the band coming through the floor
Eric Burdon and the Animals played
In our minds the impression's made
** Repeat
*** Repeat and fade mixing ** and ***
Lights turn red to green
I haven't been spotted I seen
Four more blocks and Im safe
Make it clean without a chase
There's something special, certain feeling
I can't blow this one for sure
Ive been nervous, anxious and edgy
This ones the last one therell be no more
What Ive got to do tonight
Take the car and meet the man downtown
Its easy darling, working away
Before the words got around
* and I'll do it all for you, oh yes I will
This time Im coming through, oh yeah
I said Im burning, I been rolling
This cars turned up to make it fly
Don't worry darling just get ready
Tonight were gonna be going out in style
If anyone comes calling around
Don't answer cause you're my alibi
So just trust me, kiss me and love me
Chasing the golden mile
* repeat
Is she waiting now
Do you think she really really cares
Is she standing and looking with her hope
Her fingers through her hair
Looking at the future you and me baby
Life lately don't seem like wonderland
Nothing here nothing coming in
Money goes like a wino's gin
Slips through my hands
* (And) I know it ain't easy
I get drunk like a fool
There's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
When the lights go down
Do you think she really really cares
As she's lying there with her arms around you
A strange affair
Looking at the lights on Lakeshore Drive
In the Windy City now
Will our love stay alive
Last night I held you in my arms
You looked and said "Baby, we will survive"
And I know it ain't easy
'Cos life gets so cruel
And there's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule
** Repeat
** Repeat
* Repeat
Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to
Who you gonna see tonight babe
What you gonna wear, who you gonna know
Who you gonna see tonight my baby
From the back of a one dollar down
Did you ever think I wouldn't be around
This ain't a stand off ain't no fight
But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?
** Repeat
** Repeat and fade out
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
You can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop bein' a star only for a while
Hole in my pocket and a hole in my arm
And that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
So come on girl, we really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to take
Stayin' in this city will drive you insane
Kid's gettin' tired of hangin' around
So cocksure, thingin' aloud
Can't get it in when you can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now till next year it'll always be the same
The black, back streets an people who don't know your name
You wake up in the morning
Look for a clue, something new
Turn on the radio and it's as dead
As the visions dying in your head
And when you were young
You had big ideas no hidden fears
You had your heroes they were walkin' tall
Now your devotion seems comical
So now you' got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into the darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter 'cos you're history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right
You played the game as children
Didn't understand life's not so grand
Love hurts you and you could feel the lonely, lonely one
Some people got it easy
They got it made, so unafraid
You'll be the fool and /fight/find/ the winner he's gonna take it all
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
*Repeat
Standin' by the roadside, future in my hands
Coat I'm wearing's blowing cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mist along the coast
City lights closed down
Your empty station there
Freight line cuts the ground
Freight line cuts the ground
*Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Moon is even passin' by, tryin' not to see
Like a fool I hit that road, did my time at sea
Life was only foolin' me
Oh despair, it bums my lungs,
find' it hard to breath
The hospital shut their gates,
I can't get me no peace
Wicked people stand and scream,
stumble the
road
Close my eyes, turn out the lights
Haven't found a dream, haven't found a dream
* Repeat

She looked for truth
inside a bottle of rain
posted an ad
then changed her name
on a roller coaster
that couldn't be caught
she left one note
at the hotel last resort
And it said
call me
don't let me down
walk me on the water
don't let me drown no
call me
don't let me down
walk me on the water
don't let me drown,
don't let me drown
Well the precious friends
and their special needs
they're like a cancer
that just feeds and feeds
saddle up and lets get out of here
you don't need one more
to shed one more tear
you couldn't make a stand now
you couldn't get it right
I only got this message now
Late, late last night
call me
don't let me down
walk me on the water
don't let me drown
call me
don't let me down
walk me on the water
don't let me drown no
don't let me drown
Call me
Solo
call me
don't let me down
walk me on the water
don't let me drown
call me
don't let me down
walk me on the water
don't let me drown,
don't let me drown
* Fast as light our jets were burnin'
On the road a distant siren song
Hands upon my engines growin'
Vincent's[+++] deep throat breathin' out so strong
I can hold her, can you roll her
Ride her like there's no tomorrow
Siren's song sure is growin' stronger
Shadow reached a high note
And in the distance [electric lights]++++ no longer
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
* Repeat
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
I can hold her, can you roll her
+++Note: Mike Pincher informs me that a Vincent is a British motorcycle.
++++Mat's lyric sheet says this should be Electra Glides, another kind of motorcycle.
* I want you to call my name
I need to hear your voice again
You know I want you to call my name
Any time, there's no shame in our love
I met you watching the cars go by
You were there, every night, at the corner of Elm and Vine
And you had nothing to hide
For just a few bucks and you know it's a free ride
* Repeat
I picked you up for all the wrong reasons
You left home for Hollywood, where there's no break even
We had nothing to hide
You were just a few years on the wrong side
* Repeat
It's only love, I know, a real love
I know it's only love, and you showed me how
Gotta keep you now
[INSTRUMENTAL]
We had nothing to hide
You were just a few years on the wrong side
* Repeat
In our love...in our love...thre's no shame in our love...
I'm feelin' static
Nothing's moving here for me
Dead un-romantic
That's the way life's squeezin' me
I get the feelings
When I'm pushed in a situation
Like climbin' ceilings
This is a case of renegotiaion
I ain't the soft touch you think I am
Ain't no pussy to think you care
Between a rock and a hard place
I'll make sure you remember my face
Between a rock and a hard place
You're just something I will erase
I'll tell you something
That you never thought before
When I get dangerous
There's no such thing as outside the law
Let me tell you, for your information
You're gonna need rehabilitation
Between a rock and a hard place
I'll make sure you remember my face
Between a rock and a hard place
You're just something I will replace
There's no giving up, no more losing ground
Hang on in
We're gonna stick around, movin' up
You can't bring me down..
Captain midnight and Captain cruise
out on the ocean
like a storm of bad news
it took three monkeys in a plastic mac
to fit inside a paper sack
And they're cooking up an alibi
cooking up some steam
out in the madness
somewhere in Orleans
they had a plan,
they had a plot
beggars and blues was all they got
Black cold coffee
black Irish soup
cold on a silver spoon
she's dancing through hoops
Baby's wishing on a wishing well
she's moving up
and ringing her bell
can't fly to heaven
on a persian rug
so put some coins in the old sailor mug
They travelled up together
from the coast
east of Aldgate
silently like ghosts
they had a scam,
they had a scheme
for drunks and bums counting beans
Black cold coffee
black Irish soup
cold on a silver spoon
she's dancing through hoops
Solo
Black cold coffee
black Irish soup
cold on a silver spoon
she's dancing through hoops
If I could see you would you still give me
Just hold me tighter and love me maybe
You'll be my thunder, I don't want saving
You don't fool me, oh no you don't fool me
One look at you it's easy to see
oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
You build me up now, you pull me down
You make me come on yeah, keep me around
I'll want to move you, I surely could
You don't fool me, oh no you don't fool me,
one look at you, it's easy to see oh no
you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me,
I'll play along, just give it to me
---instrumental---
Just gotta have you, you drive me crazy, tell me you feel it, your honey give me ...
Here burns the fire, I feel your heat
You don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
One look at you, it's easy to see
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
One look at you girl, it's easy to see
Oh no you don't fool me, oh babe you don't fool me
I'll play along, just give it to me
Instrumental
Yeah, said it's alright, I wont forget
All the times Ive waited patiently for you
And you do just what you choose to do
And I will be alone again tonight, my dear
Yeah, I heard a funny thing somebody said to me
You know that I could be in love with almost anyone
I think that people are the greatest fun
Thought I'd seen some changes
Thought I knew it well
But through my back pages
There's a tale to tell
Guess when I saw you
I didn't have a chance
Though I know her reputation
I know I liked that first dance
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
Can't stop from thinkin'
What we could do
Just one night there
I finally knew
Lookin' at the distance
Between you and my heart
I never knew I'd fall
Right from the start
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
Was this a real love
Or just another hot Saturday night?
This is one time you can't walk away-
Hey there now big shot well just listen to me
I know the score and it's no great mystery
I hear you talking and it's all been said
But what I'm thinking I keep inside my head
* I ain't no baby, so get out of my way
Keep in with your own kind
Ain't none of your business, you got nothing to say
Stay away, forever
You play the cool star it's a dangerous game
Don't forget the street and who gave you your name
Romancin' with the company as they pour in the Pounds
If the Next thing is you and then who are the clowns?
* chorus
--instrumental--
* chorus
Stay away, forever
Can you feel me, I'm so close I'm sure
Anytime if you would call be right to your door
Is it over, lost this time for good
I never knew that I could be so misunderstood
* We are the only ones, left alone with this heart of stone
We are the only ones with nothin' left but fools alone
Life's so empty, there's nothin' left for me
Oh I wish you were back, baby you and me
Last September, it's like yesterday
You slipped through my hands, there's nothing more to say
* Repeat
I can feel the magic in your heart tonight
I thought we had something oh so right
Baby tell me do you still care
'Cause this ain't no game of kiss and dare
[INSTRUMENTAL]
* Repeat twice then go into the instrumental fade out
I heard from Frankie there's trouble at his place
On Highway 95 the police they gave me chase
I was with his sister I hadn't seen a thing
They had an APB just to bring me in
* Oh, I had Jenny by my side
Oh, she never told me that she'd lied
** If that's the way (that) our love goes
I'll take my chances with you I know
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
I wasn't gonna stop they'd have to catch me first
And as I ran the red I heard the gunfire burst
Across three counties chasin' me for days
But Judge I didn't know that she was under age
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well the judge he was generous and gave me a rest
Of eighteen months in the county's best
And I got a visit from Jenny yesterday
By the time I'm out everything will be OK
* Repeat
** Repeat
She gave me one look
You could see it in her eyes
And we'll go the way the wild wind blows
*** And while I'm away dream of dreams
That what we had no one had seen
Because we go the way the wild wind blows
*** Repeat and fade
People say I'm a lion at heart
But they don't know what I am
People say that I stand apart
But they just don't understand
* Everynight when the darkness calls
I'll be there at your beck and call
** I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool right now
People say I'm a man of means
But my plans are full of holes
People say I'm a holy child
But I'm rich down to my soul
All I need is you close beside me All I need is to satisfy
**Repeat
I'm a fool for you baby
I'm a fool in love
Every mornin' when the sun comes up
And all your dreams, they slip away
I see your face and I understand
You're the only one, only one to make my day, yeah
Everybody say you ain't no good
But I won't believe it's true
They all say I ought to find someone,
but my heart belongs to you
* Repeat
** Repeat
** Repeat
She told me her story, hoped I would understand
And I listened closely, as anybody can
But there's a distant look that's in her eyes
And as the nights grow longer, alone in bed she cries
My baby met a man on her first date
He stole her heart an' sealed her fate
And she thought she'd found a friend for life
He wanted her but not to be a wife
* La la li, la la li
A fool for love never wonders why
La la li, la la li
She hangs on in but it's just another goodbye
** (Now) every day is like another day
She lets it all drift on away
An' every man is like another man
They come and go but she never can
And from sixteen to thirty-two
She lost her loves and her good looks too
It's so sad to see at first hand
From a teenage beauty to a one night stand
* Repeat
** Repeat twice
[INSTRUMENTAL]
My daddy told me "Boy, you only shoot to kill"
I'm livin' just for that thrill
Nobody hurts me 'cos the payback's twice as bad
In this town you don't make a man mad
(1) Ted McKinley's dying
At the wheel of his truck
The engine running till it seized up
And nobody heard a thing
Not a shout or gun shot ring
Just a smell of diesel in the dust
(Diesel in the dust)
McKinley wouldn't back down from any man alive
But you need to if you're to survive
The folks in town wanna settle their score
By using their own kinda law
(1) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
No one had seen a thing when the sheriff's car pulled in
Just the silence you get from kin to kin
The preacher bowed his head, glad that he was dead
And the better the least that was said
(1) Repeat
In this town there was a man out on his own
With no account of how he stood alone
Nobody hear a thing, not a shout or gun shot ring
Just the smell of diesel in the dust
Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones
Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones
And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Walking on water
Walking on the mountain
I've got no whiskey running through my veins
They take me to the justice
And I wave old glory
There's no sentence for all these pains
Cause I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
So help me please
Take me to the river, cleanse me with water
Because the good Lord has baptized me
I can't live like you good people
I'll bare my soul for the world to see
I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
I don't think so
I don't know so
I keep falling down like little drops of rain
I don't know you
Tell me what's true
What is real, and what it is you call insane
Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones
Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones
And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know
Repeat (1)
Oh yeah
Im not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home
Its no secret, the world unwinds
Maybe now you're not alone
Its just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
Straitlaced to the bone
(this story will not play? )
You take the wheel and play the chance
Suddenly the rooms divided
As in the way of true romance
Its always undecided
Its just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
Shipwrecked to the bay
(this story will not play? )
Every time he climbs back up
Smacked down with a dime
Its evens or odds now
Just ran out of time
(instrumental)
Loves a struggle, there's a fight
No bone of contention
So unhappy, well heres the bite
That's the mother of invention
Its just another day
In the life of cowboy joe
Strange place to play
Its just another day
Daddy daddy, come and look
Come and see what I have found
A little way's away from here
While digging in the ground
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
That thing's just a picture book
They had before the war
Daddy daddy, come and see
Daddy, hurry, do
There's someone in a pretty dress
And she's all grown up just like you
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
Someone is your mommy
You had before the war
Daddy daddy, tell me please
Tell me if you can
Why things can't be the way they were
Before this war began?
Come away Melinda
Come in and close the door
Answer lies in yesterday
I wake up feeling lost without you
And the pain reminds me that I'm all alone
Those dreams we had, are now a nightmare
I feel just like a dog without a bone
Now is now and then was then
But I can't get used to being without you
It's a brand-new start and now I know that I should've
But I never ever thought I'd miss your eyes
"say" here we go again
All I need is you tonight
Why don't you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall
I'd die for you over and over again
But I guess you've heard it all before
You say times have changed, changed your ways
But your absence makes me need you more and more
It's a brand-new start and now I know that I should've
Loved you then...
All I need is you tonight
Why don't you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall
All I need is you tonight
Why don't you call
All I need is you tonight
To catch my fall- that's all

C´mon everybody and let´s get together tonight
Got some money in my jeans and I´m really gone spend it right
No more movies for a week or two, No more running round with the usual crew
Ah who cares? C´mon everybody
Wll my baby´s No.1 but I gotta dance with 3 or 4
The place is really shaking form the bare feet slapping on the floor
When you hear the music you can´t sit still
Your brother won´t rock but your sister will
Whoo! C´mon everybody
My place is really rocking so we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come home I´m afraid they´re gonna have my hide
No more movies for a week or two, No more running round with the usual crew
Who cares? C´mon everybody
C´mon everybody and let´s get together tonight
Got some money in my jeans and I´m really gone spend it right
No more movies for a week or two, No more running round with the usual crew
Daylight's rising across the plains
This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
I smuggle whiskey, I smuggle gin
Where there's a need well I just truck on in
I'm a gambling man, son of a gun
I'll take the risks now baby I'll make the run
Wanna get home now, back in the saddle
Ain't gonna drive this kinda grade A cattle
Daylight's rising across the plains
This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
Albuquerque now, New Mexico
This .???.. one night show, yeah

One step further from the law
Lord I guess I'm just on borrowed time
But I'm one step closer to the

Wanna hear the sweet sound of my tailgate lift
Lord I'm dying out on this road
Wanna see my baby, help me unload

Rolling stock now, shifting steel
Got a woman with a touch to heal
Diesel, dust and my wheels are humming

He walked into the sunset
He walked out of the dawn
He rode that Palomino
It was a one man storm
Oh is this the party
Ah I just got started
He disappeared fell down the cracks
He walked out never came back
Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Falling down the stairs
Falling out of cars
Lying in the gutter
Just looking at the stars
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you?
Oh is this the party
Ahh I just got started
It was the biggest circus in town
They came from far and wide
Consuela and her sisters now
Couldn't hold the tide
She was a girl with a diamond smile
Lost herself on the golden mile
Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Falling down the stairs
Falling out of cars
Lying in the gutter
Just looking at the stars
Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you
Oh black and blue
We're stuck together
With just a little glue now
He was a man sad and over
Caught a bus back to California
Oh black and blue
Look what loves done to you
Who's been beating up on you
Out of this cuckoos nest
I guess you flew
Where are you tonight
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you
Turn out the light
Oh, Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane
The open letter just carelessly placed
And your moving silence, the tea so delicately laced
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Came from passion and you gave it a name
The fingers of poison like needles in the drivin' rain
So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace
Now I must slip away but can you forget my face
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
Its another night out on the avenue
Looking for something, something that you knew
And you're wondering where she is
Now there's now there's no more rendezvous
*youre left out here on this cold stark street
With the sound of lovers as they tango and meet
Their sweet surrender with a promise and a kiss
Wheres that girl, the one you miss
Those ooh la la la girls in their skirts they go rushing by
They look around and give you that come on
With their dreamy dreamy eyes
Then you never stop to count your mistakes
That one blind moment with no give and take
Is lost in every strangers face you see
If there's a loser that losers me
** please put a little love back into my life
Wont you please put a little love back into my life
Every nights another night you keep looking back
Trying to fill the spaces hours and the minutes and the missing gaps
* repeat
** repeat
[instrumental]
Every shadows like a ghost that comes and haunts you
Angel of the night plays her tricks today it's true
With every step, every step you see her slip away
Not just today
Its another night out on the avenue
Looking for something, something that you knew
Bet you never thought that time would go so fast
Bet you never thought a memory would last
Is it wrapped up in boxes with your old fashioned crazies
Packed all away with life's scars and grazes
Hey baby blue
I still remember you,
Still remember you
In my life
Hey baby blue
Where you running now,
Where you running now
In your own life
Going round and round and round
In my little world
Going round and round and round
In my little world
Everytime I saw your face
There was magic in the air
I see a sunny San Francisco morning
Baby you meet me there
Sometimes I'm left wondering
Sometimes it makes me so blue
Let me take you down to Mexico
Cos I'm still in love with you
Everytime I get to thinking, thinking of you
Under a sweet corrella, does it burn you too
And if sometimes I wonder when,
When sleep don't come at night
I still move and I groove and I jump and shout
Oh God I'm still in for the fight
Hey baby blue
I still remember you
Don't leave the world behind
Leave the world,
Leave the world behind
Solo
Going round and round and round
In my little world
Going round and round and round
In my little world
Hey baby blue
I still remember you,
Still remember you
In my life
Hey baby blue
Where you running now,
Where you running now
Hit me like a hammer to my head
We thrashed in bed baby
Drove a truck right through my life
Struck me like a knife
There's a finger in my pie, someone else's guy
Caught you with your pants down, fingers in the till
Caught you stealing something, my last thrill
(1) Chorus:
At war with the world as this life unfurls
Ooh, better get ready
At war with the world, as this life unfurls
Better get ready
Living like a hound dog who's not fed
Life's one big bed baby
From the trash right on the street and anyone you meet
Trying to make the first glance and I doubt you will last
Caught you with your pants down fingers in the till
I guess I've swallowed life's hardest pill
I'm running on empty
Feel I'm running dry
I don't have a love life
It'll make a grown man cry
I got an old lady
But we don't touch
I'm looking for some magic
Is that asking too much
White sails and song birds, warm candle light
I don't want Disney, I wanna rock all right
Call me a cynic
You can call me a fool
But I want my life back
I wanna jump in the pool
I need to tango
I got to rock
I wanna little couch dancer
Who can stop my clock
Boxes of chocolate and cold ice cream
It's too much cinamon
it's enough to make you scream
No more pretty words, I've run out of track
No more bland monotony, I'm not going back
A married life can bury you, it's like a disease
I've seen hard men crying and brave men on their knees
Going back to my roots now
To what I know best
Well I need my cherry
And her treasure chest
I got me a dancer
From a personal ad
She do the Watusi
Come on you color me bad
Ferris wheels and beaches, walks along the sand
Please no candy kisses, just pump me a rocking band
-solo-
All those pretty words, I've run out of track
All that bland monotony, I'm not going back
A married life can bury you, it's like a disease
I've seen hard men crying, brave men on their knees
Brave men begging please

Goin' down to George's where you just have been
To see if you've been boogie-ing, ah you know what I mean
My left leg's dragging my right leg's l imp
My heads so wavy and i can't feel it
I gotta see you baby, you'll be alright
I wanna boogie baby, boogie tonight

Well old George is boogie-ing he's been a boogie-ing with you
Ah I wanna boogie w u baby

Timothy tries but he can´t explain
All of the things that shatter his brain
Comes from the garden shouting and grinning
Hey Timothy where do you come from
Only befriended with Jerry the mouse
Seems to know what Timmy´s talking about
Comes from the garden shouting and grinning
Hey Timothy where do you come from
Does he come from the sky? Does he come from the land
Does he come from the earth? Does he come from the sea? Timothy?

Little girl, you´re so fine
With that body you gotta be mine
Was a brownie and I was a scout
Baby I never knew how you shook it about
Do me a good deed give me what I need
If you move like that I´ll give you what´s in store
You won´t come back asking me for more
(II)..Too hot ain´t slept so well
Young boys troubles aren´t doing me well
Give me your kisses every night
I wanna shake you and hold you tight,
I wanna shake..
Since I met you I ain´t slept so well
Young boy trouble aren´t doing me well
Give me your kisses every night
I wanna shake you and hold you tight

If you want me to do everything girl just for you
Change your mind telling me lies
Come and see you in the morning come and see you in the morning
Time after time, told me lies these are things girl which I despise
If I go wrong in your eyes, leave you girl in the morning,
Leave you girl in the morning
As time goes by wish you had never treated me so bad
You know you´re only going to want me back
Far away in the morning far away in the morning
If you want me to do everything girl just for you
Change your mind telling me lies
Come and see you in the morning, come and see you in the morning
they don't seem to sound right, I have put them in [ ].
/Who's/ ["He's"] dressed to kill, out to thrill
Waiting for you tonight
Got my ear down to the ground
Waiting for the warning sound
Something's got to bite
* And I 'm looking for a wild rose
In the heat of the night
Waiting for a show
Looking for a wild rose
In the heat of the night
Waiting for a show
** And the wild, the willing and the innocent
Are down, down in the jungle tonight
As the jackal tracks every step you make
Watching, waiting for the one chance to bite
Time was right, a satin light
In the final dangerous game
/Trap set,/ ["Attracted"] in the net
Feel my hands start to sweat
Ooh I'm taking aim

Now you look so peaceful, lyin' there asleep
With the wings of god above you
Before the spirits meet
--Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
* Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Shadow EARTH is closin' in above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin' down FOR YOU to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by the, hands on your clock
Heaven's door just don't open when you knock
* Repeat
With the darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul
one sweet kiss on your clay cold lips
DEATH'S LONG sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go
Where do we go from here

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need
And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need
(Lyrics as recorded in 1968 for "The Howlin' Wolf Album")
Just a kid with a crazy dream wants it all before he's seventeen
Don't know where to begin
With a wild thought he knows the fact, no no there's no looking back
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Some people make it and others don't try, they seem happy to live out a lie
I'm right here on my own
Me I'm a gambler and I pay for my sins, I've been right there and I'm back again
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Let's get away right out of here, it's not soon enough for me
Breaks of a lifetime it's there like a lifeline, reach out and grab it it's free
-- (short instrumental)--
How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1

How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
How does it feel...to be out on your own... just gotta
how does it feel to be out on your own, just gotta keep lookin' out for #1
How does it feel to be out etc.

Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...

Gotta give you love oh cherry
dance for me there's only you
play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden , We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of thei night I roll alone
On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer
Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right
Come on cherry let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever, now.....

Gotta give my love oh Cherry, dance for me there' s only you

Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now

And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
into the highways of the night I roll alone
I'm lettin' go now, Don't think I can last
I'm lettin' go now, I've been living too fast
I'm not up in the morning Arid beat the clock at night
it's got so damn predictable, Feel I'm doing time
**Oh no I can't Stand another day
I see those gates a' closing
Caught in the ricochet
Oh no my life's in miniature
I'll be here forever
How much more can a poor boy take
When all he needs is an even break
I'm lettin' go now
Work is driving me crazy
Lettin' go now
Take a lot save me
Started when I was sixteen it's been just like a drug
I'm working every day You'd think I was in love
(Repeat * *)
(Repeat *)
We seem to be so alone
How it feels is nothing new
We're only going through the motions
Me and you
I'll go back home again
There's nothing left but empty rooms
We're passing through and
It can't end for us too soon
* Anyday, anyday
I've got to get up and go
I wanna tear all this down
Breakaway, breakaway
Everyday seems so damn slow
I don't wanna be around
Now my baby sits and stares
The clock spins the hours away
And there's nothing left
For you or I to say
Should be out having fun
How comes we don't anymore
But we been through this
Too many times before
Here comes my coat now
Put it on my head
Before I get to city prone
I ain't no judge
I ain't no diplomat
I don't need no crystal ball
(Repeat*)
Maybe tomorrow
Maybe next week
Oh baby the future looks bleak
I can't believe what's been goin' on
You're never there
You're always gone
A little faith goin' a long way
Always thought that you would stay [???]
Diggin' for gold
Movin' on, I'm out in the cold
* No no baby, I believed in you
No no baby, it's not true
No no baby, I believed in you
Don't put my heart on the line
** This time, let it be me
I'll be the one that you can see
This time I'll be your man
I'm right here baby, here in your hand
Situation is the classic kind
Caught in this trap, oh love is blind
Friends keep saying that you're bad news
I keep saying how could you choose
[???] one more time
Just to believe you are mine
At the point of no return
A fool in love, when will I learn
* Repeat
** Repeat twice
There's no sign that this love of ours
Will go on and on
I took a long look at love
From the point of view there's an Angel above..

There's no sign that this love of ours will go on and on

Sarah has her dreams and makes her plans
To get what she wants when she can
A little bit of heaven was all she asked for
In those silent moments deep in the night
She'd find herself make it feel all right
Hungers for the bright life and something more
With her young heart so gently beating
A secret rendezvous lovers meeting
Out in the night, out in the night night night night
Played on the radio, heard on the news
Baby's gone lost they found her shoes
You can turn out the light
You better turn out the light
* You go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steel yourself away
Another page, another day
In your lonely heart
Beating out in the dark
Lonely heart
And beneath the lights the rock 'n' roll band
Electric guitars, one night stands
Are you giving away, giving away
With hungry and oh so desperate eyes
The souls who get hurt believe in their lies
You only betray only betray
[INSTRUMENTAL]
And now you cry yourself to sleep
Against the odds you wanted to beat
You never say no, never say no no no no
Left with the promises that you swore
The price you pay is the love you tore
Now where did it go, where did it go
* Repeat
Terri every time we talk we just disagree
Every chance we had is passing by
The simple things you say all drift away into the night
So don't let me know what I can't see
* Terri is it over again
Lost in love
Everybody laughing at me
With eyes like a child
You smile when you hit the tide
Holding me captive
For the world to see
Every now and then I'd see that wild look in your eyes
It's in all the long shots that we tried
We used to hold on tight, run for the night
How far we'd go we couldn't see
* Repeat
Every day goes by we get further and further away
Conversations end with nothing much to say
Maybe we've made a mistake it's too late we'll never know
We can't change it girl 'cause I just have to go
[INSTRUMENTAL]
* Repeat
On these lonely nights I reach out for your love
This empty room feels cold and bare
Then I'll try the phone and swallow my pride
It's no good we've tried and tried
* Repeat
I'm the writer got a front page cover
Hot gossip 'bout who's with their latest lover
I write all chapters by the second scene
I call the shots, don't need a Fleet Street team
I am a writer and I'm the news
You cross me you know you're gonna lose
I'll do the story if you're dead or alive
If seconds out or if you're gonna take a dive
Slip out the news or a piece of scandal
Don't toe the line, 'cause nothing's too hot to handle
I am the writer and I'm the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Yeah you're gonna lose
[INSTRUMENTAL]
I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
And where you are it's because of me
'Cause overnight you know it don't come free
I'll put you up there or I'll bring you down
'Cause nothing moves without me in this town
I am a writer and I am the news
If you cross me you know you're gonna lose
Boy you're gonna lose I said you're gonna lose
I write the news I am the news
Got to, got to lose
Oh yeah you're gonna lose
So don't step on my blue suede shoes...

Going to Jamaica,
Warm and coral waters flow
There she goes
Sun kissed her body, in this magic feel love grow,
Love grows
Feel like letting go
Hey Mr. Saturday night
?? Right out the hole
It stops in a minute,
It's right down in it
Hey, we're really back on a roll
I don't know why, I don't know why
Feel so good I could die, I could die
Great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth, on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again
Dream time (Lavinia??),
Even though the odds are stacked, she's coming back
(moon monkeys barking?) In a bitter chocolate glow,
There she goes, feel like letting go...
Hey, Mr. Cool jazz nights, let the fever go,
It stops in a minute, I'm down in it
Hey, play it long and slow
I don't know why, I don't know why,
Feels so good I could die, I could die,
With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again
(instrumental)
With a great escape, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer
With a head full of hammers both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again
I've been stricken, I'll be there, by the skin of my teeth on a wish and a prayer, and I'm
Not going down, both feet in the grave, I'm gonna stand I'm gonna rise again.
Dream time (Lavinia??)
Feel like letting go.

Lady love to hang on
Played it like a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window there you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head
Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Louise Fazenda and Buster Keaton [+++]
Over my head, so it's all
** Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

[+++]Note: Michael Pincher verified this line with Mogg.
Louise Fazenda, an American vaudeville actress, made 134 movies between 1913-1935, but the only one I could find that involved film legend Buster Keaton was "Slippery Pearls." Fazenda was married to director Hal Wallis ...
All the boys hangin out down in the parking lot
The night riders giving all they got
While the girls look so good at looking bad
/out strutting/ [Im struggling] dressed in the latest fad
Valentino looks for something new
Escapes for the night and waits his cue
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they're makin moves
Kids clothe armour hands like battle dress
Got his act down, some kind of feeling
And tonight they're gonna make the run
Downtown, call the garrison
From the back roads through the alleys it screams
You gotta get a feeling mean, mean, mean
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they're makin moves
[instrumental]
Rockface going nowhere fast
Some gonna make it, some don't even last
Just one night they don't give a damn
Im the star , hides another sham
There's no silver and there's no gold
Its just that one shot before they're old
And I love the way they make their move
Yes I love the way they make you move
Ooh I love I just love the way they make their move

Now here's an invitation
It's on page 33
Attractive and exciting female
Must be looking for someone like me
Looking through your magazine
Now here's a cryptic clue
Yes the river is swollen
This one could be, could be for you
Come on lover pickup the phone
02900 in the Twilight Zone
Oh she let's the good times roll
Come on baby now free my soul
Oh she lets the good times roll
Heat it up and just let me go
A knight in shining armor
Honest and sincere
That's the way I'll word it now
Oh! plus a good career
Sticky situations
They will fade away
Place an ad in this column
And find a love you pray
Come on baby pick up the phone
Dial my number in the twilight zone
Oh she lets the good time roll
Take it real fast or you can take it slow
Oh she let's the good time roll
Just pump it up now let me go
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(1) Oh she lets the good times roll
She takes it fast or you can take it slow
Oh she lets the good times roll
Now heat it up babe just don't let go
Two lovers in a desperate game
She holds him close but their loves in vain
And the married man that you laid
Goes back home to his own charade
She puts her faith in every word he said
Tender moments in a motel bed
When you press the point he says well see
But then walks to his mystery
* so darling you tell me it's a wild world
You gotta take a little pain and
How long will love last that you can
Never, never explain
** do you just
Let it rain, let it rain
Don't stop those tears falling again just
Let it rain, let it rain
Now you see that loves just a game
In his arms time goes so fast
But stolen love will never last
You try to keep him though you know it's wrong
This kind of love can only last so long
[short instrumental]
* repeat ** repeat
hear they hung the jailer
The messenger is dead
The piano player's singing
To the lovers in his bed
This road is winding back
And there's no end in sight
No sign of our dead Lord
To guide us through this starless night
And through every open doorway
You can choose
And sometimes you win it
And sometimes you lose
This one's for Rosaleen
With a bullet through a breast
This one's for you, my uninvited guest
Oh now my beauty lies
So deep in her sleep
Will some angel keep her spirit sweet
And the simple things to say
Don't always work out that way
The touching of our souls
They don't drift away
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Fine Spanish lace and a wedding gown
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Don't you really love her, don't you really care
You've been looking forever, how did she get you there
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
Isn't she so pretty, isn't she so fine
Haven't you been blessed to hold her all the time
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
(can't figure out this part)
(instrumental)
Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth,
Looking at the future, she's right here on earth
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon
Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
And I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat
The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah
Euston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care
You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat
The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah
Loser

Before I aske her what she wanna do she said to me
Who do you love, who do you love, who do you love...
Who do you, who do you want every night
I´m gonna give you kisses and hold you tight
You look to me for some outstanding meaning
You got the devil in your eyes and nothing in your soul
If you think I'm gonna sell myself, then you must be dreaming
There's no way, I'm gonna fall into your hole
You never seem to help me when I'm bleeding
You gotta knife for a tongue and you're tearing at my heart
I thought you were a friend, but in truth you never liked me
You lied and cheated us from the start
You are wrong, love doesn't last forever
You're nothing new there is no mystery
Now you're gone you thought you were so clever
You and me are now history, we're history...
SOLO
I don't like your face
I don't like your eyes
I don't like your lips, I hate your lies
This time's the last time it's goodbye time
You are wrong, love doesn't last forever
You're nothing new there is no mystery
Now you're gone you thought you were so clever
You and me are now history, we're history...
We're history, we're history
I don't need you and I don't care

I walked through this place, although it wasn´t really there
And when I reached the other side, thought I didn´t really care
I moved round a bit, and started seeing people
And the people that I met, oh were all covered in treacle
Everyone was laughing, evereyone except for poor old me
So I tried to entertain them, oh but they were hard to please
Standin' in the night, I don't know just somewhere
And I'm feeling cold inside about what I see
Give 'em all guns, there's nothin' left- for losers
Time is running out so secretly
This ain't no paradise
The nightmare's on it's way
Insanity appears- in their eyes
Streets on fire- ready or not
Will the goodtimes return- no way!
Streets on fire- ready or not
Will we ever learn- no way!
Echoing sounds of thunder make me shiver
Battlefields turn to wasteland- no one wins
The ghost of terror creeping, through the cities
And someone says it's a holy war
This ain't no paradise...
Streets on fire- ready or not...
SOLO
Humans will always fight
The same shit everywhere
East or west, the same desires
Will always haunt the earth

Well she struck like lightning
Sent the blood rushing to my head
And she was so exciting
I took a walk I didn't have to be led
* and I had my highlights, I had it all
I thought that life was my crystal ball
Now there's a highway running
She drove a truck right through my life
** I jumped in to the burnin fire
Led by lust and my desire
I jumped in to the burnin fire
Led by lust my desire
Well I was born a preacher
Fire and brimstone Im a baptist man
She was gods own creature
What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now
* repeat
** repeat
[instrumental]
Well she skipped across the floor
And she looked so fine
With her hair flowing back
I thought she was mine
I dreamed on in my own head
Now lord I wish I was dead
** repeat
** repeat
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin fire
And you don't win
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin fire
Joey rides the subway
Fast from east to west
On the street he's number one
Some say that he's the best
Got something going on
In a honky tonk down town
He is expected
Word has got around
The other-side of midnight
Or in the combat zone
Meeting no resistance
Joe stands alone
Night riders prowling
Out into the night
There's someone else out there
And they're looking for a fight
Between the rain soaked buildings
A distant whistle blows
Fate lies in waiting
It's hand it never shows
(1) Heart beating like a drum
Out in this wasteland
And there's no place baby for us to run.
(In) Jungle land (baby)
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Under the railway arches
Someone calls his name
Streams out the words
Come on boy this ain't no game
One flash of bright cold steel
In a stranger's hand
Kids dance away like shadows
There's no one to command
Joey's got his name
Painted on the walls
On the side of buses
Subways and tenement halls
(Repeat (1))
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Jungle land, jungle land
Said she came from Memphis
You can look but, please don?t touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
It seemed a bit much too much
'Cause it?s the natural thing, you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she?ll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright
Think I?m gettin' through
Don?t you think the band?s real tight
Wait till we start to move
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down for the last encore
With every star she meets
'Cause it?s the natural thing, you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she?ll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright
Think I?m gettin' through
Don?t you think the band?s real tight
Wait till we start to move
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny, but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it?
Why?d you do it? yeah
Oh, God, why?d you do it?
Don't bust up my heart, my home, now
Don't make me ill
Don't stay around now,
No, don't you linger, don't waste my time
Don't block my light,
Don't stay here another night.
You're a waste of space and a waste of time
Get out of my house, get out of my mind
Get up! Hit the road! Get up you heavy load.
Sick out of your head
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
Get up! Move it out!
Get up, you little lout.
Sick out of your head
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
What have I done to deserve this?
Where did I go wrong?
Why did I stop instead of moving along?
Trouble with you is you don't listen anymore
Trouble with me is I don't care any more
It's all gone wrong in so little time
You can take whats yours, you can leave what's mine
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
I'm sick of you messing up the bed
Im lettin go now, don't think I can last
Im lettin go now, Ive been living too fast
Im not up in the morning arid beat the clock at night
Its got so damn predictable, feel Im doing time
**oh no I can't stand another day
I see those gates a closing
Caught in the ricochet
Oh no my lifes in miniature
Ill be here forever
How much more can a poor boy take
When all he needs is an even break
Im lettin go now
Work is driving me crazy
Lettin go now
Take a lot save me
Started when I was sixteen it's been just like a drug
From liner notes
The tide crashed on the shore
As he held her in his arms
They swore their love would stay forever more
And never slip away
From this moment on
As they made their wedding vows
He knew how life would change, oh
Love was blind for now
Hey, but knock, knock, knock
Put the chain on the door
She's back again and now she wants more
Knock, knock, knock
The thief's back to steal
The shirt off my back, my next meal
I'm not living anymore
I'm just breathing day to day
Everything I had has gone, she has taken it away
Heaven's door has opened and looked me in the eye
And there is no Mt. Olympus, just before you die
Knock, knock, knock
She's got the house and the car
The only thing left is my old guitar
Knock, knock, knock
Her foot's in the door
The shirt's off my back, now she wants more
And tonight on T.V. well they show a happy pair
I almost wept with laughter
As some fool caught the bouquet the bride threw in the air
(instrumental)
At the final curtain call, in the neon light display
I see all the ugly scars that illuminate my day
And hail the promised land, it's upped and gone to bed
Bleeding hearts and mothers weeping
Sometimes I wish her dead
Repeat (1)
Hey, but knock, knock, knock
Put the chain on the door
She's back again and now she wants more
Knock, knock, knock
The thief's back to steal
You knock me out you're like a well oiled Smith & Wesson
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Dressed to the nines, you know you don't look 15, there's no question
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe
Don't need I.D. and there's no house detective to crowd you...
Hot & Ready, ready to use
Slip in the back door and slip out of what ever your into
Hot & Ready, ready to use
I'm coming through I've gotta get to you babe (2x)
---(instrumental)---
I'm coming through, I've gotta get to you babe (2x)
First changing mirrors
Fly up on the wall
Hi honking honey
This is my call
Oh I'm changing faces
I guess I'm Mr. Hyde
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
Burning like a bush fire
Sinking in the mire
I trapped her like a birdie
Caught her in the wire
And when it all comes down babe
I am left sitting on your fire
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
I am stuck down here in the street
With a Chinese bone
And Chinese feet
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body
Oh I'm changing faces
Can you hear me
We ain't about to quit boy
The bands back in town, alright
And you can all juice off
Show me a mountain, show me the top
Show me a woman that just can't stop
Hey baby set me free
Well I'm stuck down here in the cellar
I got shotgun in my hand
Somewhere my baby's going blind
And it's hard being me, Hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me It's hard being me
I'm a crazy man
I got wounds and cuts, Shining like dimes in my eyes
Somewhere my baby's going blind
Sometimes I wonder, Sometimes I confuse
Oh baby we can loose, Oh my baby's going blind
And it's hard being me, Hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me, hard being me
I'm shaking like a leaf
Strange is that how we look
In my house now it's an open book
Strange that's a place
We don't go there and we don't leave a trace
Well it's out of my pocket
Out of control
I am still in love with you baby
So is it
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Is It Goodbye me
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Strange we still touch
Do we hold on now far too much
Strange is that a gift from above
Oh how we live
And it's out of my pocket
It's out of control
I still love you to my very soul
Is it
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Goodbye me
Goodbye you Is It Goodbye me
You said that was that but this is it
How are you to make the pieces fit
Into a plan to start a new life
Friends pat your back, then stab you with a knife
(2) I must be blind
I'm gettin' ready to redefine
No [loose connections] as it feels right
I'm gettin ready to hit the [line]
Can you fee me
Inside and out, I'm just waiting for you
[Cuz] it's alright
Now I know just what I want to do
(2) Repeat
When a day breaks, turns you around
And your world upside down
And the visions fade
Rights and wrongs and just where you've gone
(2) Repeat
[Pickin' up] is such an awful drag
And I could lose my mind
And every time that I turned around
I never knew if I could really find you
[disputed lyrics in brackets]
Have you ever had the time to see, me and you could change to be
Take a dream away with you live it now and you will see
Found myself on an open road [got no hand] to show the way
Upped and started walking on to a land seemed so far away
After so long felt I was damned then I reached some gates and held a hand
But came to the point of sing and say, laughing people led me in to stay
Their happiness [held me, made me ] strong. I felt this is where I belong
I don't want another day just wanna laugh live sing and say
It's so strange I feel this way, it's so real, it's happening today,
Stop still something burns my body falls I begin to turn
(instrumental verse)
Flying drifting falling down, I found myself beneath the ground,
In a place that's strange to me, the earth is black and there's not a tree
Well its so dark there's not a sound just the feeling of wanting to be found
I must make haste to be gone, in this place I do not belong
I thought I tried to move a foot, I just remained where I stood,
And in the distance I heard aloud the shrill of blank deathly sound
I tried, I tried, I tried to run, but every move I was where I begun,
It's too late, shadows over me blind my eyes I cannot see
All my strength all my love, someone help me please above,
Death will surely take me down, I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground
(instrumental)
[See your two, see your one,] See your tomb, see you run, you fool, you fool your life has just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you
I can make you do what I want you to
Black it out and drag you down, all kinds of evil wear a crown
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free I can be just anyone that I want to be
Leave me now get out of my way
(instrumental)
[See your two, see your one] See your tomb, see your rock, who are you fooling life's just begun
Here to taunt, to torment you
I can make you do what I want you to,
Knock it out drag you down, all kinds of people were aware of it now?
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt, lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true but I have no fear of what you can do
See I'm free so leave me alone I wanna go my way and be alone
Get out of my sight, get out of my way
(more instrumental)
I'm not through, and I'm on the run, you're the fool my life's not been done
I'll taunt you and I'll torment you
(instrumental)
Have this way with a dream never leave me so it seems
Life by night, life by day, the tale they tell will always stay
Walk the earth, walk the sky, don't let all this time go by
Hang on fast, don't let go or someone else will never know
Ride a road along with me chase a dream we all can see
Don't let bad, just see good it's all that just what you should
No truth will ever come along shine so bright in your eyes
No wide wonder will do that for you, just lock it fast, do what you got to do
Shout it loud, shout out loud just live how you want to be
Show yourself show yourself, live how you got to be
(More instrumental, followed by a verse from Rudyard Kipling's "Gunga Din" taped backwards: "Though I've belted you and flayed you,
by the living God that made you, you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din."
I hear the jukebox on its full playback
Her high-heeled shoes go clickity-clack
Sweet, sweet Suzy dress way low
Does a dance just to let you know
(1) You wanna feel it, feel it
Breaks your heart if you don't leave her alone
Feel it, feel it
It's one quick walk out in the danger zone
(2) Oooh, it's a love that makes you burn
Oooh, well a promise that you can see
Ooh every head she can she turns
Ooh (well that's love) (when you get that love to keep)
The boys' in Danny's bar and Grill
Swapping stories on the old cheap thrill
But you pick up the air as she walks in
She'll never talk much or try it again
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Every night she makes you dream a little more
With a smile that opens every door
In her eyes you'll see the promises
One kiss tells everything
[INSTSRUMENTAL]
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
Some girls you live with and some you need
This one's the girl that's gonna make you bleed
See her strut she moves from head to toe
What you ain't got she'll never know
was a blinding light
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whisky fury
Pounding like the devils rain
Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer
Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight
We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river
Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Sometimes I remember my life
The wheels been spinning so long
So many years have passed me by
And the feelings are still running oh so strong
Now something new is here
I'm gonna fly and spread my wings
And still the power, goes, on and on
Don't look back- Don't look back
Don't you ever, now or never, look back
Don't look back- Don't look back
Don't you ever- never look back
Day after day, night after night
Climbing into a new day
And now I think I've found my sight
To go on and never turn away
Now something new...
Don't look back- Don't look back
Don't you ever, now or never, look back
Don't look back- Don't look back
now or never- Don't you ever look back
SOLO
I'm gonna fly and spread my wings
cause still the power goes on and on
I see the lights,
I see the road
I see everything in the
Highway code
I've been whipped
And I've been spun cown
There ain't no religion here
And I'm homeward bound
Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side
Friendships come
And lifetimes go
In their passing to the
Bigger show
The river runs,
The tides will turn
If there's a hell,
Well I've yet to learn
Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side
To dream the dream that's over
Before it's gone
To hold your lover here
While your heart beats so strong
Baby when I love you
When everything is gone
When I'm kissing heaven
This love is never wrong
[Solo]
I hear the singing,
I hear the shout
The talk of meaning
For those in doubt
But amid all the wailing and
The wringing hands
Everybody thinks
Does anyone understand?
Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
Cos I am crossing over
Goin´ down to George´s where you just have been
To see if you´ve been boogie-ing, ah you know what I mean
My left leg´s dragging my right leg´s I imp
My head´s so wavy and I can´t feel it
I gotta see you baby, you´ll be alright
I wanna boogie baby, boogie tonight
Well old George is boogie-ing he´s been a boogie-ing with you
Ah I wanna boogie with you baby
I wanna boogie all night long
I wanna move with you, I wanna move
I wanna shake, wanna boogie too
It's another night stuck in here, with the TV on
As John Wayne holds the Alamo, I'm wonderin' where you've gone
I just sit and wait, hope it's not too late
Say there's something left to prove it to you
Outside this house nothing's changed
Our street looks just the same
The things you left I'll keep that way
Till we're together again
When I just start to slip, yes Il lose my grip
I can't believe you're gone, it's really true
(1) Blue, blue, oh baby where are you
Blue, blue, tell me know, it's not true
There's nothing romantic in a tear-drawn goodbye
Oh baby say it's a lie
Panic sets in, I'm an irrational man
If I can't have you nobody can
(1) Repeat
Last night, I heard you talkin
Oh so close, whispering in my ear
All night, till the morning
I kept wishing I could feel you near
When we stood naked at the 4th of July
Moon shot took off, lit up the sky
The Red Sea was parting for the second time
The world at my feet, you were mine, it was..
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Lovin' you was so easy baby
Holdin' on when our luck was down
Sweetest thing that I ever, ever heard
Was "I'll always, always be around"
Blue, blue, oh baby, where are you
I got the information from a friend last night
And it looks so very different in black and white
I was "part of the second party", that was me
Signed away my life, really couldn't see
(1) Blinded by, blinded by a lie
Blinded by, blinded by a lie
I know it's just the price you pay
I know you're nothing
(1) Repeat
Now you listen closely, don't you go away
There's a cut of something, in what I have to say
You keep the full deck from me, "Mr. Percent"
Through the legal jungle, who's the one that's bent?
(1) Repeat
I know it's just the price you pay
I know you've nothin' to say
And oh boy every dog has it's day
I know you'll be the one to pay
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well you think you're the queen of texas
Who you foolin now?
Giving off an air of innocence
You aint no sweet little flower
I thought I'd seen some cheatin done
That I'd sung bout in the blues
It wasn't til you met me baby
I got the bad bad news
An its
* all over you, yes it is
All over you
All over you, baby its
All over you
Can you tell me what's the mystery
You try and hide away
Wheres the money come to pay for that
Little adventure anyway
And you made all the right moves baby
You really turned a head
But when I was away from you
You were turning tricks instead
An its
* repeat
[instrumental]
Well I bet your mama doesnt't't know
What her babys into now
And you know how much she can cost
When you pay by the hour
And I guess that you can fool yourself
Oh you do most of the time
But in whose bed do you sleep tonight
Oh babe that's the bottom line
Hey there now big shot well just listen to me
I know the score and it's no great mystery
I hear you talking and it's all been said
But what I'm thinking I keep inside my head
(1) I ain't no baby, so get out of my way
Keep in with your own kind
Ain't none of your business, you got nothing to say
Stay away, forever
You play the cool star it's a dangerous game
Don't forget the street and who gave you your name
Romancin' with the company as they pour in the Pounds
If the Next thing is you and then who are the clowns?
(1) chorus
--instrumental--
(1) chorus
I've worked so hard, like Hyde on the chaos theory
I've found my madness quite complete
No sign of light or love divine intervention
While I was scoring on your street
I am the demon of your darkest thoughts
Wired to self destruct
A greedy, nasty, selfish little man
Who could never have or get too much
But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost
But everythings light on a Sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon
Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can
Out of the darkness and into the light
See the army grow and grow
And like a storm, a reign of terror
This ill wind will blow and blow
Repeat *
I'll take great pride and pleasure in your misery
And delight in your living hell
There's no known act of human kindnes left
My very mother I would sell
I'm not uncouthed, but educated
Now isn't that a scary thing
And elected to a place of power
Baby , look across the street
I know that you're alone
I've been waiting out in the dark
That surrounds your home
'Cause after midnight I'll be calling
C'mon answer the phone
* And baby you know there's no getaway
I belong to you
I'll be calling every night and day
'Till you want me too
Baby I've seen every movie
That you've ever made
And now I'm waiting
I know all the parts
That you've ever played
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Oh baby do you read my letters
I'm so excited about you
But I'm still waiting
I've had no reply
What about our rendezvous?
'Cause after midnight
Ooh while you're sleeping
You know I'm looking for you
* Repeat
Everything is wrong, yet they all deny it
But the time will come, when they can't hide it
Somebody says hey man- what's up with you
I say "just make way" cause I'm sick of you
Sick 'n tired of no good two faced liars
Buck here- buck there, that's their sole desire
Leaders always put your life in fear
I don't wanna see the world disappear
You got to burn it up- burn it up tonight
Cause the time has come for us- to put it right
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn 'em down with fire
No good thinking you don't have the power
Cause it's coming soon it's gonna be our finest hour
All I do is smile because I've been thru this before
I know just how to play this game- I'm kicking down your door
You got to burn it up- burn it up tonight...
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn 'em down with fire
You gotta break the rules, so keep the aces high
Break the rules- break the rules
Burn 'em down with fire
SOLO
Wonder if you belong, think youve got it down
Does it still feel the same, now that he's not around
Born to lose, born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.
Wonder how it all began, as if that mattered anyway
There's someone else you're always wanting, every single day
Born to lose, born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round,
Now that I know, I could never be, I would never be the only one.
* instrumental -
Born to lose, born to lose, make your mind up no fooling round
Young blood where you going now
Young blood where you going now
I didn't mind it when you left me honey
But I miss you ain't the truth
I haven't give up hanging on the phone
But all I hear is the Proof
*One more night and
I'm thinking what's going wrong
You say you love me but
Does love take this long
You paint a picture you tell a story
Oh the tangled web that you leave
I hear the whispers the candid talking
Arid I don't know what to believe
(Repeat*)
**Where do all these dreams have broken
Right or left it's stolen
Stop your running away
Young blood ooh tell me
Where you going now
Young blood ooh tell me
Where you going now
It's never never nothings forever
Turning gold in our hands
There's no magic it all seems tragic
'Cause it's slipped through our fingers like sand
(Repeat*)
(Repeat * * twice)
Run run running away
So this is it, have we come to the end
No more fun, oh my friend
But I'll take my chances now
Lettin' loose again
Wreckless weekends, weekends
Led by my heart, not my head
Tearing this whole world apart
I found something no one steals
It's love of life, it's so real
And I know it's hard for you
But here I go again
Wreckless weekends, weekends
Led by my heart, not my head
Tearing this whole world apart
Bringing me down when it starts
And if it's a lifetime term
Babe I guess I'll never learn
Got to make a stand right here tonight
Got the fever right to my feet
Kicking my heels and I'm coming on heat,
Tonight's the night we make it real
Oh baby, it's a steal
* It's no good tomorrow, it's too far away
I'm keeping my hand in, you gotta stay
There's no time for makeup, just put on your shoes
You know we've got nothing to lose
** Wreckless, born for a wild weekend
Wreckless, pushing it 'til the end
I'm tired of Houston, it sticks in my throat
I'm gonna swim , not gonna float
So break these chains and let me loose
'Cuz if I can't win, I'm gonna choose
* Repeat
** Repeat
** And I can't stand one more lonely night
Without a love that's got no fight
Oh baby , let me know
C'mon sugar, let it show
One more time, we will know
I gotta keep you, can't let you go
[INSTRUMENTAL]
*** Repeat
** Repeat twice then let the instruments take it on home!
I remember you when you was me
oh what a beautiful sight
you'd cool it up
or you'd cool it down
from some dizzy, dizzy height
I can still hear that rolling sound
like a diesel in my head
sometimes I wake and I think of you now
forgetting that you're dead
I was born on a rolling train
Runnin' when I hit the ground
I watch these wheels turning now
nothing here, nothing left
watching the daylight fade away
watching the daylight go to town
Well
This hotel rooms like the wild, wild west
and there's strangers moving underground
I still have your photograph
it picks me up when I'm feeling down
Pull up a chair and you pour me one
let's kick back and let it roll
There's nothing here
and there's nothing left
but watching the daylight go to town
We'd get swept up on a pillow fight
you just couldn't let it go
I watch these wheels turning now
nothing here, nothing left
watching the daylight fade away
watching the daylight go to town
Don't you fade away
solo
Well I guess I'm walking right back home
got to set this all down
pull up a chair and you pour me two
cos there's nothing here,nothing left
but watching the daylight turn around
watching the daylight go to town
watching this world spin around
watching the daylight go to town
Tell me now and I'll understand
Does Venus hold you in the palm of her hand
Has her blackness touched your very heart
She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart
And I just can't quit it babe
I just can't stand the pain
And I just can't quit it babe
I keep running back again
Little by little piece by piece
Your defenses have all slipped away
And real beauty's such an elusive thing
Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay
Repeat *
Oh no, its such a cold, cold feeling
Cuts your body to the bone
Oh no, its a strange, strange feeling
Loves been abandoned and I'm so alone
And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I've nothing left but this very life to save
And evry night I feel that I'm a winner
She's taking me down to the grave
And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer
I can't seem to chase the ghosts away
And every night I get too high, I'm a winner
I've nothing left but to pray
And every night she makes me feel like a winner
And every night she makes me think I'm a winner
Venus smiles and encircles me
And wraps me in a soft princely gown
Waves of darkness rise like the sea
In her addiction I will drown
(instrumental intro)
Yes she will be beautiful
And you will be vain
When the honeymoon is over
She will suck out your brain
Give me back my life
Give me back my call
Simply set me free
Stop banging my head on the wall
Put a black hat on me
Take out a voodoo bone
And the scars across my ceiling
They paint a picture to the great unknown
I'm coming unraveled
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable
It's taking its toll
And the lamps keeps sliding
Across the kitchen floor
And there's something to remember
Is this the life of a cross-cut saw
And I'm coming unraveled
Spinning out of control
I'm becoming unstable
I'm still paying the toll
Great expectations will have a glitch
Searching for power, may kill the bitch
Theater of pain
Love or lust in vain
Unraveled again!
Give me back my life,
Give me back my call
Simply set me free,
stop banging my head on the wall
She will be beautiful,
And you will be vain
When the honeymoon is over,
she will suck out your brain
I'm coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
I'm becoming unstable,
And I can't, I can't let go
(instrumental)
Coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable
Nobody, nobody knows
I'm coming unraveled,
Spinning out of control
Becoming unstable,
I can't, I can't let go
(instrumental and vocals fade out)
I really tried my hardest just to make you understand
(What) it feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man
But you gave me so much money
And you would not understand
I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin'
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
I just roll along
There's been one too many mornings
And one too many years
One of life's delinquents
who just can't take the pace
We found out the hard way
I hope you understand
That my life is just my habit
And I had an overdose
Repeat
I used to try, I used to try
Used to cry, oh I used to cry
--- solo ---
Repeat
(instrumental)
Windows are closing, you smell the track
Traffic is heavy
Up riding the rack
Bodies are buried, freeways and wells
Boneyards with vistas
Gateways to hell
When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line
Where no angels tread
Soldiers are gathering, not missing a beat
A poetry reading, while reaping the wheat
Out looking for Venus
She's black marble on ice
Cut to precision
Weighted like dice
When it's all over, You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog, won't care if you don't
(instrumental)
When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
Maybe you'll make it, maybe you won't
The world and his dog won't care if you don't
When it's all over,
You'll frown and fret
Way down the line, where no angels tread
(instrumental over and out!)
We Was going through A lifetime
I had a banshee on my back
we're down in corpus christie now
picking up the slack
now I was wondering where the wild boys
had started off and gone
this memories jamming buttons
stuck on some old song
And if you get this message
leave a sign or make a call
Mohammed's left his calling card
and it's written on the wall
Looking for the wild one, wild one
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one
She was gone in twenty seconds
right before my eyes
no more honey kisses
no more long goodbyes
and I feel like pink nevada
or cooler shade of blue
mother earth is closer now
walk me out in the morning dew
And if you get this message
leave a sign or make a call
Mohammed's left his calling card
and it's written on the wall
Looking for the wild one, wild one
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one
Looking for the
Solo
Sometimes I stop breathing
just to feel reborn
and it's like rolling thunder
blowing through the corn
through my back pages
I can see the change
there's a storm a coming now
coming through the rain
Solo
and I'm out here drifitng
a million miles alone
floating in a spaceship somewhere
falling like a stone,
falling like a stone
Still looking for the wild one,
yeah yeah
I'm on my way home
To see my little angel
Trying to put the pieces back together
Well it's been so long
I'm feeling like a stranger
But they tell me a good thing lasts forever
* Who's to say we can't talk it over
'Cause in time I know
That we'll work it out
Give it one more chance
Before it's too late
Baby until the last goodbye
Take it or leave it or leave me alone
Baby one (more) little Sad reply
Take it or leave it or leave me alone
As time passed
A thousand miles of ocean
I put you out of sight
And out of mind girl
And before too long promises were broken
Seemed no matter how we tried
(Repeat*)
Love and the stranger
So very far from home
A kid was playing Little Wing
I sat drinking on my own
Love and danger
Oh, they walk hand in hand
Said she was an actress
Thought I was in a band
Stopped by a bullet
She's a pinball rolling round my head
She turned on a dime
Left me for dead
I found love for the very first time
Hey Arizona, I can feel your heat
And I never, loved a tattoo
The way that I love you
Hey Arizona, in the coolest, desert wind
Willie's singing "Whiskey River"
I let love walk in
Stopped by a bullet
She's a pinball rolling round my head
She turned on a dime
Left me for dead
I found love for the very first time
Loved for the very first time
I found love for the very first time
Love for the very first time
Hey little Joe
Is that your working name
Are you hiding something
Or is the truth a darker stain
Hey little Joe
I'm not another fan
The chorus line's a pickup
And I'm a one night stand
Repeat *
Goin' through pages
and lookin' down lines and lines
Space of your life is only passing you by
Space child ages as he turns and faces the lie
Then after laughter was caught in his throat as he died
Fly on homeward
Worlds spinnin' by brings clouds in your eye tonight
The space of your life is only passing you by
Look there! Here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
She don't notice me when I pass
She goes with all the guys out of my class
That ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
She's sure fine looking she's something else
Look there, cross the street
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
Right now I can't afford the gas
Brand new convertible's out of my class
That ain't stopping me from thinking to myself
That car's fine looking and she's something else
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Well look here wait and see
Work hard and save my dough
I bought a car at the motor show
Me and that girl we go round and round
Look real sharp with the flat top down
Keep dreaming and thinking to myself
If it comes all true she's something else
Look here what's all this
Never gone through this before
Here I am knocking on the door
Car's out front, it's all mine
It's a '49 job not a '59
I got the girl and I'm thinking to myself
She's sure fine looking she's something else
All the world knows
yet none too well
to shun the heaven
that lead men to this hell
If all the stars
disappear and die
and I'm looking at an empty sky
oh I'll be damned
back behind the sun
this kind of love
can't be bought or won girl
And when every second counts
when the minutes
turn a night into a day
because the closer you get
the further you slip away
because the closer you get
the further you slip away
when the summer rain came
well it kissed our feet
and a magic moon lay down on our street
love and death
it's like war and peace
one single outreach
on this empty beach
cos you're damned if you do
and you're damned if you don't
want her to stay away hey
because the closer you get
the further you slip away
cos the closer you get
the further love slipped away,
slipped away
na na na na na na,
na na na na na na
slipping away,
slipping away
These plastic bags and
these crushed up cans
this twisted wreck
on some foreign land
better hold close
what you hold so dear
cos the vanishing point
is coming oh so near
All this world knows
yet none too well
to shun the heaven
that lead men to this hell
he closer you get
the further you slip away
cos the closer you get
the further love slipped away,
slipped away
he closer you get
the further you slip away
cos the closer you get
the further love slipped away,
slipped away
I am back in the circus
oh hustling days
I look at the world
in a rose coloured haze
Cramp tight bodies
jive and girate
Bump and grind to the rhythm of fate
And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
and the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
back in my world
Married a model
from old Hong Kong
Came to England
just a singing my song
This love in a letter
sure didn't last
Stamped her passport
never saw her arse
And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
and the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
back in my world
Solo
Unlucky in life,
unlucky in love
No special blessing from above
Fools and horses
come to my door
I am the stranger
who sleeps on the floor
we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
and the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
back in my world
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
and the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
back in my world
Baby
we're not looking for eternity
So smile now
while you're looking for this serenity
He dosses out here in doorways
Caught between wars
Tells us something is coming
won't reveal more
She shuffles up close beside him
And kisses his ear
I guess all our time is running,
Running on fear
And it goes around,
round, around again
Like a magic circle
till it comes to the end
Baby
we're not looking for eternity
So smile now
while you're looking for serenity
Out from the marble palaces
kings and queens Will rejoice
their importance of being
Their importance of choice
And as they swung Mussolini
like a chime in the breeze
The pope blessed his children
in a sea of sleaze
And it comes around,
round, around again
Like a magic circle
till it comes to the end
Baby
we're not looking for eternity
So smile now
while you're looking for serenity
Solo
And It still flowers
in springtime
Dogs howl at the moon
Now the funeral is leaving
to the general's own tune
All the rich and the famous
don't know who I am
The jokers and the jugglers
Even the prince of Siam
And it goes around,
round and round again
Like a magic circle
till it comes to the end
Baby
we're not looking for eternity
yeah, yeah
So smile now
while you're looking for serenity
oh yeah
Baby
a little faith or charity
So smile now
while you're looking for serenity
oh Baby
we're not looking for eternity
Hey,hey yeah
So smile now
while you're looking for eternity
Hey,hey yeah yeah
Baby
a little faith or charity
Junk food, radio, all the news and nowhere to go
tv guide and the late late show i stayed late, i didn't know
Hold on you got me coming like a shot now from a gun
I said hold on, i'm your hero, x rated #1
Tough boys, hot boyz, come on baby feel the noise
Tough guys rough guys no room for a compromise
Shifting metal, six string steel gonna move you like a (------)
Fire it up feel the pain i'm gonna hit you like a runaway train

Right between the eyes
Put your feet up maybe let the world pass by
Keep off the street, go away and wait to die
What you don't see is what life means to me
My woman says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
She don't get it
She ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit
Two clean shirts, I'm puffing on an old cigar
I still love women, sex and fancy cars
What you don't conceive is just what I believe
My doctor says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
He don't get it
he ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit
Is it nice and cozy, sitting there in your evening chair
Is your paper pressed like your string vest
It's enough to make you rip out your hair
Relations sit and wring their hands
How long will I survive
Here's the cherry, there's more spunk left
Kiss my arse, I'm still alive
You keep it nice and quiet boy, but please don't pacify me
I'm just not ready for the shade of an old oak tree
What you don't see is what life means to me
And my dad's an angry man, sometimes like Desperate Dan
And he gets it
And he's in it
He's pushed to the limit
My doctor says it ain't right
For a man my age to fight
He says put out the light
He don't get it
He ain't in it
I'm pushed to the limit
I take you walking out tonight
I'm looking good for you
What you see is what you get
You won't need a cue
Come on girl give it all you've got
Don't just stand and stare
Love, love, love, love
Love me if you really dare
* And you know that I'll come
I'll do it anywhere
In and out and up and down
As long as we get there
Push, it's love, make it feel so good
Push, it's love, do it like you should
I can't stop when you're so hot
Oh really let it go
It's standing up or sitting down
Come on let me know
Make it to the music
Love it like you don't care
Down, down, down, down
Get it right down there
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
When I get to rollin' now
Watch this trouser snake
Oh my baby hang on in
Keep on till you shake
When you dance, dressed way low
I'll be at your feet
You know, know, know, know
You're good enough to eat
* Repeat
My sweet darling night
How the city swings
A little kiss of angels
A little tune of things
And she mesmerizes,
captivates
A message for
a heart that aches
now you are 16
and your stuck in jail
18 plus
there's no sign of bail
And she mesmerizes,
captivates
A message for
a heart that aches
My thousand dollars
ain't going nowhere
And the revelations
kiss, tell, and dare
I've got a perfect view
of what I want to do
I've got a perfect view
am I getting through to you?
21 is easy,
but I don't know why
There's no difference
this bird will fly
My thousand dollars
ain't going nowhere
And the revelations
kiss, tell, and dare
I've got a perfect view
of what I want to do
I've got a perfect view
am I getting through to you?
Solo
And she mesmerizes,
captivates
A message for a
heart that aches
My sweet darling night
How the city swings
A little kiss of angels
A little tune of things
My thousand dollars
ain't going nowhere
And the revelations
kiss, tell, and dare
I've got a perfect view
of what I want to do
I've got a perfect view
am I getting through to you?
I've got a perfect view
of what I really want to do
I've got a perfect view
am I getting through to you?
Perfect view
I've got a perfect view
Vers. 1
Jeg ikk ned' med de der
hippietøser med hår under armene
der kommer brasende støjende og larmende
gennem gågaden, og tror de ejer det hele
med rulle tobak, og en bajer til at dele
jeg er ikke ned med sådan en lettere behåret krop
i burde tage en lussekur, sætte håret op
pop tøjet o', begynd at gå med top
købe et par høje hæle og tjek for en club
I ku' li' så godt gå i byen i nattøj
hvem fanden gider se jer ryst' røv i en striktrøj'
kom nu tag jer sammen,
hvorfor er i så stramme, synes i ikke selv i for klamme? (Hippie)
Det ikk fordi jeg nede med hovedet fuld af pudder
Men hvis jeg ska vælge i mellem skoen fuld af mudder
tænder jeg sku mest på en tøs i lårkort
o' hvis i synes det for grovt, så det op med håret
Chorus
O' til de krager, der render rundt i flowerpower(i ska)
o' til de skøger, det ikk' nok i bare forsøger(i må)
o' til de dåser, lær hvordan man poser(o' så det)
o' til de tøser, vi viser vores følelser(hvis i vil)
Vers. 2
Jeg ikk' nede med sådan en autonom tvær tøs
der rakker gennem byen nervøs, som en hund der er herreløs
sjosker rundt i milistøvler dagen lang,
en anden datter af dvævlen, totalt stram (Psyko)
render under øjnene, sikkerhedsnål i ørene
ikk' li' hva jeg forbinder med fræk og forførene
mer' hva jeg forbinder med en der forbander tit
men sådan er livet nu hvor man er trist satanist
søde pig' du ligner en der let gjorde sig bedre
hvis du smed de store kæder o' det sorte lædder
Hvis du lærte a' smile a' være glad
hvis du gad starte dagen med at snup dig et bad (psyko)
du har selv helt salt i såret, for længe
ingen grund til at pakke sig ind og la' håret hænge
ingen grund til ikk at stille sig i solen
få lidt farve på de blege ben o' luft sommerkjolen
Chorus
O' til de krager, der render rundt i flowerpower(i ska)
o' til de skøger, det ikk' nok i bare forsøger(i må)
o' til de dåser, lær hvordan man poser(o' så det)
o' til de tøser, vi viser vores følelser(hvis i vil)
Vers. 3
Yaw, jeg kan li' en tøs der gør noget ud af sig selv
en tøs med noget a' fortælle, der ikk kun lever på held
der snakker beskidt til mig øre, for at tirre
og stikker min en flad, når jeg ikke høre hva hun siger
jeg ka godt li piger, der gir det bat en smule brændsel
derfor behøver hun ikk a' lign' et fugleskræmsel
o' være ultra venstreorienteret,
sætter pris på en booty der er velsoineret,
og helst barberet,så man føler sig inviteret
med et smil på læben når hun går i gennem kvarteret
me' et glimt i øjet, o' me' ben i næsen
en der kender sin værdi så hun er rimelig kræsen
et godt bud hvis man ska ud o' find' sin brud
tjekker både for hva der er udenpå og indeni hovedet
der findes ingen metode, det er ikk så lige til
de fleste piger er lir, hvis de vælger a' vise det
Chorus
O' til de krager, der render rundt i flowerpower(i ska)
o' til de skøger, det ikk' nok i bare forsøger(i må)
o' til de dåser, lær hvordan man poser(o' så det)
o' til de tøser, vi viser vores følelser(hvis i vil)
One more for the rodeo, an old-school '60s team
A great new wide awakening spews out at the seams
Laid out cold on the table, a sheet pulled over his head
I turned around to the janitor, asked him just how long you'd been dead
And it's one more for the rodeo, one more for the show
One more pretender who just had to go
All the gods and gurus blowing from the east
So caught up in your principles it eats your mind like a disease
I wish I was invisible, hidden from the crowd
And this cold wind blows down the sidewalk and leaves me wondering how
And it's one more for the rodeo, one more for the show
One more pretender who just had to go
---instrumental---
One more for the rodeo, one more for the show, one more pretender, who just had to go
Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there
They were startin' to rock
High black fever runnin' everyplace
When the Greek kid pulled a knife
and pushed it in his face
Some girl makes it with a lover in the door...
As the ambulance pulls away,
she cries out more
* And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
You need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you ain't survive
On with the action
Mama's boy and teacher's pet...
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet
All the kids stand laughin'
They never had such fun
Then someone cuts a blind man who just can't make a run
And the queen who's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin'
with his bible in his hand
Was this God's children, he didn't understand
* Repeat
* Repeat
Oh my darling will you come to me
Shaking now just like a willow tree
So tell me what's the story
This track we'll ride to glory
Coming home
Pretty Karla and her Russian clothes
Clapboard house and a different nose
Love keeps a candle burning
These steel wheels are turning
Back for home
Come in out of the rain
Come out of the night
Out on the midnight train
Midnight train
Come out of the light
Come out of the rain
Riding the midnight train
Midnight train
Moscow lights, well they dim and glow
The taste is sweeter than its driven snow
So tell me what's the story
This track to ride to glory
Coming home
Come out of the rain, come out of the lights,
Out on the midnight train, midnight train
Come out of the lights, come out in the rain,
riding the midnight train, midnight train
(instrumental)
Oh my darling will you come to me
Shaking now just like a willow tree
Come out of the lights, come out in the rain,
Riding the midnight train, midnight train
Out of the rain, live again, riding the midnight train, midnight train
Come of the lights, into the rain, riding the midnight train, midnight train
One little strange, come back again
Early in the morning when the sun come up
I sat there drinking from your loving cup
Tell me pretty babe what can i do
Wanna drink from your loving cup
On the sunday morn you're acting funny
You should be working earning money
Slow down baby you move too fast
Wanna come and catch ya laying in the grass
(instrumental)
Early in the morning when the sun comes up
Hey babe ya, your loving cup yeah
Tell me pretty babe what can i do
Wanna drink from your loving cup
(instrumental)
Just wanna drink from your loving cup yeah
Just wanna drink from your loving cup yeah
I don't want to settle down
Stop my heart and turn around
Rebel nature, just got to be free
I'm in the right place, right place to be
Washers, dryers, dealers, and souls
Looking into the fire
Flat caps, whippets, lovers, and wives
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
A slave for a fool
I look out through love's back door
I escape but not any more
Revelation help me see
I'm in the wrong place, the wrong place to be
Washers dryers dealers and souls
Looking up to rise higher
Flat caps whippets lovers and wives
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for Jesus
Slave for a fool
Love is for worshipped
Love is a test
Love is a firebrand burnin'
A hole in her breast
Love is ...
(instrumental)
Washers dryers dealers and souls
Looking into the fire
Flat caps, whippets, lovers and wives,
Balanced out on the wire
And she said
Love is forever babe
Love is a tool
Servant for jesus
Slave for a fool
Love is for worship
Love is a test
Love is the firebrand burning
A hole in her breast
Love is a blossom
Love is a lie
She said be careful boy
This ain't no wild cherry pie
Im going to louisiana baby behind the stars
Im going to louisiana baby behind the stars
And though I just found out my troubles just begun
Im going to norleans get me a hold of your hand
Im going new orleans get me a hold your hand
Im gong to take you with me, right under my command
If the river was whiskey I would [drink all it up? ? ? ? ]
If the river was whiskey I would [drink all it up? ? ? ]
Just a bad situation
Got me low, feelin' down
I'm wonderin' why
Caught me unawares
No one knows and no one cares
They put you down no matter how you try
(1) Put the words together
Feelin' so strong
I can't last forever
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, no no
Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm
(2) Another night, it's a nervous shakedown
Lookin' for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
It's just another suicide
Just a cold realization, gotta go
I'm gonna turn and run away
Got me in a spin, I'm gonna lose and never win
They put you down no matter what you say
(1) Repeat
I can't hold on, no no
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(2) Repeat
[piano break]
Just a bad situation
I can feel it gettin' closer everyday
Say I'm out of line
[I'm takin' out of borrowed time]
What's the use of tryin' anyway
(1) Repeat
Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm
(2) Repeat
(3)Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide
Hey yeah yeah
Give up that booze
And take out the trash
Give up the night life
And stop smoking that hash
Give up the good sex
It's a heart attack
Surrender life
Wrap it up in a sack
All dressed up in the king's new clothes
Climbing up the monkey's nose
Standing out like a stiff on parade
You're overworked and underpaid
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run
Jello man, jello man
Blocking out the sun
Jello man, jello man
Beating on his drum
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run yeah
Stop all the traffic
Put this time on hold
Stop all the press
Cos it's been bought and sold
Stop the revolution
There's nothing left to fight
Will the last man standing
Turn out the light
Standing out with the freaks in the cold
Sucking down on a Virginia gold
The cabaret's all dressed for the kill
They'll stiff you now and give you the bill
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run
Jello man, jello man
Blocking out the sun
Jello man, jello man
Beating on his drum
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run yeah

Got you on the run
Jello man, jello man
Blocking out the sun
Jello man, jello man
Beating on his drum
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run yeah
Jeg har det ligesom ingen andre har, så fuck at forandre mig
Hvorfor det? fordi jeg tænker de tanker der tager mig langt herfra.
Mit sind er som en dranker der ik' ved hvor han stammer fra
En lam nar der stadig smiler når han rammer baren
Og Hey! jeg ved ik hvad der går igennem mine tanker
Når jeg står og gi'r den som en fuck'n R'n'B sanger
Det fordi jeg har lyst fordi jeg kan fordi jeg er The Man
Og fordi der er ingen der lyder sådan.
Omk:
Der er ingen som os, der formår at gøre deres ting som os
Der forstår at få et track til at svinge som os
'Dangerous' Der er ingen som os
Musikken pumper i min krop på overtid
Fniser viser hele verden mit overbid
Sorg og splid får lov at skride har overgivet
En pissetrist pessimist for en sjovere tid
Godt man ikke valgte den gale bane og kørte galt på mentalt plan
Og tog billetten fra sin altan
Ham den lille brede der aldrig passede ind i deres lokalplan
Rocker fra kælder til 6. sal Damn!
Der er ingen som os, der formår at gøre deres ting som os
Der forstår at få et track til at svinge som os
'Dangerous' Der er ingen som os
Yo jeg har hørt en lille fugl kvidre
Og den sang så smukt om alle de ting som bare måtte og skulle videre
Om at den og den ikke har så cool tider
Og at ham og hende har solgt ud under de gule sider
Jeg har set næbbet på en lille fugl hænge
Fordi den fløj og snakkede lort for en smule penge
Strøg med en halv vind og endte med at måtte bide i gaden
Jeg har set en lille fugl skide i reden
Så til de hiphop hoveder der ik ved hvad de skal sige
der træder til mit fjæs som om mit spil er forbi
der blændes af det lys som vi står og skinner i
FUCK jeres påtagede filosofi
Har været nede siden 'Arh der' og så videre til 'Arh Yeah'
og så videre til 'Hvor er du fra DER?
Jeg er stolt af at det ku' blive sådan her
For uanset hvor vi kommer siger de 'Præcis så'n der'
UFO YEPHA YO

Run down, low down, don't feel tired
Take no orders, don't get fired
I waste away cruisin' along
* fighting blizzards, ragin' storms
Hold the wheels tight, know I'm born to ramble on
Cruisin' along
But I stop, turn my head around
Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms
In my arms,
Highway lady, lorelei, dream the big time up above
Highway lady, high on her heels make you smile,
Forget how she feels
Found my way to spanish stairs
Small corruption, no one cares I taste a lie
Cruisin' along
* (second time) Hold myself tight, know I'm born to ramble on...repeat
* repeat
How she feels
I was 17 and I thought you were one in a million
I never dreamed anyone (would) ever take you away
And at 21 tied the knot with a holy union
But I never thought I’d live to regret that day
* you put a scar on my heart I can’t cover up and hide
I’m on the ropes in the corner with no fighter left inside
** under the heel of a stranger he holds you captive by his charms
I saw the signs but not the danger now he’s the hero in your arms
Every night you go out tell me it’s with a friend
You come back late know you’ve seen him again
And at 29 I realize the dreaming has to end
Although I’ve lost your love still the ghost remains
* repeat
** repeat
Oh yeah,
(instrumental break ) ** repeat 2.75 more times
Let's go -- while we're young!
Moving easy money, how far to the street
Close-in complications better keep your nose clean, better move my feet
Moves me like a winner I'm turning up the heat
I've gotta get me something I want to feel some friction, want to feel some heat
Keep your pretentions feel this beat
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now
Give me something but your good advice
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now, easy money
Sticky situations and a woman's revelations
I've gotta feel something, wanna feel some friction, wanna feel this heat
Keep your pretentions feel this beat
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now
I don't need nothing, your good advice
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now easy money
Look into my soul, and the night life of Amsterdam
Laid down in Stockholm, I'll always be your fan
Wind blows off the twilight, sunset in L.A.
The powers of the world, easy money's OK
Instrumental
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now
Give me something but your advice
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now
Give me something but your good advice
Easy money and a rolling dice now
Give ms something I won't think twice
Easy money I'm a rolling dice now,
Easy money easy money, hold on tight now
Easy money I'm a rolling dice
Give me money, easy money....

Take away your daughters, don´t stand in front of me
Take away your young boys, I know where I´m supposed to be
Don´t ask me to tell you about galactic love
I´m only your cosmic father, banished from above
I was having pipe dreams about congregation scenes
When I´m asked the minister beamed in on me
Don´t ask me to tell you about galactic love
I´m only your cosmic father, banished from above
Take away your daughters, don´t stand in front of me
Take away your young boys, I don´t know how I´m supposed to be
Don´t ask me to tell you about galactic love
(intro)
Fool's gold, sparkling like the midnight sun
Fool's gold, touch the ivory handles on my gun
(sold out to me?), Charlatans and thieves
(so wrong not to see?), Jokers and the priests?
Fool's gold, stranded on a (point gloss?) Sea
Fool's gold, nothing here and nothing to see
(sold out to me?), The weasels and the feared
(and it's so wrong not to see?), The ghosts of the disappeared
All gone away...
(instrumental)
Sometimes, when I'm touched by love, by hate, or by the grace of God
Sometimes, in the dark when hope is fading,
Or no longer flies,
I won't sympathize
Spend my time getting high
Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
Tired of living on my own, someone came and take me home
Sometimes, this jungle life is boring, pawing,
Ready for a feast, someone kill the beast
Outside, streets are teeming, breathing heavy,
Ready to explode, my brother's heavy load,
What you reap is what you sow
Someone came to rescue me
Lit up like a Christmas tree
Stranded here on my own
Someone came to take me home
(instrumental)
Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
When I'm out here on my own, someone came and took me home
Someone came to rescue me, lit up like a Christmas tree
Stranded here on my own, someone came and took me home
(instrumental fade out)
I got your number right off the wall
Bristol 285 wont you give me a call
Well I was 15 thought I was hot
I didn’t know if you’d see me or not
And that night as we stepped out
We were hand in hand
But my friends all seemed to know you
I couldn’t understand
That everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game
You seemed so shy so all alone-y
Without any hint of ever being phony
But then the little things that came to light
Like the strange hours you worked late at night
And as we laid in your bed that night
You made me feel like a king
Then as I looked into your eyes
I heard that telephone ring
And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
But nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
Oh no, they don’t want to know your game again
(instrumental)
And everybody knows, everybody knows, they know your name
Nobody wants, nobody wants, to play your game
And everybody knew, everybody knew, they knew your name
But nobody wants nobody wants to play your game
(instrumental to the end...)
Woke up on a Manchester morning
No sun up on the sky
Caught the train down to London
So broke I could make you cry
When you get right down to it
There's really nothing in it
I got a copy of the evening paper
If there's a job I will apply
The DHS says it's now or never
This is a case of do or die
When it comes right down to it
I've got to struggle through it
Put the lights way down low
Come closer
Tell me heroes don't fade away, they're forever
Just a little bit of something
Just a little bit of real
Tell me heroes don't fade away, become a memory
So come on darling now
I still need to know
Are we gonna fade away or stay forever
Took a walk down to Soho
I've got T.V. on my mind
It says these days you have it easy
Oh Lord, I must be blind
When it comes right down to it
I can see right on through it
I really love my old lady
Much more grief she can't take
Wish I could take her somewhere fancy
I still need that lucky break
When it comes right down to it
There's really nothing in it
Repeat **
And I'm dreaming of summer
Of just me and you now
But a love with no money
How long will it ring true
One big city smells like another
I get lost in this maze
When I get home should I lie
The bottle's gone I'm in a daze
When it comes right down to it
I've got to struggle through it
Things look bleak out of this window
Sometimes I wanna run away
And the light fades down this tunnel
It merges into another day
Repeat *
* In a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
High geared razzle dazzle, recession is the trouble
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
Thirty hours on the floor and twenty partners left
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
Feel so tired it must be a week
Nearly on my knees
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
California, you always seem to have the sun
But I never really got near to it
And you try your hand at anything you know
Just to try and earn a dollar

---?? (can't figure out the first line)
Rolling in pain, wish I was a babe, I'll be again
I'll be a good boy I wish I could
Lord please have mercy misunderstood
Cold turkey has got me on the run
Sent me to the right man, fever is high,
Wish I was a babe, I'd kiss the sky,
I'll be a good boy, I wish I could,
Lord please have mercy, misunderstood
Cold turkey, has got me on the run on the run babe, on the run
(relentless duet)
??? Writhing, fever is high,
Wish I was a baby, wish I could die
I'd be a good boy, I wish I could,
Lord please have mercy, misunderstood
Cold turkey has got me . . . On the run
Jack of Diamonds is a gambling man
He played the tables whenever he can
Take some advice boy stay clean stay out of his way
Little Jeannie is a dancing queen
She's been shaking it since she was sixteen
Skips across the tables acting out her passion play
* It wasn't for money, it's only a chance
You take a gamble, got shot for romance
Chains, chains pulling you down
Chain of life that turns the world around
Chains chains pulling you down
Chain of life that turns the world around
Without a warning Jeannie took off one night
Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight
He died on the floor someone else evens the score
Back on the tables Jeannie's romance had died
That one look of love had told her a lie
And for her there's no waves crashing on seashores
* Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
Chains chains...chains chains...

I'm every man here in disguise
Lie cheat and give you a spoonful of lies
I'm a high toned mother with an axe to grind
Come a little closer honey, see what you find
Your worst nightmares all rolled in one
I'll find you sure as the rising sun
Don't make a noise it's understood
'Cos this ain't no story like red riding hood
I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man oh yeah
I'm your back door man, come on babe, And I'll take you where I can
Systematically I choose at will

It's funny now how you can't say no
It's the smell of fear that you love so
I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man, oh yeah,
I'm your back door man baby, Just take it where you can
This first kiss has a touch of ice
Now how's that feel, it ain't so nice
Blackhearted mamma I've something new
Oh Lord look what I've turned into

I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man

But now I see, you don’t hear a thing
Tried to make you see how it’s gotta be
Well it’s allright

Things could work out just like I want them to, yeah

Kick out the cat / turn back the clock
Ain't life sweet baby look what I got

Oh babe now they took the car
I skipped the bills yeah
And I've been drinking at the bar
Ain't life a treat, it ain't so sweet
When you're down on down / down on down
The bank's foreclosing
And there's a foot inside my door
The telephone's not ringing
And I can't take it anymore

Ain't life a treat it ain't so sweet
When you're down on down / going down
I'm just bad luck looks like I got stuck
Down on down / down on down
I took it to the limit, now I'm really in it
Going down / right on down
Just like the I.R.S. oh, more is less
Imagination's running wild
I'm a man, not a child
Can't seem to make something of my life
Here I go again, down, down, down
So you want to be someone
But my love, you just don't know
I'm chasing, but some man's making
It's just bringing me down, no no no
I'm chasing, some man's making
It's just bringing me down
In conversations, about who you are
The way you talk, boy, you're the star
Can't seem to make something of my life
Here I go again, down, down, down,
So you want to be someone
But my love, it just don't run
I'm chasing, some man's making
It's just bringing me down, no no no
I'm chasing, some man's making
It's just bringing me down

There's a heartbeat in the city
Caught in the rush there's no pity
On the edge of day
Late night traffic, late to go home
Im slippin out into the twilight zone
Im on the edge of day
* in a stolen moment two lovers meet
Whisperin promises they can't keep
Across the bar jukebox plays
Out in the night they steal away
** out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Each and every step I take
Out on the meanstreets, feel my heartbeat
Its in every move I make
With all the heat now, and all the stories
Heroes wrestle for the chance of glory
On the edge of day
Midnight cowboys make the sweep
There's nothing sacred on the street
Were on the edge again
* repeat
** repeat
When the lights go down you know life comes easy
Its easy baby
In the wild west end you can find
A friend tonight
Oh tonight
Got to keep this heart. inspired
[instrumental]
* repeat
The horror of a mad dog
Is chilling my blood in my brains
The lights disappearing
The cloud getting pregnant with rain
There's a rumor going round that
The master of darkness will come
They say he'll come from the sky
And there's nothing we can do
There'll be no place to hide
He's coming for me- he's coming for you!
Somewhere in time
Where creatures of the night never sleep
Lying and waiting, growing stronger
Planning our final defeat
They say he'll come from the sky...
Mean Machine
Comes from the sky
Stake your claims if you want to survive

Comes from the sky
Don't try to run if you don't want to die

Comes from the sky
Stake your claims if you want to survive

I heard you tiptoe in last night
Cross the porch stars were bright
Past my room and into yours
Sliding locks and chaining doors
* you'll get love
My kind of love
(youll get love) / (Ill give you love)
The love you give to me (yeah)
I see the men that come and go
Through a hole that doesnt't't show
Every day we pass in the hall
Im like a picture on the wall
* repeat
[instrumental]
I hear your giggles and little sighs
Close my eyes and fantasize
But as you're sleeping a room away
Baby you know that there's no choice
Im tired of hearing my own voice
We can't live on love alone
To find some work I'll have to leave our home
And I know that things look desperate now
But stand by me well get through somehow
* ooh when you touch me it all fades away
Ooh when you hold me I'll make it through another day
Winters here and it's looking bleak
The snow is falling as we speak
And can we cut back a little more
Something will turn up Im really sure
So please darlin keep your faith in me
Ill make it good you wait and see
* repeat
Its so special, oh so special
Cos there's always you and me
And we stand alone with our love
So strong, bold and free
Its so special, oh so special
You can't take that away
There's a bond that holds us together
Itll always stay
[instrumental]
Though Im getting stronger every day
Situations change, I hope and pray
Im not a man whos afraid to fight
With you beside me I'll see the light
Well be together, Im sure it's meant to be
A friend and lover my only loyalty
Kid's gettin' tired, hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in, can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop me at the start only for a while
Hole in my pocket, hole in my arm
All that's left when life's lost it's charm
This could be for us just any other day
Come on girl, we've really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever have to change
Stickin' in this city will drive you insane
Kid's gettin' tired, hangin' around
So cocksure, thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in, can't get out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt
Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now 'til next year it'll always be the same
The black back streets and people
Who don't know your name
Darkness- and yet another day slips away
So lonely- life's just like an empty room
Where is the answer, when our love was so sweet
I wish I could hold you tonight
But we only came close in my dreams
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Some broken hearts
They'd die for that answer
To try to get back, back to the past to break free
Tell me how can I find your sunshine again
Truth is well- you know that better than me
I wish I could hold you tonight
But we only came close in my dreams
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Some broken hearts
They'd die for that answer
To try to get back, back to the past to break free,
Sweet little child
Give me your answer
Some broken hearts
They'd die for that answer
To try to get back, back to the past to break free
SOLO
You know some broken hearts, would die for that answer
Sweet little child
Lost myself in a distant starry storm
trying to find my way down
Somebody shut child a door in my head
had to turn around
But I gotta little time to set by
Gotta let my feelings all shine
You know that it will be all right
I gotta get your love for just mine
Found a starry storm it held me close,
Tryin' to find my way home
Took a distant walk in a starry mile
Had to turn and smile
But I gotta little time to let my
Gotta let my feelings all fly
You know that it will be all right
Gotta get your love for just mine
Hold on fast gonna catch a shooting star
Gotta find me a way
Get from this starry storm today
Never leave this place
But I gotta little time to let fly
Gotta let my feelings oh shine
You know that it will be all right
Gotta get your loving just right
instrumental
Found a starry storm held me close
Take me back today
All I want to do is fly away
Really couldn't say
But I gotta little time to set by
Gotta let my feelings all shine
You know that it will be all right
Gotta get your loving just right
Lost myself by heaven's chance
Trying to find a way down
Took a distance walk in a starry mile
Had to turn and smile
But I gotta little time to let fly
Gotta let my feelings oh shine
You know that it will be oh right

This morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land
Lying there all still lying there upon the sand
A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground
And being the kind of person who isn´t very easily alarmed
Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find
Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door
Knocking on a window to see if I could find out more
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high fly me high, away
All of a sudden the door slid back and someone was there
A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue
"Step inside, we´ll take you away in our plane
To leave this earth, never you will rule to complain"
Stepping inside I fixed myself into a seat
Holding on, Lord, I heard them engines start to beat
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
From liner notes
I've worked so hard, like Hyde on the chaos theory
I've found my madness quite complete
No sign of light or love divine intervention
While I was scoring on your street
I am the demon of your darkest thoughts
Wired to self destruct
A greedy, nasty, selfish little man
Who could never have or get too much
But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost
But everythings light on a Sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon
Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can
Out of the darkness and into the light
See the army grow and grow
And like a storm, a reign of terror
This ill wind will blow and blow
Repeat (1)
I'll take great pride and pleasure in your misery
And delight in your living hell
There's no known act of human kindnes left
My very mother I would sell
I'm not uncouthed, but educated
Now isn't that a scary thing
And elected to a place of power
Your slavery will be my sting
Repeat (1)
Repeat (2)
Say sayonara darling
This time goodbye
No bon voyage,
It's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
From the high plains
To the border
All across the land
From the flying of the flag
To lovers kissing hands
You can cover me in roses
Put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
No more goodbyes
Sea of faith
Where did she go
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow
A street full of whispers,
Rings like a chinese gong
A room full of would be's
Whose lives have gone wrong
The blues don't exist now
Just to cleanse your soul
They were made to wake you up
Not to dig a hole
You can cover me in roses,
Put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
No more goodbyes
Sea of faith
Where did she go
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow

Say sayonara darling
This time goodbye
No bon voyage,
It's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck
It's something of a tragedy
It would make you weep
When you kiss your love goodnight
Now I see why lovers leap
You can cover me in roses,
Put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
No more goodbyes
Sea of faith
Where did she go
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
The river flow
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
The river flow
Little diamonds
Love lies bleeding, from the east now to the west
I'm waiting to put your loving to the test
(1) I need to know, I need to give
I need to feel to breathe and live
I'm cutting loose and I'm breaking out
I'm goin' to leave you baby in no doubt 'cause
(2) This will be my own revolution
With a burning flag held high
I will make my own constitution
Till the day I die
Sensations in every move that you ever make
Revelations what you now give you can't take
(1) Repeat
(2) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
If hell is to give I'm wondering what I'm going to do
And I just couldn't see, oh and how
My feelings run hot and I just couldn't stop now

I see the raven's eyes,
And I see the lights
I saw the gold rush
San Francisco nights

I met Genghis Khan
Drank with Napoleon,
Held Nelson in my arms

Partied with Nero
As Rome burned and fell

Rattlesnakes heads

Without a face
I saw sunrise
From Enola Gay
Sat down with Ghandi
And started to pray

Hey babe what we gonna do
No look behind me glances
Straight time this time
Well take our chances
Darling it's been so long
Every lonely hour
What the sinner pulls the trigger
And the world turns sour
*whisper in the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
Whisper on the wind
Locked in silence
Profession of violence
Try to pick up the pieces
Maybe move away
But the lifer
Was only yesterday
Down the halls of justice
The echoes never fade
Notches on my gun
Another debt is paid

Catch a falling star put it in your pocket
Take hold of the moonbeams, hang them around your neck
Prince Kajuku´s coming feathers in his hair
Tapping on his juju stick, take you down there
Prince Kajuku holds you never let´s you go
Feel his power around you when your weakness shows
Take a starry circle hold it in your hand
Never let Kajuku take [guide] you to his land
Catch a falling star put it in your pocket
Take hold of the moonbeams hang them around your neck
Kajuku, Kajuku, walking down the street
She's been around, knows how to make you think
You're in a world of innocence
She'll make you moan- make you moan and groan
Then spit you out and eat your bones
She sits around and thinks about those lies
It really makes her wonder
Chasing history- her world of ecstasy
A life of rape and plunder
Welcome to the rooms of your desire
Painted Love- Painted Love
Take a ride and explore inside
Painted Love- Painted Love
She knows how to make you scream and shout
You know she loves to get it out
The fascination of a fuckin' lie
It's just a case of do or die
She sits around and thinks...

I came out of the fifties

Always couping hens

Some call a dying breed

Love don't fit in a can
When you're talking Elvis,
Well I saw him yesterday
He touched me on the shoulder
Asked me if he could play
I buttered up my ducktail,
Put on my long black drape
I polished up my Boneville
To make those girlies gape

If you ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now d o it again

Kicking out just like a hurrican3
We can't wait from day to day
Cuz we've got something to say

Love me tender, love me true
Oooh baby what a song could do
We were sharp like needles in the dark, no question mark
My friend billy was one of a kind
Growin up and runnin wild
We could take a sunset and make it real
We stood together on the edge of a knife
[fools? ] to be friends, brothers for life
* and we have seen the night run, it's a thousand miles away
Yes we have seen the night run, it passed us by in just one day
Used to say well it's me and you
Oooh we could make dreams come true
And we put some magic in this night, oh feels so right
Came across your photograph
Everything was just a laugh
Where do you go when you reach the end
Into the night we would explode
With hand on my heart, rules of the road
* repeat twice
[instrumental]
Big city lights they fade then they go
[along with your sense of humor, no..]
Some people give up and lose the fight
We could prove it night after night after...
Living in a one-room
If I don't fall in love soon
Hangin on the telephone
If I don't get your call soon
* every night I spend alone
Ive never been so low
And this room is closing in
If I die, who will know
** in the name of love
Is there someone left for me
In the name of love
Set this heart free
Dreaming of a playmate
If I don't fall in love soon
Strangers on a dark night
But it's all over too soon
* repeat
** repeat twice
Hey now
This year I've been feeling kinda weary
Oh, next year I may not come back at all
Sometimes I hear the angels singing
Or I can hear my mother's call
Give me a cadillac for a carriage
And you'll hear my name
Whispering through the trees
You can call me Mr. Black
You can call me Mr. Grey
Or you can call me simply,
Call me Mr. Freeze
And tonight I'm feeling kinda beautiful
Tonight I'm feeling kinda warm
And there's a touch of humour
In everything I see
Oh there's a touch of scorn
Give me a Mercedes for my baggage
And hear my name on the breeze
You can all me Mr. Black
You can all me Mr. Green
Or you can call me simply,
Call me Mr. Freeze
If you please. Mr. Freeze
Solo
Give me a cadillac for a carriage
And you'll hear my name
Whispering through the trees

And hear my name on the breeze
You can all me Mr. Black
You can all me Mr. Green

Call me Mr. Freeze
The smoothest (???) in (???)
The mission boys all cross their palms
Don't you know who I am
I guess you miss the lights? Huh!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Little Caesar is prince of the city
In this town there's no pity
This man stands alone
I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
Sometimes when you're all alone
and the blue turns to gray
Better get down on those pinky knees,
and you start to pray
I guess you miss the lights - ha!
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Kiss-kissing your name
(instrumental)
A glimmering ?, A twilight star
And so much love for show,
A returning wave from the gallery bar
And share the afterglow
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name
I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss the fame, haha!
I guess you miss everybody
Hanging onto your name

I guess you miss the lights
I guess you miss everybody
A greyhound bus weaves its way across town
I'm sitting here thinking
Never thought I could be brought down
And low yes I'm sinking
(1) Bet on a wild one, I got stitched
Caught up in a fight
I was dreaming, dreaming, oh I saw you last night
(I got a) 4 by 8 on Riker's Yard
8 to 15 I'm doin' hard
For you and your lover
Shot through the head
Air conditioning lead
The honeymoon was over
With the telephone bill
Yes you've been tumbled
With your fingers in the till
The Chelsea Hotel with a private line
Now it's payback time
(2) Sha la la la I can't let you go
It's not over till it's over, no
Sha la la la I can't set you free
Oh no can't let go
'Cause I put you right above
Love deadly love
Love deadly love
Through the shadows of my backyard
Now brother I'm leaving a calling card
This mission tonight
Feels so right Mr. D.O.A.
Some they can take it and some lie down
Some just wear that thorny crown
Like a halo round the head
Oh now you're better off dead
(2) Repeat
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(2) Repeat
There's a visit and one phone call
And sometimes a stroll
If I'm straight in five years
Maybe remission or parole
(1) Repeat
Five card stud that's your game
I'll cut stack and lose it's all the same
You could never say no never say no no no no
Love deadly love, love deadly love
Love deadly love, love deadly love
Welcome hello, please take your seat
We leave now for a trip- in hell
Now we can start especially for you- join us now!
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces
Crawling off the stage
Forgotten heroes lost their passion, many years ago
Time after time in your life
You're burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost Passion
Now you can see, you can see what it means
To come to a world of lies, all such lies
Think about your destiny- the love you found
Was it just a dream, just a dream
Shattered dreams, in shattered faces...
Time after time in your life
You're burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost Passion- Lost Passion
Time after time in your life
You're burning your world of illusions
Tearing your conscience apart
Lost Passion- Lost Passion- Lost Passion
SOLO
Just a kid with a crazy dream wants it all before he's seventeen
Don't know where to begin
With a wild thought he knows the fact, no no there's no looking back
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Some people make it and others don't try, they seem happy to live out a lie
I'm right here on my own
Me I'm a gambler and I pay for my sins, I've been right there and I'm back again
Just gotta stand up and make it real
How does it feel to be right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
Let's get away right out of here, it's not soon enough for me
Breaks of a lifetime it's there like a lifeline, reach out and grab it it's free
-- (short instrumental)--
How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
-- (another short instrumental) --
How does it feel right out on your own
Just gotta keep looking out for #1
How does it feel...to be out on your own... just gotta
how does it feel to be out on your own, just gotta keep lookin' out for #1
How does it feel to be out etc.
Skulking in the mean streets whispering in the halls
Redlight bandits on the corner give no quarter calls
Infectious garbage fills the streets and in their eyes you know
A thin blue line bends and breaks stop the overflow
(1) Fan the flames of the city's heat
In dark corners hiding never seen
Desperation and the trouble flares
Alarm guns ring running scared
And you're long gone, down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
So baby won't you hold me tight
Let your softness fill my night
We've got a dream don't let it slip away
'In your eyes I can see the fear
This town never sheds a tear
We're gonna be /out someday/walking away
Keep on looking for a holy one,
Some kind of hero or a prophet to come
Visionaries dance your night away
There's no tomorrow living for today
But you're long gone down in this hell
Long gone down in this hell
[Instrumental]
I saw the stars come out tonight so lonely and immune
Summer rain kissed the streets that bleed like open wounds
Patrol cars sweep the avenues down on Forty Eighth
While faces in dark doorways wait around the hate
(1) Repeat
(2) Baby better walk away
Baby better walk away
We'll be busting out someday
Sarah has her dreams and makes her plans
To get what she wants when she can
A little bit of heaven was all she asked for
In the silent moments deep in the night
She'd find herself make it feel all right
Hungers for the bright light and something more
With her young heart so gently beating
A secret rendezvous love was meeting
Out in the night, out in the night night night night
Played on the radio, heard on the news
Baby's gone lost they found her shoes
You can turn out the light
You better turn out the light
(1) You go walking on the wild side
Learn how to run 'cause you can't hide
Better steel yourself away
Another page, another day
In your lonely heart
Beating out in the dark
Lonely heart
And beneath the lights the rock 'n' roll band
Electric guitars, one night stands
Are you giving away, giving away
With hungry and oh so desperate eyes
The souls who get hurt believe in their lies
You only betray only betray
[INSTRUMENTAL]
And now you cry yourself to sleep
Against the odds you wanted to beat
You never say no, never say no no no no
Left with the promises that you swore
The price you pay is the love you tore
Now where did it go, where did it go
As the midnight fades in boys town
And the hustle stops to glow
This urban landscape sprawls before me
And the hunger starts to grow
But something more than my daddy showed to me
How he wanted to make a man of me
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
Hiding in the shadows and searching in the dark
My mama reads me like an open book
She knows when I'm up or down
But every night I stay longer
In the creole part of town
Something more than what the good lord gave to me
Something more, much more than this
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
Hiding in the shadows, searching in the dark
And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
(instrumental)
I can take a little pain, but not tonight again
Outside my hotel window I hear the Mardi Gras
Keep the candle burning bright Babe, i've come too far
As daylight creeps through the curtains I start to slip away,
And everything that seems so certain is just another day
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
Hiding in the shadows searching in the dark
And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
Hiding in the shadows searching in the dark
And it never stops, no it never stops, no one defends you now
Living in the lonely cities of the heart
There's a heart flight of a neon moon
In the darkness of this shuttered room
Watch out
Easy for some action holy satisfaction ooh
Midnight makes a call skin begins to crawl
Inside the heights upon the fantasies
Let me introduce you now
I'm gonna let you see the other side of me
There's a hunger in the night moves me completely
Hunger in the night bleeds so sweetly
(it's) a hunger in the night moves me completely
The hunger in the night bleeds so sweetly
Through the shadows you won't hear a thing
Cloaked in darkness my love's a deadly sting
Watch out
Comes in through the fence, sliding in the shiv
Want to be a hero situation's zero
Inside the heights upon the fantasies
Let me introduce you now i'm gonna let you see the other side of me
Chorus
As i lie me down to sleep, with the lord my soul to keep
If i die before i wake, will the lord my soul to take
This life has no distance, between the line and another day
Instrumental
The hunger in the night moves me completely
Hunger in the night, bleeds so sweetly
Hunger in the night, damned if you see me
As midnight draws its steely shades
And the Boystown girls go on parade
My tatoo she's a kiss away
In the Creole town it's another day
Tears of rage and tears of pain
We're two lovers called 'em different ways
No redemption no remorse
But this love drives a deadly course
(1) I can't wait for you
Heaven's gate won't wait
I can't wait for you
'Cause heaven's gate won't wait
So hold me close, don't let go
With one last kiss, we'll never know
What should have, could have, might have been
We're just chasin' one more dream
I can hear the Mardi Gras
From my hotel window it seems to far
As daylight creeps through the shades
I can see the price we paid
(1) Repeat
Well here's the good news
And here's the bad
It could hurt you darling
It could make you happy or sad
Ooh here she comes now!
It was a radio
Playing on the running board
With a Hey someone singing
My Sweet Lord
She was calling now
Come on in, let's get free
Where we go doesn't matter
If you just love me
Cos falling down,
Time after time
Falling into the sea
Standing up's tough enough,
Tough enough for me
Give it up, give it up
It's raining stones
Give it up darling, rattling bones
Give it up, give it up
It's called fate
Give it up darling
Lift off this weight
I've laid down in the gutter
Looking up at the stars
Washed by the rain
And these passing cars
I wanna feel something
And it's called happy again
I'm gonna leave this town,
Change my name
Won't be back again
Cos falling down,
Time after time
Falling into the sea
Cos standing up's tough enough,
Tough enough for me
Give it up, give it up
It's raining stones
Give it up darling, rattling bones
Give it up, give it up
It's called fate
Give it up darling
Lift off this weight
Solo
Give it up, give it up
It's raining stones
Give it up darling, rattling bones

Give it up darling, rattling bones
Give it up, give it up
Don't let go
Give it up darling
Hearts of darkness
Falling down,
It's raining stones
Fate is driving
Now theres no meat
On the bone
There's a hurricane coming,
What a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming,
Coming over the hill
She took everything,
Got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man
Cold Wild Turkey
Drives a spike right through my brain
Bar room mothers
Waiting for the gravy train
It's a cold wind a blowing,
Gone out of control
Time is a running,
Touching my very soul
She took everything,
Got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man
[Solo]
Ashes to ashes
Trash is still trash
It's only a moment now
And we're gone in a flash
Silver lining
Where's the man
With the master plan
Hearts of darkness
Spreading out
All across this land
There's a hurricane a'coming,
What a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming,
Coming over the hill
She took everything,
Got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man
She took everything,
Got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man
Just a common man
I guess that we've been here before
I still have my feet on the floor
This long evening's cold and bare
Don't we look just a funny pair
And you pull a spell on my heart honey
And there's nothing I can do about it
Cos I love you
Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die
If I don't come through it honey
Just let it go right
Our shadows dancing across the floor
I never wished for, never wanted more
Your diamond smiles and long black hair
You're much more baby than I ever dared
And if this whole world goes crazy darlin'
There's so much in my heart
And I'll love you today babe
Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
Did we do it darlin' till the day we die
Holding on
Holding on now
Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die
I guess that we've been here before
Mama they say the snow this winter
Beat you to the ground
But Im a long time gone, long time gone
Wish I could see the blazin sunset
Falling right into the bay
But Im a long time gone, long time gone
* to dream the dream that's over
To live and love again
Oh my america
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonight
I want to be there on our back porch
Looking on down the road
But Im a long time gone, long time gone
The troubles here, they pass me by
I want to get home to you
But Im a long time gone, long time gone
* repeat
Lonely days, lonely nights
Caught up in someone elses fight
Im holdin on, and you're so strong
All I want to be is just holdin you tonight
[instrumental]
Bad boys on the run tonight
There's streaming energy
The future holds retreat or victory
Strollin' through the neon light
You get no charity
Looking for a fight- out on the run
They're never gonna win
Unless the system is to burn
They're tearing our world apart
Because, they never wanna learn
Dirty boys always on the run
Until six o'clock in the morning
Dirty boys always having fun
Never get them out of my mind
Windows closed and doorways shut
There's trouble in the streets
Another girl gets crazy from the heat
Heavy current loads the air
Headgames all around
Tidal waves of lust and moaning sounds
There never gonna win...
Dirty boys always on the run
Until six o'clock in the morning
Dirty boys always having fun
Never get them out of my mind
Dirty boys always on the run
Never get them out of my mind
SOLO
They're tearing our world apart
Because they never wanna learn
Bad boys on the run tonight
Burning up the streets
The future holds retreat or victory
Heavy current loads the air- you get no charity
They're looking for a fight, this ain't no place to be
Je jure sur la tête de ma mère
Que je n'avais pas bu
La moitié d'une bière
Et pas fumé non plus.
J'étais tout à fait clair,
J'allais bien dans ma peau,
J'étais bien dans ma tête,
J'écoutais la radio.
J'écoutais les infos,
J'écoutais la radio.
Soudain, Monsieur le commissaire,
J'ai vu comme un éclair
Déchirant le brouillard.
C'était un oiseau bizarre
Qu'était pas un oiseau,
Qu'était pas un avion.
Sur ma dépositon,
N'était ni vrai ni rond
Mais oui j'allais très bien,
Très très bien, très très bien.
Je roulais à cent-vingt
A cent-vingt, à cent-vingt.
J'écoutais la radio,
La radio, la radio.
L'engin m'a dépassé
Dans un bruit de tonnerre
Et puis s'est arrêté
Suspendu dans les airs.
Alors j'ai entendu
Une voix extraordinaire
Me dire : 'Ne craignez rien :
Nous ne voulons pas la guerre.
Nous sommes des Terriens
De la planète Terre.
Nous sommes des amis
Qui vous voulons du bien.'
Docteur, docteur, docteur, docteur,
Internez-moi ce Martien !
Je jure sur la tête de ma mère
Que je n'avais pas bu
La moitié d'une bière
Et pas fumé non plus.
J'étais tout à fait clair,
J'allais bien dans ma peau,
J'étais bien dans ma tête,
Je roulais à 120.
Mais oui, j'allais très bien.
Lord I don't know which way I am going
Which way the river gonna flow
It's just seems that upstream, I keep rowing
Still got such a long way to go
Still got such a long way to go
Then that light, hits your eye
I know, I swear,
We'll find somewhere the streets are made with gold
Bullets fly, split the sky
But that's all right, sometimes sunlight comes streaming through the holes
Oooohhh ooooohh
Oooohhh ooooohh
Oooohhh ooooohh
He's an unidentified flying object
you will see Him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
you will drop your hands and stare
you will be afraid to tell your neighbors
they might think that it's not true
but when they open up the morning papers
they will know they've seen Him too
He will come back like He promised
with the price already paid
He will gather up His followers
and take them all away
He's an unidentified flying object
He will sweep down from the sky
He's an unidentified flying object
some will sleep but will not die
He's an unidentified flying object
coming back to take you home
He's an unidentifed flying object
He will roll away your stone
and if there's life on other planets
then i'm sure that He must know
and He's been there once already
and has died to save their souls
He's an unidentified flying object
you will see Him in the air
He's an unidentified flying object
you will drop your hands and stare
He's an unidentified flying object
coming back to take you Home
He's an unidentifed flying object

Fore me to follow
Your candy covered lies
I choke on patience
Light in the dark gray skies
One far and away
Until we return
Life won't get in front of you
The fire burns the nighttime
The juice that melts your bain
Solidarity among chaos
Stand united in the remains
I can't believe it's true
I can't believe it's you
The compassion isn't easy
When someone needs your empathy
In hope's someday that you will realize
It was late one night, a little while ago
I had nothin' to drink, I don't think
Okay well, maybe a glass of wine
But nothin' that would loosen my mind
To the point of seein', what I?m seein' in the sky
Woah, an alien bein'
My mind can't make sense of what I?m seein'
It's beginning to take control
So, I better watch out for the anal probe
We got
U.F.O, hello
U.F.O, hello
U.F.O, hello
U.F.O, hello
They come in peace, we stay in war
We like to get drunk and fight each other in bars
And all I?m tryin' to say is if you were to look
From the outside lookin' in, where would you begin?
U.F.O, hello
U.F.O, hello
U.F.O, hello
U.F.O, hello
And I, when I look into the sky
And I see a strange light
Everythin? is alright
Everythin? is alright
I, when I look into the sky
And I see a strange light
Everythin? is alright
Everythin? is alright
U.F.O, if you wanna take the time to say hello
I've been waitin' in a field to say
U.F.O, if you wanna take the time to say hello
I've been waitin' in line
U.F.O, if you wanna take the time to say hello
I've been waitin' in a field to say
U.F.O, if you wanna take the time to say hello
I've been waitin' in line
U.F.O, if you wanna take the time to say hello
I've been waitin' in a field to say
U.F.O, if you wanna take the time to say hello

How, how many times have I woken up from a car crash
Without knowing who I am
How, how many times have I lost something so precious
That nothing makes sense again
Tell me life’s not like this, one short icy, nightmare
ghost kiss
Me and my therapist clutching at straws
I don’t think you got me right
No I don’t think you’ve got my type
In your computer program
I don’t think you understand
What it means to play me man
There’s no program that can read my soul
Don’t you know
How, how many times have I got lost in the darkness
With nothing but a flashlight
How, how many times have I run screaming from monsters
That I just couldn’t fight
Tell me life’s not like this, in the clutches of a
ghoul’s fist
In love with my therapist I’m clutching at straws
I don’t think you got me right
No I don’t think you’ve got my type
In your computer program
I don’t think you understand
What it means to play me man
There’s no program that can read my soul
Don’t you know
Let me tell you a story
It's not all it's cracked up to be
About a UFO in a dream
I only hear my own voices
I don't have many choices
Like a dog in a parking lot
Like a dog
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
Completely covered in blankets
Don't really know what to wish for
Just look at the sky and be thankful
Feels like my back might be bleeding
And are my hands really here
Look back at the ground and be hopeful
Look back at the ground
My body feels long
And my legs are as smooth as candy
I'm as liquid as the sea
A place for you and me
Let me tell you a story
It's not all it's cracked up to be
And i've got UFOs in my dreams
I think I've seen your silhouette
Up in the stars
I think I've got an autograph
Penned on my heart
I think I've yet to understand
Who you are
Lookin' for the answers
but can't see for the dark.
And they call it a halo
They call it what they want
And they call it a savior but I don't know what it was
I think I've found your residence
Over the clouds
I think I'm plenty confident
To say it aloud
I'm sorry for the wrong I've done
Don't mean you to frown
I'm lookin' for the answers
But there's none to be found
And they call it a halo
They call it what they want
And they call it a savior but I don't know what it was
And they call it a halo
they call it what they want
And they call it a savior but I don't know what it was
And I lift up my eyes to the one who shines the most
And I lift up my eyes to the one who shines
And I lift up my eyes to the one who shines the most
Entering the atmosphere darkness into light
Destination planet earth chariots in flight
Who they are what they are nobody knows
Beings from another world speculation grows
UFO condition red, UFO is this the end?
UFO condition red, UFO is this the end?
Fire raging everywhere no help in sight
Praying to the lord our God won't help tonight
People screaming as another attack unfolds
Countries crashing to the ground prophets foretold
UFO condition red, UFO is this the end?
UFO condition red, UFO is this the end?
Beacons blazing sirens raging into the night
No one has a hope in hell a chance to fight
No emotion, love, devotion do they behold
Now the world we've left's deserted, freezing and cold
UFO condition red, UFO is this the end?
