Woke up this morning
My dog was dead
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head
I woke up this morning
And my cat had died
I¡¯m gonna miss her
Sat down and cried
Came home this evening
My hog was gone
The people here don¡¯t like me
I think I¡¯ll soon move on
And now somethin¡¯s happened
That would make a saint frown
I turned my back and
My house burned down
Woke up this morning
My dog was dead
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head
I woke up this morning
And my cat had died
Don¡¯t you know I¡¯m gonna miss her
Have you seen that vigilante man
Have you seen that vigilante man
Have you seen that vigilante man
Ive been hearin his name all over this land
Lonely nights down in the engine house
Sleepin just as still as a mouse
Man comes home, chase the crowds in the rain
That's a vigilante man
Vigilante man
Vigilante man
Well I ramble around from town to town
Ramble round from town to town
And they hunted us a while like a wild herd of cattle
That's a vigilante man
Tell me why does that vigilante man
Tell me why does that vigilante man
Carry that sawed off shotgun in his hand
Would he shoot his brother and sister down
Have you seen that vigilante man
Have you seen that vigilante man
Have you seen that vigilante man
Ive been hearin his name all over this land
Vigilante man
Vigilante man
Vigilante man
Vigilante man
Vigilante man
If you wanna walk out the door
You don't need a key
If you don't wanna come by no more
Ill set you free
Whatever you want babe
Whatever you need
Just as long as you know babe
What you're doin to me
What you're doin to me
If you wanna say it's a day
I wont disagree
I would never stand in your way
That wouldn't be me
Whatever you want babe
Whatever you need
Just as long as you know babe
What it's doin to me
What it's doin to me
I would never tie you down
Youve always been free to leave
If you wanna make it goobye
That's o.k. with me
Got so tired of asking you why
Ill just let it be
Whatever you want babe
Whatever you need
Just as long as you know babe
What it's doin to me
And if I try to find a reason
For all the things I do
Would you try to understand , the way I am
And how I care for you
Would you give me your undivided attention
And the benefit of your doubt?
Ill make the stars fall out of the sky
Make the seas and the rivers run dry
There is nothing I can't do
Lord I'll put my spell on you
Praise the mountains down to the ground
Make the clouds and the rain fall down
There is nothing I can't do
Lord I'll put my spell on you
Chorus:
Im your witchdoctor woman
And Im gonna put my spell on you
Im your witchdoctor woman
Woke up this morning
My dog was dead
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head
I woke up this morning
And my cat had died
I'm gonna miss her
Sat down and cried
Came home this evening
My hog was gone
The people here don't like me
I think I'll soon move on
And now somethin's happened
That would make a saint frown
I turned my back and
My house burned down
Woke up this morning
My dog was dead
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head
I woke up this morning
And my cat had died
Don't you know I'm gonna miss her
Trains, running through the town
Missed my turn around
Trains, got to break away
Got to leave today
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
I think it¡¯s time for a change
Strange, it¡¯s always been the same
It¡¯s never you to blame
Chains, drag me to the ground
But no one turns around
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
I think it¡¯s time for a change
Names, numbers on your wall
But I¡¯m not gonna fall
Games, I¡¯m tired of playin¡¯ clown
Another side show is leavin¡¯ town
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
There¡¯s nothin¡¯ gonna stop me
From runnin¡¯ the tracks
You never saw me comin¡¯
And I ain¡¯t comin¡¯ back
I¡¯ve always been your whippin¡¯ boy
I think it¡¯s time for a change.

Every single day
I think of the times
When you were still mine
And I¡¯m blue
Got to get away
Get you out of my mind
I¡¯m caught up in time
And I¡¯m blue
I don¡¯t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around
It would be alright
Living on my own
I know I¡¯m to blame
I¡¯m locked in my chains
And you¡¯re free
Fallen like a stone
I¡¯m down on the ground
I¡¯m tied up and bound
And you¡¯re free
I don¡¯t miss all the fun that we had
You were always around me
* Where are you now
I need you now
If you were around it would be alright

Goin¡¯ out, got some time to use
Baby, baby, baby, I just can¡¯t lose
Truckin¡¯ round from town to town
Got to get my rocks off the ground
Going up, I¡¯ve been down so long
All I need is just one good song
Take me out of this dead end gig
Get my shot at some of the big
If you want to rock
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody to roll
I just signed my life away
The record company¡¯s got to pay
Got to chase that billboard bullet
Nothin¡¯ left but to go out and do it
If you want to rock
You got to find

You got to find somebody to roll

A ship comes in from africa
Carrying forbidden cargo
Gonna bring somebody lots a trouble
Theres a family out in ohio
Gonna step on it and make it grow
Gonna fool some people at the double
Let it all go round
And it all comes down
A captain down in florida
Knows a man back in chicago
Every deal you know hes makin money
Rico comes from texas way
With a senorita from el paso
Glad hes found the land of milk and honey
Let it all go round
And it all comes down
g man down in panama
Cuts a trail to barcelona
Dip-lo-matic bag will be no hassle
Sails into the big t.o.
Thru the pipeline to alaska
Shes the one in town with something special
Maybe you maybe me maybe them
Look at you look at me look at them
Cut it out
You dont need it anyway
Sees its face in tennessee
Knows a place in casablanca
Detroit city never was a stranger
On the streets of amsterdam
London town and all around us
Everywhere we look we see the danger
Let it all go round
Once I had a girl
She called me on the phone
Said come on over honey
You know Im all alone
But when I got to her place
What I saw stopped me dead
She was standin with a shotgun
Pointed at my head
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttin out fast
Once I had a friend
We had a lot of laughs
He was all a friend could be
Knowin him was just a gas
One night I got home
He gave me one surprise
He was standin in a womans dress
Lashes on his eyes
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttinout fast
My, my, my
My, my, my
Had a pretty wife
She was all I could need
Gave me what I wanted
Never had to plead
One day a man called
And he put me wise
Shes doin the same thing
With ten other guys
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttinout fast
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttin out fast
My, my, my
Dragged up, raised tough
Born a mistake
Learned fast the golden rule
Never give, just take
Did no favors, gave no quarter
You all know the story 'bout
The lamb's broadway slaughter.
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Street wise, cat's eye's
Showbusiness smile
Lookin' for today's mark
On the golden mile
Book wise, movie eyed
So cool dudes.
Ain't gonna do no talking
When they find out they been used.
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Got to make some time
Go through the changes
My whole life needs some rearrangin'
Self styled reject
Ambitious wisher
Also ran life style
Guaranteed user, like a,
Campaign promise from a three time loser
Got to make my move soon
Because, beggars can't be choosers,
So I'm,
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf

I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne
I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own
Oh I know you are the king
And you'll say what is wrong
I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead
You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head
You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood
And the time has come for you to die
And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know I'm the chosen one
I don't believe what you bequeth
And I must do what must be done
You say you're the only king
Your words just fall like rain
You were lookin at your mother
So you went and told your father
Daddy dont say nothin hes got plenty in his past
Changed your way of thinkin
So you started drinkin
And you got arrested for drivin blind
Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, its a fact, take the rap
It was lined up on the mirror
And you just started shavin
Didnt know what you were smokin
Cigarette came from a friend
Judge said youre delinquent
You dont want to think it
So you put your head down, started servin time
Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, take the rap
Tried to talkbut I got nothin to prove--why you want to?
Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to?
Why you want me to take the rap?
Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, take the rap
Well your damned if iron barsll
Keep you rottin in a prison
Hell is lookin better cause youll
Never get to heaven
See your chance and take it
Sure youre gonna make it
Youre prepared to take it cause youre never gonna...
Take the rap, take the rap

Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
Look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground
Vibrations, are burning my hands
Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands
Defending the need , with a silent scream
For another time, for another dream
Jack boots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
No cheap-o, clean-o, is gonna wash away my blues
I need a good friend that's gonna give me some clues
The one on the cross, he almost had it boss
He was really spreading the news
Ah, but the destruct mutt, he's back in business
He ain't about to lose
Jackboots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
And the price-for life
Is one more run on that chicken wire
As the hero returns
With eyes of fire
To another man to man, so damn you man!
Old man don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Prat they don't feed on your sacred ground.

Gotta straighten my face
Wanna keep it in the family
Savin?my disgrace
Like a tick-a time bomb inside a'me
Been to the mount, seen the other side
Money back, number one, guaranteed
Sole-satisfied
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds

Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds
Y'know its nothin?new I'm telling you

Its the home made milkshake
Apple pies 'n?lemonade
Never turned down

My head's moving like a spinning top
How in the world do I make it stop
'round and 'round and faster still
I'm gonna live till I had my fill
Call the crowd and gather 'round
You're gonna find me in the lost and found
Bright lights , that's my style
Don't be goin'awhile
Got no time for sittin' 'round
Tops are livin' proof to
Ain't gonna wait another day
Pack my bags and get on my way
Gone and turn around
You're gonna find me in the lost and found

Where is the rhyme, where is the reason
Who stands to judge me in this way
Some call it choice, some call it treason
Why find me guilty on this day
Stay home and watch it on T.V.
Stay home and watch it on T.V.
See you - See me
Now is the time, now is the season
When we should have something to say
You keep your faith, I'll keep my freedom
Why should we listen anyway
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Stay home and watch it on T.V
See you - See me
How is there no way of pleasing
And who has the answer of the day
When will they stop all of the squeezing
Why should we play the game their way
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Stay home and watch it on T.V
See you - See me
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Stay home and watch it on T.V
Hear the whistle blowin so long
Tellin me I gotta move along
Coast to coast gonna steal highway
Railroad boy up in the guiding daybreak
Get no sleep in a boxcar
Get no piece of line
They catch you jumpin a freight train
They give you such a hard time
Movin fast as my time runs out
Coal is something I can live without
Railroad fever got me a route
Like tumblweed I aint got no roots
You know no peace in a boxcar
Just cant sleep on a line
They catch you jumpin a freight train
They give you such a hard time
(lead)
East coast towns they are
Dark and cold
West coast ladies
They get right to my soul
But you know
Cant stand long
Bet all rairoaders
I was feelin' good, kinda high and cruisin'
I was tryin' to forget someone I had been losin'
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin' crashed out on the ground
You shot me down
I was feelin' fine, mellowed out and easy
I was comin' back down kinda slow and lazy
Then you came along and fired the flame
You shot me down
I was lyin' burned out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down
I was feelin' good, kinda high and cruisin'
I was tryin' to forget someone I had been losin'
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin' crashed out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down.

Good days, bad days
Tearin up the freeways
Runnin in the big race, gotta get on
Shes comin on strong
Theres something goin on
Its the same old song but I gotta get on
Doin this, doin that, sleepin on a doormat
Gotta make a comeback, maybe tonight
When it gets insane and Im losin my brain
But Im makin my name
Gotta do it tonight
She really fooled me
She got me right between the eyes
She pushed me pulled me
She got me right between the eyes.
My head is dancin?like a ball full of fire
Burnin?up with the flames gettin?higher
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like you know you really should
We never have to say a thing to one another
The band is hot 'n?there playing it like a mother
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like y'know you really should
Get you on the rebound, catch y'when you fall
Singin?“Long Tall Sally? gonna rip it up, rip it up
Sweet is drippin?from the ceiling an?the walls
Word is out.I hear the curtains gonna fall
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like y'know you really should
Get you on the rebound, catch y'when you fall
Singin?“Long Tall Sally? gonna rip it up, rip it up
Rip it up, rip it up good
Rip it up like y'know you really should
Get you on the rebound,catch y'when you fall
Singin?“Long Tall Sally? gonna rip it up, rip it up
Ooh, rip it up, rip it up (rip it up)
Ooh, rip it up, rip it up (rip it up,rip it up)

When Willie met Ronnie he was runnin' up a track
He was bent down, burned out, carryin' a sack
Come on boy, you got to stop and help me some
And keep this money hidden when the police come
Ronnie was shiverin' and makin' funny sounds
He was lookin' like a fox
That was runnin' from the hounds
Sure little buddy, I can lighten up your load
You half it up, I'll hit it up, I'll take it down the road
Never had a better combination been planned
'Cos Willie was a roadie with a rock 'n?roll band
They were heads back, celebratin', drinkin' moonshine
Heads down, here we go across another state line
Tanked up and bullet proof
They couldn't give a monkey's
Damn if he didn't hide the money in a drum case
Pack 'em up, hit em up, do another show
The robber and the roadie got a long way to go
Willie and Ronnie
Anytime they wanted they would pull another job
Anywhere they found a place
And it was fat enough to rob
If Ronnie saw the police he would make a little sign
Then Willie stuck the money in the band's back line
In the main racks, bass stacks
Anywhere he thought it could
Be hidden out of sight
Until the finished out in Hollywood
Split it down the middle
When they took it out the sound
The robber and the roadie got enough to go around
Willie and Ronnie
The robber and the roadie
Forty seven days and they had only one to go
When the telegram arived
To say the band wouldn't show
The crowd was getting' nasty and it turned into a rage
The bottles and the bodies started coverin' the stage
Then the cops came running in
And breaking up the riotin'
When they saw the money falling
Out the back of everything
Hey little buddy think it's time to run and duck
The robber and the roadie could be runnin' out of luck
Willie and Ronnie had to skip it out of town
They were sittin' by the highway like Jackson Browne
They were stickin' out their thumbs
In the middle of the night
When they saw the car comin' with the spinnin' red light
Wide eyed, tongue tied feelin' pretty stranded
No use in runnin' they were caught red handed
Pull 'em in, lock 'em up, put 'em in a row
The robber and the roadie got nowhere to go
Willie and Ronnie
The robber and the roadie
We got state police and the FBI
Willie and Ronnie
You get a big reward
If you can make these boy's mamas cry
The robber and the roadie
We got the national guard and the bear in the sky
Willie and Ronnie
You get a big reward if you can make these mothers cry
The robber and the roadie
Round about midnight
I feel the chill closin in
Living my stage fright
I need the sun to begin - tomorrow
Thinking bout my life
And all the changes she made
And when she went running out
All the colors fade - to midnight
What a bad week Ive had
Theres rain on the window
What a bad week Im sad
Theres rain on my window
Will I be staying
Or am I moving in
Am I still standing
Ive gotta wait - shes choosing
* what a bad week Ive had
Theres rain on the window
What a bad week Im sad
Theres rain on the window
When the sun comes up
It dries that rain on the window
When the sun comes up
It dries that rain on the window
When the sun comes up
It dries that rain on the window
Its a sign of the times, standing in line
Quietly waiting to go out of your mind
Theres nothing to say, no reason to stay
To fight for the right that they have taken away
Get what you get, not what you need
Time after time
* rags to riches, all fallen down
Rags to riches, tied up and bound
Theres no going under
When youre kicked to the ground
Rags to riches..rags to riches
Youre down on your knees, caught in the freeze
Crying inside but theres no easy release
Radical views--in yesterday news
Giving the reason with another excuse
Out on your own, cut to the bone
Time after time
Do I feel alright?
I'll go antwhere you say you wanna to take me
Save me, run away-ay-ay, steal away-ay-ay
'Cause I feel alright
I'll do anything you say you wanna make me
Take me, far away-ay-ay, run away-ay-ay
We've been up all night
Tryin' to avoid a situation
Hold me, let me feel your way
'Cause I wanna stay
Let them all start talkin'
We won't give ourselves away
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Do you feel alright?
An' can you see me when you're lookin' in your mirror
Crazy, try to find a way, so your heart don't pay
Run away-ay-ay
Don't you give yourself away
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our lova leads to madness

Walk me out in the morning dew
Walk me out in the morning dew today
I can't walk you out in no morning dew
I can't walk you out in no morning dew at all
Thought I heard a young girl cryin' mama
Thought I heard a young girl cry today
You never heard no young girl cryin'
You never heard no young girl cry at all
Thought I heard a young boy cryin' mama
Thought I heard a young boy cry today
You didn't hear no young boy cryin' buddy
You never heard no young boy cry at all
Thought I heard a young man cryin' mama
Thought I heard a young man cry today
You never heard no young man cryin'
You never heard no young man cry at all
Now there is no more morning dew
Now there is no more morning dew
What they've been sayin' all these years is true
Now there is no more morning dew.
Time goes between us, and there's no release
Silent ref'rence to defenses raised higher
Than we'll ever need
The more we try, flame inside gets colder to the touch
Taking for granted, gets taken for granted too much
So come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong, show me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
She never asked anything of me
That I could ever be
Now we're lyin?in the shade
Sharpenin?the blades of our rivalry
Untidy lies, they could never disguise
The truth behind the door
Feelin's grow nearer, then disappear again some more
So come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong,s how me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
There can be no contention, come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong, show me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
Move me, come on.

Slim Jim was a stool pidgeon
On the payroll of the f.b.i.
Reverend Fred sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the kid was a gunslinger
Edgar Wallace was a dead ringer
Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer
Keyhole Pete was a keen watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James Joyce was a mudslinger
Jesus Christ was a forgiver
Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer
I'm not fakin' it
Foolin' myself that I'm makin' it
I'm not fakin' it
Tricky dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doomwatcher
Predicted when we're gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Jesse James was a born killer
Me, I'm just a rock'n'roll singer
Light with the mornings goes
I live a long, forgotten shadow
Love with the morning goes
And what to do I just don¡¯t know
The moon is on the run
Another day to up and lay low
Maddogs and noonday sun
I need the darkness to show
Moondance.....Moondance
There goes a setting sun
That¡¯s when we turn from strobe to struttin¡¯
Turn on the city lights
¡®Cause you know I¡¯m moody blue
Moondance....moondance
The women shadow box
They¡¯re dancing tough but the ice is melting
The music gives what it¡¯s got
The moon is looking at you
Moondance.....moondance......moondance

1984 Fool Circle Music
Bad luck, is doggin' me around
Bad luck, is doggin' me around
And I can't change my ways
Because I've been made second grade
And it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
Yes it's better to have loved
Loved and lost
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.
No love, has come to me and stayed
No love, has come to me and stayed
But I can't win this race
But to try to run ain't no disgrace
Losin' hands, have always been my deal
Losin' hands, have always been my deal
Never have drawn, drawn the ace
But when trouble came
Love, now that you're gone,
I just can't carry on,
Love left a space,
I can't erase that face,
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew,
What will I do without her.
Love, where is she now,
I sit and think of how,
She used to be,
Happy to be with me,
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew,
What will I do without her.
Love, left me for good,
I never thought she would,
Now Im alone,
Wondering where she's gone,
Love that I knew gone like the morning dew,
Baby's in the back seat, it's so real
Gotta love the feel of the automobile
You get a certain style when you're so mobile
And responsibility you can avoid that trial
Walkin' on the wild side
Lookin' at the down side
Just a little crazy
Got a kind of strange pride
Standin' at the back door, mercy me
Ain't no place for the man to be
It's a private love, no publicity
And the woman that he's waitin' for is bad news, he'll see
Goin' to a go-go
Slippin' to a life low
Goin' for the fake tan
Dreamin' up a fashion plan
¼loverman
He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?
Drivin' into downtown right on time
Smokin' like a pistol aimed on line
Waitin' for the tingles in his back
All those dangerous feelings getting' ready to attack
Walkin' on the barbed wire
Playin' with desire
Goin' for the night plan
Breakin' any heart he can
¼loverman
He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?
Baby's in the back seat
Gotta love the feel
Baby's in the back seat
Gotta love the feel
He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?
He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?
He's a very superficial man
His suit is ten years older than his last flame
He's the dude with the master plan
He's a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
He's a dude with a master plan
Locked in a shadow
Praying for release
You found my prison
Your love was the key
So come on, light myday
And come on, light my way
Lonely's just a word now
Something from my past
Horizon's look brighter
Loving you will last
So come on, light my day
And come on, light my way
The world's now my oyster
Had me marked ";reject";
You changed the story
Gave me back respect
So come on, light my day
And come on, light my way

Woke up this morning crawled out between the sheets
My woman was warm, kisses oh so sweet
Wanted to stay but I had to go
Headed for the factory, made myself some dough
Chorus:
I said greens is what I mean
Well it dont keep ya warm as lovin
But it sure pays for that fun in between
Got me some new wheels bright red fast and mean
Felt good drivin around in that machine
Cruisin round puttin on a show
Couldnt make the payment the car just had to go
(repeat chorus)
(lead)
Gotta make some changes, gotta get myself in gear
Things are gettin heavy, Im cuttin out of here
Take my woman, make some speed
“Let me be your dog?
If you tell me what to do
I could do it quite well
Give detailed desires, I'd be tryin?like hell
You could leave a little clue
I would follow it through
You got to say somethin?If there's anything you want me to do
Let me be the slave you can faithfully flog
Let me be your dog
I got no way a'knowin?what show is in town
I could be your pacifier
I could be your favorite hound
Just gimme some proof, I'll deliver in style
On a hot tin roof, I'll be burnin?the tiles
Let me be the friend of a friend
Of a stepmother's brother
Of the slave you can faithfully flog
Let me be your dog
(solo)
Roll me right over, I'll crawl and I'll beg
Casanova rover, bitin?your leg
'Cos what goes around, comes around
Simple as that
You'd be doin?yourself a favor
Cuttin?the crap
Let me be your cross-breed, off the lead
Chasin?my tail
I could make you feel better
Like a cheque in the mail
Like a poll-position for the closin?down sale
Like a hog in a synagogue
Let me be your dog
Call me Rover
Let me be your dog
C'mon baby, I'll be good
Like I know I could
Let me be your dog
Hey baby, please baby
Let me be your dog

When the light comes down
We're gonna cuddle up close
Gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses
Hey mama ?wanna know
Why I'm never lonely?
Wanna know
Why I'm never sad?
When the night comes out
And the sandman rides
We're gonna sing and shout
I'm gonna take you places
Hey mamma ?then I'll show you
Why you'll never be lonely
Then you'll know
How you'll never be sad
On your marks with the sun still pouring in
Hold steady 'till we're ready for the evening
Gettin' set, for a ride all around the town
Then you take me where you wanna go
On your mark with the sun still pouring in
Hold steady 'till we're ready for the evening
Gettin' set, take a ride all around the town
Then you tell me where you wanna go
When the light comes down
We're gonna button up tight
And lose this daytime frown
We're gonna smile all night long
Hey mamma ?and I know
That you'll never be lonely
Wanna show you
That you'll never be sad
When the light comes down
We're gonna cuddle up close
We're gonna paint this town
We're gonna rub their noses
Baby when the light comes down
Yes when the light comes down
Baby when the light comes down
Yes when the light comes down
Yes when the lights come down
When the light comes down
Cmon make my day
That's what she said, pointing her gun
Your lucks on the run
Some fast talkin, quick step walkin, roadblocks ahead
You may say Im guilty but I try
Keepin our love alive
The judge and jury
The accused in fury--clutching at straws
Its all for the cause
Circumstances blew your chances
Its understood
You mat say Im guilty but I tried
Keepin our love alive, keepin our love alive
Treadin through the grapevine
Sendin you a lifeline
Don't let it go
You may say Im guilty but I tried
Keepin our love alive
Heartbreaker, soul shaker
I've been told about you
Steamroller, midnight stroller
What they been sayin' must be true
Red hot mama, Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues
(chorus)
Now you're messin' with a (a son of a bitch)
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Now you're messin' with a (a son of a bitch)
Now you're messin' with a son of a bitch
Talkin' jivey and poison ivy
You ain't gonna cling to me
Man taker, Born faker
I ain't so blind I can't see
Red hot mama, Velvet charmer
Time's come to pay your dues

In my life theres places Ive seen,
Places Ive been in my life.
In my life theres things I have done,
Times I have won in my life.
Ships I have known,
Winds that have blown.
In my time were people who cared,
People who shared in my time,
Welcomed the good accepted the bad,
Enjoyed what I had in my time.
People Ive known
Times on my own
And now Im growing old,
In memory I can hold
My picture book unfolds and i
Can feel myself grow cold.
In my life theres times to forget,
Things to regret in my life,
May have done wrong but tried to do right
I followed the light in my life,
But now the lights grow dim,
See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty love's burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love that's a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love that's a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you.

I don¡¯t want to
Go on without you
It¡¯s so bad to be alone
Oh baby come home
I need you
My room is so blue
I keep seein¡¯ your face
Oh, every place
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I can¡¯t stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darlin¡¯ hear my plea
C¡¯mon back to me
Here in the gloom
Of my lonely room
I hold her memories
And smell her sweet perfume
I can¡¯t stand to
Live on without you
Oh my darlin¡¯ hear my plea
C¡¯mon back to me
I can¡¯t stand to
Go on without you
Oh my darlin¡¯ hear my plea
Go on without you
¡®can¡¯t stand to (no,no,no,no,)
Go on without you
Oh my darlin¡¯ hear my plea
Go on without you.......
I can¡¯t stand to.......
Yes baby, I've been drinkin'
Shouldn't come by anymore
But I found myself in trouble darlin'
And I have no place else to go
I got some whiskey, from a bottle
Got some cocaine, from a friend
And I had to keep on movin' darlin'
'Till I was back in your arms again
And I'm guilty, I am guilty
And I'll be guilty for the rest of my life
How come I'm never gonna do
What I'm supposed to do
Seems like everything I do
Never turns out right
That's how it is with me darlin'
You know I just can't stand myself
But it takes a whole lot of medicine darlin'
Holy roller, lookin' down
Where you think you know
All the answers
Arrogance and pride....are sin
Better look to your own chances
CHORUS:
Holy roller can you save your own soul
Can you save your own soul
Holy roller
Standin' up for Jesus
That's your thing
But you're standin' on peoples hearts
Charity is a virtue
To be praised
Better get back on... Jesus' track
Chorus:
Holy roller, practice what you preach
Heaven, it's still within your reach
Holy roller, don't you judge
What you yhink is goin' wrong
Sad to be alone
Your only comfort is the telephone
Homesick again
Thoughts of far away
Silence is the only way to say
Aint it a shame
Whats goin down, she dont understand
Cant you be with her every night
Why must it be, youre away so long
But she plays along, and its alright
People all around
You dont see or hear them make a sound
Its not the same
Whats goin down, she dont understand
Cant you be with her every night
Why must it be, youre away so long
But she plays along, and its alright
Countin out the days
That dont help to ease the days away
The price you pay
Drinkin' my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday
Poorman's party, rich man's daughter,
Gettin' hotter and hotter.
She's pushin' way too hard
I don't want any part of her way
Drinkin' my wine, makes me feel fine,
Gonna have me a holiday.
It's a holiday, it's a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I don't want to be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
Drinkin' my wine, wastin' my time
Hidin' out in my rented dream
Lookin' for attention
A cover story mention in
Life magazine
Ask the chauffeur who he knows
Numbers he's got, lots of those.
Drinkin' my wine, spendin' my time
Tryin' to run from this halloween.
It's a holiday, it's a holiday
Mama, mama, please no more jaguars
I don't want to be a pop star
Mama, mama, please no more deckhands
I don't wanna be a sailor man
Mama, mama, please no more facelifts
I just don't know which one you is
Mama, mama, please no more husbands
I don't know who my daddy is.
It's a holiday, it's a holiday

Hard living, every day of my life
Hard living, every night on the wine
Never givin, any one any time
Always losin, all I had all the time
Yes Im a selfish kinda man
All I need is a helping hand
Bad loser, never had anyone
Bad chooser, never owed never won
Fast mover, everyday on the run
Never knowing, if I feel or Im done
Hard living, every day of my life
Why don't you tell me that it's over
Why do you keep this hangin' on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Say what you mean and see it done
Why don't you cut me loose, you don't need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
There's nothin' left you can say to please me
You're just a dog who's had it's day
You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad
Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan
You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold
You used to lead the dance and fumble
Howl in the night you could not sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap.

Make you break you girls don¡¯t care
Wake you shake you get you there
Some girls like to play it cool
Some like to kiss and tell

It¡¯s not new but it¡¯s gotta be faced
A man can be turned by a pretty face
Can¡¯t live with them
Can¡¯t live without them

Girls on T.V. girls that race
Some girls want to tie you down

It's a gone dead train
Yes, it's a gone dead train
My engine was pumpin' steam
And I was grindin' at you hard and fast
Burnin' down the rails, tryin' to heat the way
Haulin' ass and ridin' up the track
And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin' me my coal
It would never last
But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Like a gone dead train
Once was at a time when I could
Mama shave 'em dry
And raise a fever ice-down chill
Waitin' at the station
With a heavy loaded sack
Savin' up and holdin' just to spill
Shootin' my supply through my demon's eye
Instead of holdin' my time, I hope I will
But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn now, now
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn
There ain't no easy day
When your daily run's a downhill pull
And there ain't no easy way
Wishin' for some jelly roll
There ain't no switch been made
To make your juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full
But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Ain't no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train
Yes it's a gone dead train
I'm gonna teach it to learn
You know it's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
It's a gone dead train
It's a gone dead train, you gotta learn
It's a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.

Im a freewheeler, an underground dealer
The kind of guy you never get to know
So you can quit thinking about stoppin my drinkin
You know Ill go the road I choose to go
Im a freewheeler, living undercover
When things get hot I have to move out fast
When they know Im lyin, the women come cryin
But still I go the road I choose to go
No-ones ever going to re-arrange me
No-ones ever going to try to change me
You know Ill go the road I choose to go
Im doin fine, takin my time
I dont want to settle down
No feeling when you told me goodbye
No reason when youre living a lie
Dont tell me what I already know
Im living memories of long ago
I fool myself, I deny it all
Wanna hide it away
Lost moments never caring enough
I was never good at playing it tough
Still living in my own little world
Still believing youre the only one
Its always hard, never easier
To face another day alone
Every time it rains I fall apart
I start to remember
Every single time it rains
Jerry Leiber/L. Butler
Lord I swear, the perfume you wear
Is made out of turnip greens
And every time that I kiss you girl
It tastes like pork and beans
Even though you¡¯re wearin¡® them
Citified high heels
I can tell by your giant steps
That you¡¯ve been walkin¡¯ through cotton fields
Ohhhhhh, you¡¯re some down home girl
Your shoes are green, your dress is red
And your wiggy head is powder blue
But underneath all of that mess,
Well you¡¯re still the same old messy you
You¡¯re sittin there in that fancy chair
Just drinkin¡¯ champaigne like a movie star
When ya oughta be sittin¡¯ on a sidewalk
Drinkin white lightnin¡¯
Out of a jelly jar
Oh, you¡¯re some down home girl
Dimples in your pretty cheeks
And dimples in your knees
You walk by and baby I
Can smell magnolia trees
You tell me you¡¯re from New York baby
But I know you¡¯re from way down South
I can hear a Mississippi mama
Evey time you open up your mouth
Oh, you¡¯re some down home girl
Oh, you¡¯re some down home girl

Now you say you're leaving
Leaving me without a friend
How can you do what you're doing to me
How can you say you want to be free of me
Now you say it's over
And your walkin' out my door
Tellin' me you're going away for good
Never coming back and I'll never see you again
chorus:
You left me here with my empty arms
My empty rooms
And my empty heart is crying
Nothing is left for me now you're gone
It just ain't right and I know it can't last I'm dying
repeat 1
lead
Another bridge I have burned
A lesson I learned
One more mistake to my cause
One more hand got lost
In a game
So I was up for awhile
Livin in style
Feelin high on the hog
I was down
Chorus:
Now some say I lost
His other soul
How barely a young man
Can sink so low
And I dont know..........dont care at all
I had a similar dream
Of my dreams
While
I thought I had wandered a mile
I was wrong
Now Im on the way up
When you reach the top
No way to go
You came round today
You never even knocked on my door
Your note tried to say
That you dont love me no more
Bridge:
I want you by my side cause
I wanna be your man
Im burning up inside cause
I wanna be your man
I had to be told
From people that I meet in the street
They are turning cold
Without you I would not be complete
Bridge:
Why did you write me in a letter
A word from you would be much better
Lead
Bridge
Dont cast me aside
Without you I could never survive
Why did you decide
To kill the love that keeps me alive
What gives you this crazy thought
That you can talk to my woman
Whats your claim to fame
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
Whats your claim to fame?
Whats your name?
Gonna give you just one more chance
To make amends to my woman
You got yourself to blame
Only thing thats left to do
Is to think real hard about what youre gonna do
About your crazy game
Whats your name?
Whats your name?
Who the hell do you think you are?
Whats your game?
Are you some top of the pops star?
What gives you this crazy thought
That you think you can talk to my woman
Whats your claim to fame?
What gives you half a mind
To even think her name
Hello, feelin?happy, got peace of mind?
Hello, kimosabe, won't you be so kind
Tell all the fake facts jack, dirt n all
How long'd it take you mac, t'get the skirt to fall?
Hello Mr. backstreet president, hello, how's it hangin?Still shakin?her tent? don't it hurt, what she's sayin?
'Bout you to your back, don't it bother you at all?
You know you crack me up, really, really crack me up
Well hello, (hello) it's a real bad line, just want the
Love of a good, good woman sometime
Sold to the man who has everything
Gold-caged madonna, sing mama, sing
Come on, get close, I forget how near
Move along now, There's nothin?to see round here
Can?you care about me, like I care about me?
Don't it bother you at all?
You know you crack me up, really, really crack me up
You crack me up, crack me up
Happy, feelin?happy, got peace of mind?
Hello kimosabe, won't you be so kind?
Tell all the fake facts jack, dirt n all
How long'd it take you mac, t'get the skirt to fall?
Come on, get close, I forget how near
Move along now, there's nothin?to see round here
Can't you care about me, like I care about me
Don't it bother you at all?
You know you crack me up, really, really crack me up
You crack me up, really, really, really, really, really, really
Crack me up
You know you crack me up, you crack me up.

I am just a child in the sun
Just another soul on the run
One more of your unwanted sons
Tell me where can I go
I had a line I tried for a while
Now Im walkin mile after mile
On my face no trace of a smile
Why does time pass so slow
Take me down to the river
Take me down to the sea
Where I can drown all my sorrows
Wash all my troubles away
Watch all my cares sail away
I have no ties my hands are unbound
There is no friend no love I have found
I have no ups Im fixed to the ground
You can have girls and girls
You can have boys and boys
You can have sex and violence
You can have space age toys
You can have anything that you think will fit
As long as its box office, as long as its a hit
Cinema, cinema
You can have birdmen and snowmen
You can have women in red
Hero taxi drivers talk about evil dead
Black hats and white hats you know what I mean
A flashdance welder and jesus in jeans
Cinema, cinema
Norma jean has gone with the wind
And well never, never see her no more
Jimmy dean you drove that machine
Chased a dream, chased a dream
Weve been up the junction, down the yellow brick road
Weve got beauty with beast
And a prince with a toad
Weve got future adventures
You believe man can fly
Put on your 3-d glasses
Cats eye, apple pie, what am I going to do,
The woman I loved walked out on me,
What am I going to do.
Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone,
The woman I love has done me wrong,
What am I going to do.
Green beans, blackeyed peas,
What am I going to do,
The woman I love has let me down,
What am I going to do.
Shes a delta queen know what I mean,
As mean as wildfire lightnin,
She can win and break the heart of any man,
Shes the delta queen of new orleans,
And she loved me somethin frightnin,
Called her name but the wind blew strong,
I called in vain though I tried so long,
Called the sea to bring her home,
But the sea dont hear and Im still alone
I feel an emptiness inside
Something within me I cant hide
Standing here looking at the sky,
But the light I see cant tell me why,
I feel an emptiness inside,
Something within me I cant hide.
Everytime I stop to think
Thats the time I get lonely
Thats the time it hurts the most
Everytime I get lonely.
What went wrong, who am I to blame,
Did I take too long, to call her name,
I feel an emptiness inside
If it takes them so long
So long to say yes
Why don't they just say no?
They don't need anyone to be put to the test
Why don't they let us go
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right
Livin?for the right to be free
We needed a plan, we needed defenses
We couldn't raise a smile
As the world looked on, they raided our senses
There can be no reconcile
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
There was a time before life was taken for granted
'Will never come again
Our flower is dead, the seed is unplanted
They put it all to flame
Burning down, burning down, burning down, burning down
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right
Livin?for the right to be free
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right
Livin?for the right to be, livin?for the right
Livin?for the right to be free
Burning down, burning down , burning down , burning down

Born under the wrong sign
Trouble is my middle name
Born under the wrong sign
Every day turns out the same
But it's so hard to see the light
When you're born under the wrong sign
Wrong sign
Wrong sign
Cast out'a the wrong mold
Sorry is no way that I feel
Cast out'a the wrong mold
Singin' my blues is for real
But it's so hard to see the light
When you're born under the wrong sign
Born under the wrong sign
Trouble is my middle name
Born under the wrong
Every day turns out the same
But it's so hard to see the light
When you're born under the wrong sign
Wrong sign
Wrong sign

Hey, you, who are you talkin' to
Hey, boy, haven't you heard the news
No one can fight more than these boys
No one can bite more than these boys
Hey, hose, who do you want to know
Hey, punk, get off my case and go
No one can fix more than these boys
No one can kick more than these boys
The boys in the band
You can back down
Yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time to close your face
Hey, now, what have you got that's new
Come on boy what are you trying to prove
No one can take more than these boys
'Cause no one can shake more than these boys
The boys in the band
You can break down
Yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time that you knew your place
Come on break down
'Cause yours is no disgrace
No slack clown
It's time to close your face

So youve run outa numbers
And youve run outa lovers
They wont deliver that pizza
Youre hungry under the covers
Youre all alone in the moonlight
Got to get ready for daylight
All nite, all nite
Listening to the all nite radio
You could have been sleepin
You could have done anythin
But everbodys singin
Good morin
All nite, all nite
Listening to the all nite
All nite radio

I know you
You always rode so tall in the saddle
You are the answer
But I know that you are only causin trouble
Take all you want, leave me the rest behind
Youre a user
A winnin no new friends, just make one small step
Youre a user
You never came to anyones call
Spent all your life head on the wall
While you're up there, there's only one way to fall
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
You still got your chances
The one thing the whole world loves is a winner
You can't walk on water
With your heat the ice you're on is gettin thinner
You used to be so wise
But you are fooled by your own lies
And I see right through your disguise
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
(copyright Nazareth, Tiflis Tunes,inc.-ascap)
Mist upon the hill can remember murder,
Mist upon the hill that once flowed with blood,
Helped to cover up an approaching army,
Hid the killing lust in the eyes of men.
Sitting by the fire was a sentry sleeping,
Rolled up in their beds were children that play,
Unsuspecting what was to fall upon them,
None of them would see the dawn next day.
Bloody were the blades that fell on children,
Hate the blinding light tried to kill a name,
The mountains only know all the souls that died there,
Glen Coe from that day can recall the shame.
The quiet of the night never gave them warning,
The silence of the hills wouldn't let them know,
They'd never rise again on a mist filled morning,
Never see the sunrise above Glen Coe.
Walkin alone at night in the cold rain
Wondrin if I will see you again
In some corner light
Runnin down the road in the warm sun
Dreaming that I am still the one
Resting by your side
You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you
Remembering when you played me that first song
The first show that you asked me along
Just to be around
Workin so hard till you got that first break
You said you could turn them around
Give them something new
You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you
Got that photograph of you and me
I hear your voice on the radio
Will I ever lay with you again
Nobody planned it we just seemed to drift now
I always seem to have to leave
Just as you come around
But someday soon girl I just got to see
I just gotta find out
I prayed to God and jesus
But I guess they didnt hear
My sacrfice was useless
My pleas fell on deaf ears
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery
I looked to the lord in heaven
But he must have looked away
My crying eyes repentant
Please send her love to light my day
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
Sold my soul to the devil
To the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul
I sold my soul
Beautiful ? this love was meant to be
Innocent ? youre always there for me
I pray youll stay to share this life with me
May heaven keep you
I fill your days with my dependence
You fill my nights with your loveliness
I would give my soul for your protection
May heaven keep you
When were alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
All that we hold
Here safely in our keeping
Whats mine is yours
I bless the day you came
Silent now ? this moments tenderness
Breathless now ? you leave me sighin
I hold you close to stop your cryin
May heaven keep you
When were alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
All that we hold
Here safely in our keeping
Whats mine is yours
I bless the day you came
When were alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
I hope we feel the same
All that we hold
Here safely in our keeping
Whats mine is yours
I bless the day you came
When were alone
I make you silent promises
As time goes on
Standing watching a pale blue moon,
Rising slowly in the winter sky,
Waiting, hoping shell be home soon,
And I wont ask her where or why.
As the evening shadows fall,
Madelaine, madelaine
I can hear the night wind call,
Call her name, madelaine.
Turning slowly I hear her call,
Echo softly through the silver pines,
Walking home the first snowflake falls,
Still, shes always on my mind.
As the evening shadows fall,
Madelaine, madelaine
I can hear the night wind call,
It seems to me Ive heard that song before
Far off in some distant land
Or it may have been upon some foreign shore
Burning in my heart again
Ive seen the sounds and I have felt the air
Drumming in my dreams again
Deja vu I dont know now or then
Enemy or maybe friend
Oh but for the love of freedom
Oh but for the love of you
I would never, ever have seen this day
So please forgive me if I weep no more
For friends and lovers far away
Theres been too many times to hear the names
Of friends who have stayed away
Maybe now and then you still recall the pain
As though it was yesterday
Oh but for the love of freedom
Oh but for the love of you
I would never, ever have seen this day
So please forgive me if I weep no more
For friends and lovers far away
Lovely loretta
Id like to know you better

Moonlight eyes I see you smile
It lightens up my night
Your smile takes all the fight out of me
Moonlight eyes I hear you crying
It robs me of my pride
There's nothing I can hide from Moonlight eyes
I got no control
You just roll me lie the sea
Oh Moonlight eyes
Moonlight eyes you're grown now
I'll soon be out of touch
You'll lose that innocence that cost so much
Moonlight eyes you'll find your pain
You'll say that I'm all wrong
There'll always be a place where you belong
I got no control
You just roll me lie the sea
Oh Moonlight eyes
Tell your sweet lies only to me, only to me
Moonlight eyes you soothe me
Moonlight eyes you're easy on my soul
Moonlight eyes you are the reason
The meaning in the words
The words to every song I've ever heard
Paralysed in sweet surprise
Your every wrong is right
One look into your night oh Moonlight eyes
I got no control
You just roll me lie the sea
Oh Moonlight eyes
Tell your sweet lies only to me, only to me
Oh Moonlight eyes
I don't want to take you prisoner
Or do it against your will
I wouldn't ever take you over
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I would never leave you stranded
Alone on some point of view
Couldn't ever hold you under
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I know that the world
All its diamonds and its pearls
Could never buy you
Could never even try to
Wouldn't ever bring you sadness
Leave you standing in the rain
Never thought you would be easy
Only want a little part of you
Only want a little part of you
I know that the world
All its diamonds and its pearls
Could never buy you
Could never even try to
If you want to go out
You've got to take her out, cocaine
And if you want to get down
Down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
Well if you've had bad news
You want to kick your blues, cocaine
And if your day is done
But you just got to run on, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
Feeling is gone but you just
Got to ride on, cocaine
But don't forget this fact
You just can't get it back, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine

Goodbye romance can't take a chance
On loves painful games
Ive called too many times on a sweetheart tree
Lady lost now I count the cost
Nothing seems to change
Ive called too many times on the sweetheart tree
Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin set me free
I need some time to change my mind
Before I try again
Ive been too many times to the sweetheart tree
Some go some then lay in tow
But love just don't come free
Ive called too many names on the sweetheart tree
Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin set me free
(lead)
Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin set me free
Goodbye romance can't take a chance
On loves painful games
I tried to hang on for as long as I could
But now I can see that it just ain¡¯t no good
Our love it has wasted
Right down to the core
Whatever we had
We don¡¯t have anymore
You¡¯ve got to get off a road to nowhere
You¡¯ve got to get off a road to nowhere
Well I tried and I tried to make things work out right
But I guess we¡¯re two people who can¡¯t help but fight
Your eyes they are open
And oh so are mine
We both need our freedom
Don¡¯t you think it¡¯s about time
I¡¯m trying to get off this road to nowhere
I¡¯m trying to get off this road to nowhere
(lead)
Thank you for the good times we¡¯ve had in the past
But we both know enough to know good times don¡¯t last
Baby you¡¯re just no good for me
And I¡¯m no good for you
Let¡¯s not waste our time talkin¡¯
We both know what to do
We¡¯ve got to get off this road to nowhere
It¡¯s time to get off this road to nowhere
You¡¯ve got to get off this road to nowhere
We¡¯ve got to get off this road to nowhere

I know the night is silent I¡¯ll be insane
Got to find a new place where I can hide from the rain
I¡¯ll wait for the weekend to get wasted and then
Gonna get on up so I can fall down again
Party down...party down....party down
This world is crazy, everybody party down
You bring the bottle baby I¡¯ll bring the glass
I¡¯ll be the animal,you can be the class
I know that memory that can shed us some light
This kind of magic keeps me flyin¡¯ all night
Party down....party down....party down
This world is crazy, let¡¯s all party down
I'm just tryin¡¯ to feel better
I just wanna feel better
Don¡¯t waste your life away
Eeverybody party down
Gonna shimmer my shoes on down to the red dog saloon
Just waitin¡¯ for the sunset to give way to the moon
Been sleepin¡¯ all day so I can party all night
Hallucinating at the northern lights
Party down....party down....party down

Don¡¯t talk to the pilot
When he¡¯s flyin¡¯
Don¡¯t smile at the soldier
He¡¯s on parade
Don¡¯t come creeping round, you¡¯ll
Catch me cryin¡¯
No more talkin¡¯ ¡®bout it
It¡¯s all been said
You drawn such a fine line baby
Learnin¡¯ all the rules
Why don¡¯t ya read between them sometimes
You won¡¯t look such a fool
Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
You¡¯re gonna lose
Don¡¯t trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private information¡¯s
Just tellin¡¯ tales
* You draw such a fine line baby
Learnin¡¯ all the rules
Why don¡¯t ya read between them sometimes
You won¡¯t look such a fool
** Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book
Why don¡¯t you read the book, why don¡¯t you read the book

It¡¯s three o¡¯clock in the morning
And they¡¯re sayin¡¯ you¡¯ve had enough
But you want another drink
Good old north or southern stuff
You¡¯re a boy from way down south
Folks from the old north
And it¡¯s friday night
It¡¯s party night for you
King George he sent the excise men
The yankee revenuers
It don¡¯t matter what they try
They¡¯ll never stop the brewin¡¯
Because a man will take a glass
To make his spirits fly
On a friday night
It¡¯s party night for you
They bring out laws and taxes
Try to cut you down
If you can¡¯t go to the corner bar
Then you¡¯ll go underground
So come on down to your local still
And buy yourself a thrill
On a friday night
It¡¯s party night for you
* Whiskey the water of life
There¡¯s more to it than the pourin¡¯
Oiled the reel on the fiddle bow
And sent the music soarin¡¯
My old man and his old man
They knew what they were doin¡¯
Lovin¡¯ malt from the old land
And the corn from tennessee
If you¡¯re feelin¡¯ lowdown
You don¡¯t need no pill
Come along and join the clan
Support your local still
You can win your bar-room blues
Find that hazy delight
On a friday night
It¡¯s party night for you
repeat *
It¡¯s three o¡¯clock in the morning
And they¡¯re sayin¡¯ you¡¯ve had enough

The backroom boys are playin real hard
Theres a lot of money rollin on the next card
Some are goin up some are goin down
Somell never make it to the next round
Stone me it dont come free
You gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
They got--a room full of women
A table full of booze
Gettin meaner with the dealer--cause he cant lose
Someone shouts out,its a goddamn shame
The dealers gettin meaner with the cocaine
*stone me it dont come free
Gotta be a winner
If you wanna be a backroom boy
Cant stay home get uptown
Get your ear to the ground
If you wanna be a backroom boy
** up all night, playin it right
Backroom boys
Look in your eye, never say die
Backroom boys
** the backroom boys are all the same
Even take your money when they play games
Take you when youre up, kick you when youre down
There is a town in North Ontario
Dream, comfort, memory, despair
And in my mind I still need a place to hide
All my changes were there
Blue blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the skies
Casting shadows in our eyes
Leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless they leave me now
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Blue blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
They leave us helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless they leave me now
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
Helpless, helpless they leave me now
Helpless, helpless, helpless
Donna has a nine year old kid
In another months time she¡¯s expecting twins
She says she can quit anytime she likes
But I know she¡¯s on a mission tonight
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back
Don¡¯t pay no bills don¡¯t pay the rent
But you don¡¯t forget where the money went
And who will you turn to when the money¡¯s all gone
You¡¯ll wonder why, why you were born
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back
She¡¯s down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then she¡¯ll quit
One more dance just one more hit
Remember Frank he cut a dash
So much style so much class
Blown away for the coat on his back
The kid that did it sold his coat for crack
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back
She¡¯s down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then she¡¯ll quit
One more dance just one more hit
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back

I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love
Said I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off
Well I made my first kill
With the old town girl
She was the apple of her daddy's eye
Well that woman looked up at me
And I said honey we'll be
Together 'till the day I die
But I lied
I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love
I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off
There seems to be no end
Of women who are lookin' for a man
My services don't come cheap
But I help out when I can
Tell them lies that they wanna hear
And I really lead em on
Spend all of their money
And I'm long, gone
I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love
I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love
Come take me to your house
Then I'm gonna rip you off
I've got tastes for fast cars
I don't wanna settle down
The good life sure come s easily
With all the mugs around
The women they just come to me
I don't have to look around
I move into their homes with them
Then I move on
I'm a bad, bad, boy
And I'm gonna steal your love

Now lay me down on market street
Im lookin for some spare change
A coast guard ship has been lookin for me
And I might have to change my name
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans
The local chiefs on the radio
Hes got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin back to alcatraz
Lay me back down here on the highway
One hundred and one ways to go
Solitary is so confinin
To the legend of geronimo
Oh I know I could bring the rain
Used to dance for abc
And all the braves down on death row
Are pretending to be free
Back home in alcatraz
In the land of the great white father
My american blood runs cold
I left my home in oklahoma
To the everglades I go
Its just the wings on the silver cars
And Im allowed to plow a field
Its not the life for a nineteen seventy
(what's an)indian boy to do
Goin back to alcatraz
Lay me down on market street
Im lookin for some spare change
A coast guard ship has been lookin for me
Might have to change my name
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans
Local chiefs on the radio
Hes got some hungry mouths to feed
Goin back to alcatraz
Here comes uncle sam again with the same old bag of beans

Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says "; Too bad, too sad";
You know that he's been dead and gone.
L.A. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the K.G.B. came on the line.
It's a cold one, bein' sent down
It's gotta be fifty below
Mama here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon
But we're headed for a southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.
He's a big one, he's got a big gun
I guess we better go along
Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
Second billing to the rolling stones
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Laid low in 'Frisco
Done in and left behind for dead

Im goin back to new york city
Times square sure will be shinin bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I dont go down every night.
Im gonna take in memphis
You know the one down in tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now thats the place to be.
Sittin in a bar in macon
Drinkin something called rebel yells
When I thought I heard someone ringing
I guess shes a southern bell.
We just cut out of el paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if youve ever been down there man
Then you know why we run.
I got jet lag
And livin out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the u.s.a.
Tryin hard to make a phone call
Long distance over seas
Yes maam I did say scotland
Could you spell that again for me please
You know that it just blew my mind
Id love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time.
Driving down a detroit freeway
Just lookin at those concrete walls
Hey but its a good town to rocknroll in
What do you mean the police closed the God damned hall?
Flyin home tomorrow
To be theres gonna be just great
And after some time with my lady
D. McCafferty/P. Agnew/D. Sweet/M. Charlton
Reach out and touch my fire
I¡¯ll make you know you¡¯re alive
Sweet love move in slow
Stretching out like a wire
I¡¯ll take you right to the top
Girl as low as you can drop
You¡¯ll thank the Lord up above
Woman you¡¯ll know you¡¯ve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as there¡¯s stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Slow down now don¡¯t you run
For you there¡¯s just no way out
Made up my mind, not wastin¡¯ time
You¡¯re what I¡¯m thinkin¡¯ about
I got myself on your case
You just can¡¯t keep up the pace
But you¡¯ll thank the Lord up above
Woman you¡¯ll know you¡¯ve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as there¡¯s stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Hey girl don¡¯t be a fool
Your bridges all have been crossed
You¡¯ve got it wrong, my love is strong
So don¡¯t go countin¡¯ the cost
I¡¯m only thinkin¡¯ of you
Give me just an hour or two
Then you¡¯ll thank the Lord up above
Woman you¡¯ll know you¡¯ve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure, sure as there¡¯s stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
I was born to love you
You want me to be your friend
Stick by you through thick or thin
What's in it for me
What's in it for me?
You'd like me to deal you in
Hold your hand right to the end
What's in it for me
What's in it for me?
You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This ain't for me
This ain't for me
You want someone you can trust
You want love , you don't want much
What's in it for me
What's in it for me
You want my name on the line
I don't feel that way inclined
What's in it for me
What's in it for me?
You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This ain't for me
This ain't for me.

Let me be your leader
Let me have control
The way I see it
It's good to be right for you
I could be your pilot
Through the stormy seas
The way you see it
It's just a case of trust in me
I could be your hero
I'll be your piece of mind
The way that I see it
It's got to be right for you
I wanna be your brother
If you need a friend

It's got to be right by me

What do you see in your crystal ball for you?
Do you see an old wound fade into the blue?
I will be your lifeline
If your ship goes down
The way that I see it
You've got to have faith in me
I wanna be your partner
Through the darkest nights
The way you see it
It's always just you and I
Midnight screamers
Daytime dreamers
What do you see in your crystal ball for you?
Do you see an old wound fade into the blue?
Stopped in fright at a traffic light
Red eyes staring me out
Strange feelings comin' down tonight
Can't quite figure it out
Fit your alibi before your crime
No need in serving no time
Case you scam, or you'll get rammed
Stretched out on that line
Hangin' out at a shooting site
Cold turkey calling a tune
All the answers coming late tonight
Try to look like you're immune
In your eyes you can feel the heat
But the feelings outa touch
You're working on just a holding on
You're hurtin' oh so much
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Call off your dogs 'cause I am no fox
Turn off your white light
My alibi is rock tight
Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me in
Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit
Is wearin', mighty thin
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a star
And the perfume he wore lingers on the king's road
Like a whore
Legs wrapped around a plastic stool
He's making more in one day
Than you've had.......hot, hot dinners
Call out your legions, the savior is loose
Telling true stories you know that ain't no use
Your empire is burning you can feel the smell
Your hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machine
Is looking mean
And should be working well
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?

It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin lots of nothing
She was none too bright
But youll listen much to anythin
When anythins in sight, wont ya!
Double back trouble like a temperance hall
Shes dealin with the ceilin
And the writings on the wall
Then youre wishing it was over, like an endless fall.
Its a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there aint a train in sight
Oh no! settin my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Playin the game his latest flame
Now its a fine line between passion and dread
Foolin and a droolin
Starts rulin your head
To seduction, destruction
Were so easily lead
And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone
The smell of disappointment
Mirror wants to pick a bone
Its a cup of cold coffee
Like the taste of stale beer
Lets get outta here
Its a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there aint a train in sight
Oh no! settin my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Carry the flame and make it last
Ime out, no good now
Screamin too loud
And I cant hear a word you say
Look out, way too late
Suns going down
And Im comin around your way
You keep calling me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin
When you cry, you cry, cry wolf
Got me running, cry,cry--cry, cry wolf
Dont touch, dont look now
Somethins cookin
And its keepin me hang around
But when the call comes through
Im ready for you and you say it aint true
But youre keepin your defenses down
You keep callin me all night
You keep saying its alright, alright
Got me runnin
Blind in my one good eye
My mind just won't reply
Somethin?from way down south
Kinda formin?a dust in my mouth
Lookin?for a place to hide
Lookin?for a space to die
Rattlin?like an old tin can
I'm cruisin?like a laundry van
hot 'n?cold fever down to my knees
Wearin?out all of my rosary beads
Can't shake those shakes
Can?t shake those shakes no more
Can't shake those shakes
Feels like I'm dyin?when I'm already dead
Date with my medicine man
He got the remedies I understand
Gotta find the price to pay
Gonna send me on my way
Gotta desperate need, gotta feed the fire
I got a chemical love and a burned out desire
Can't shake those shakes
Can't shake those shakes no more
Can't shake those shakes, eels like i'm dyin?When I'm already dead, I'm dead.
Don't care for sentiment, don't even pay my rent
Got enough bad habits to blame
Got enough of them to keep me sane
Losin?altitude in this neighborhood
Can't break the fall, though iI know that I should
Can't shake those shakes

She knows all about me
She knows all my felonies
She got the moves to-a-make me tremble
She's got me on my knees
She's got life-time guarantees
'Ain't got no time for my innuendos
I don't mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump 'n?grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
She say I'm to blame
She say men are all the same
She got the signed, sealed, testimony
She knows a woman's place
She knows where to rest her case
She got her mind on alimony
I don't mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump 'n?grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
Hey, baby, bring it on home to mama
Hey, hay-makin?baby, bring it on home to mama
She wears a heart of gold
Says her needs are many fold
I got no reason or need to doubt it
She knows she leads the dance
She knows how t'wear those pants
She got the full metal matching outfit
I don't mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump 'n?grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
I don't mind if you make a dime baby
Bring it on home to mama
Bump 'n?grind in your own time baby
Bring it on home to mama
You can go blind, gimme what's mine
If y'wanna keep this love alive, (keep this love alive)
Bring it on home to mama
Don't talk back, just get another kick-back
This ain't no jive, (this ain't no jive!)
Bring it on home to mama
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home
Bring it on home, bring it on home to mama
Bring it on home!

Turn on your receiver, I'm gonna lat it on the line
'cause I'm a great believer, in hangin' on to what is mine
So come over here and listen, I don't want you to be missin'
What I say
And I ain't gonna waste my time sayin' it all again
I've been hearin' stories, 'fact the word's all over town
I've had my share of worries ever since you've been around
So come over hear and listen, I don't want you to be missin'
What I say
And I ain't gonna waste my time sayin' it all again
Turn on your receiver, there's a message comin' through
Keep your hands off my woman
Keep your hands to yourself
Since you came into my life
It's the same old situation
Empty days and lonely nights
Filled with bitterness and frustration.
Walking lonely in the cold
Tryin’ to find the answer
Spend my money on a crystal ball
And the charms of a gypsy dancer.
Tryin’ to break the spell you hold on me
Chorus:
You're miss misery
That's all that you'll ever be
Set me free, set me free
Please, please, please
Everyday is filled with shame
My nights are filled with anger
Hollow lies, forced denial
If you told the truth I can't remember.
You know I've got to find my way
Got to find a reason
Got to find your weakness
So I can end your witchin season.
Got to break the spell you hold on me
Chorus:
You're miss misery
That's all that you'll ever be
Set me free, set me free
Please, please, please
Lead:
Can't think how I got myself
Caught up in this nightmare
Evil schemes, midnight screams
Come on somebody listen to my prayer
I'd give all I've got to give
Just to find a way out
Can't hold on, but I can't let go
I'm trapped on this crazy round about
Tryin’ to break the spell you hold on me
Chorus:
You're miss misery
That's all that you'll ever be
Set me free, set me free
Everyone says connection is easy
I look at my score, experience none
Tossed a coin when I was seventeen
I got the ice, you got the cream
All that you see is stanger than fiction
All that you do defies all description
And you worry about your lack of existence
Then by all means go crazy
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin' would be alright.
Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah
His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean
With mass consultation, a blind congregation
His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene
Correspondence, the back of a sin rag
If this is deliverence, life is a drag
Searchin' salvation, your sightlines get hazy
You got it right,go crazy.
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin' would be alright.
Or maybe you'll go crazy.

Black cat, dont you look back at me
Good luck, dont hang around me
I been down so long I cant see
Need something thats gonna set me free
Chorus:
I need some good love
I need some good, good love
New love, just passes me by
So bad, I dont even try
Shot down and I ask myself why
Needin someone whos gonna save my hide
Chorus:
Lord I need some good love
I need some good, good love
(lead)
(repeat chorus)
Black cat, dont you look back at me
New love, dont wander round me
She was my guiding light
She was my day and night
I hung on every word, no matter wrong or right
She could raise me up to heights Ive never seen
And the coming of age is every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
She was the first for me
She wet my thirst for me
If I was feeling down
She was a nurse for me
She could take me up to heights Ive never been
And the coming of age is every young mans dream
Oh, oh, shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, tu es toujours dans mon coeur
I like to raise my glass
I like to praise the past
Some things go on forever
Some things never last
She could raise me up
She was my fantasy
And the coming of age is every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, eres siempre en mi mente
She was my guiding light
She was my day and night
I hung on every word, no matter wrong or right
She could raise me up to heights Ive never seen
If you want to go out
You've got to take her out, cocaine
And if you want to get down
Down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
Well if you've had bad news
You want to kick your blues, cocaine
And if your day is done
But you just got to run on, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
Feeling is gone but you just
Got to ride on, cocaine
But don't forget this fact
You just can't get it back, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine
She don't lie
Well only you know what your thinkin'
Come on say what's on your mind
Tell me one way or the other
I ain't got much time
Gimme what's mine, gimme what's mine
Well I don't want you to be wastin'
All my lovin' or my time
So I got to know the story
I know we can be so fine
Please gimme what's mine, gimme what's mine
How can I get through to you woman
I think your lovin' is fine
Only want what's given
Only give you what's mine
Yeah sometimes when I see you
I'm scared to state my case
Got to take my chances
Will you leave or will you stay?
Got to know the way, got to know the way
I'm so tired of waitin'
Somethin' that I got to know
If there's one chance that you love me
Then we got to let it grow
We got to let it grow, we got to let it grow
I just got to get through to you woman
I want your lovin'so bad
I'll take all that you give me
I'll give you all that's mine.

Here I am, sitting on my porch
Thinkin¡¯ my life has got to be beyond reproach
Have I forgot some friends close to me
Real ones that don¡¯t use me
And does my woman love me now
Like she loved me then
Here I am,my defenses are down
Will she remember me when I¡¯m not around
Will she still dream by me
Or will she find a new life
Will I ever get used, to being alone at night
I¡¯ll never know, but would it do me any good if I did
Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid
Lift the lid
I¡¯ll never know, but would it do me any good if I did
Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid
Lift the lid

Ive seen that girl before, Ive seen the boys come and go
And still shes on her own
Ive seen those tears before, Ive seen her heart break
She knows what it means to be alone
There must be another way to spend her life
While she is waiting
She knows the dangers there,these love affairs
Run hot, run cold and always take their toll
Its another lonely night inside those empty rooms
She knows will never be a home
There must be etc.
For one from the heart
Shes on her knees
One from the heart, thats all she needs
One from the heart, she can believe
Ive seen that girl before, Ive seen boys that come and go
And still shes on her own
I hope somewhere, somehow,ssomeday
The bars are crowded with wasted youth
You just went, you didnt know the truth
You dont know that kid when you look back
You remember the music, paint it black
You had a brother in the movement and he burned his card
Hes got a job in the white house, aint life hard
You came back a hero on a stolen horse
You say you dont fit in, you cant stay the course
I may be right, dont care if Im wrong
Its a veterans song
I may be right, dont care if Im wrong
Its a veterans song
The band paraded playing oh gung ho
Your country needs you, youve got to go
When you came over they said soldier go back
When you came home they put you on the rack
Between agent orange and the jungle and fear
Youre just surviving to get out of here
You smoke some more herb and you keep your head down
Could be your number is on the next round.

Legs up to her shoulders
All the way back down
Shes not playin, she knows what shes doin
And the words out on the town
She wanna be a cheerleader
A cheerleader
She got the moves
She got the grooves
All the boys need her
Oh oh thats the way she wants to be
Cruisin the touch line at a quarter to three
See her ? she wanna be a cheerleader
Now shes gettin bolder
Now she gets around
Shes not takin no for an answer
Shes not getting down
Shes a no teaser
A no pleaser
She got the drive
She got the jive
Shes a big squeezer
Oh oh thats all she wants to be
Shake a little tush for the boys to see
Wanna be her ? a cheerleader
But what she wants the most
To be the perfect host
She wants to play the field all over
She needs it most of all
When its too close to call
She wants to rock and roll all over
Yes all over
Legs up to her shoulders
All the way back down
Shes not playin, she knows what shes doin
The words out on the town
She wanna be a cheerleader
A cheerleader
She got the moves
She got the grooves
All the boys need her
Oh oh thats all she wants to be
Shake a little tush for the boys to see
Wanna be her ? a cheerleader
Oh oh thats all she wants to be
Cruisin the touch line at a quarter to three
See her ? she wanna be a cheerleader
I'm runnin' tired of this deception
I have no wish to play this game
Too many times a bad connection
And you're still holding me away
We're living under false pretenses
Foolin' ourselves, believe the lies
I could not take one more rejection
You wanted more but would not try
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
We're trapped within our own defenses
The walls we made all look the same
There is no love without affection
We've come to far to break the chain
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
I'm growing tired of this deception
We fall apart and wonder why?
Our hearts now pull in new directions
We don't know how to say goodbye
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night
Something's gone wrong with us
Something ain't right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

When the sun crashes into your world
Look around and you try and find your girl
And you're daring, too sick of what you see
Out of town is the only place to be
When your life starts to run out of juice
Feel like dyin and you just want to get loose
Prayin moves don't make much sense to you
Seeing red before your feeling is blue
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn
Going back, getting out of this town
Stretch it lean and mean, it turns you around
Take your dreams and stretch them out on the street
Take your turn to get back on your feet
Feel the wheels singin over the ridge
Feel the song like oakland take you
All the time you knew you had the itch
All the girls were glad to see you
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn
Girl in ol v wont pray
Don't give you a hard time
All the girls from brooklyn say
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn
Do you remember the day you left the block
Your mama said you would live to regret it
Coming home, coming stoned, come in hope, coming ready
Are you holding steady
She was a wall street celebrity
With upward mobility
Walked and talked like a man
But that was o.k. by me
Two bit losers can never be choosers
No nit pickin kickin the can
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury
Seventeen self abusals
Got me twenty blind, flat refusals
While she's dressin all in white
Im gettin set up for my life
Hard work never stopped the dance
But provin it just aint worth the chance
Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury
Everythings alrighty by me
With risin credibility
Im leavin a mark with my indelability
Shes earnin the money
Im servin the honey
Bring it on home to the hive---no jive
Livin in the lap
She used to be someone you could depend on
To brighten up your coldest winter day
But the one she leaned upon
Let her down, now has moved on
And morning brings another empty day
Now she's only a broken down angel
She's only a bird that's broke her wing
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
She's only a child that's lost her way
She used to be a girl of simple pleasures
A breath of spring to chase your blues away
But now she bears a cross, for a love that she has lost
No sunshine in her life just clouds of gray
Now she's only a broken down angel
She's only a bird that's broke her wing
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
She's only a child that's lost her way
She's only a broken down angel
She's only a bird that's broke her wing
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
She's only a child that's lost her way
Now she's only a broken down angel
She's only a bird that's broke her wing
She's only someone, someone who's gone wrong
She's only a child that's lost her way
Ive been up, Ive been down
Take my word, ii been round
I aint asking for much...uh-huh
I said lord take me downtown
Im just looking for some tush
Ive been bad, Ive been good
Dallas texas, hollywood
I aint asking for much...mmmmm
I said lord take me downtown
Im just looking for somw touch
Lead
Take me back, way back home
Not by myself, not alone
I aint askin for much...mmmmm
I said lord take me downtown
You're the violin
Nazareth
Some beat me like a drum
Some stroke me like a guitar
Some shake me like a tambourine
Some beat me into the wall
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
Some blow me like a horn
Some slide me like a trombone
Some smoke me like a tuba dude
Some cut me like a saxophone
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
When you touch me like you touch me
Don't it feel like a summer breeze
When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya
It brings me to my knees
Think i'm makin' love to you
Sweet baby, ya
When you touch me like you touch me
Well, don't it feel like a summer breeze
When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya
It brings me to my knees
Think i'm makin' love to you
Sweet baby, ya
Some beat me like a drum
Some stroke me like a guitar
Sh-sh-sh-shake me like a tambourine
Some beat me into the wall
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
In the song of my life
Well, some contend that this rocknroll
Is bad for the body, bad for the soul
Bad for the heart, bad for the mind
Bad for the deaf and bad for the blind
It makes some men crazy and then they talk like fools
It makes some men crazy and then they start to drool
Unscrupulous operators could confuse
Could exploit and deceive
The conditional reflex theories
Change the probabilities, I said its a
Crass and raucous crackass place
With a pavlov on the human race
Its a terrible illness, a terrible case
And usually permanent when it takes place
Its a teenage nervous breakdown
Its a teenage nervous breakdown
Welcome to the land of milk and honey
This is where your braves died to be free
Living in those days for love or money
Left your heart and soul at wounded knee
History and time are all you have now
You were free from sea to shining sea
But thats no matter to the folks who live here
You only ride your ponies on t.v.
Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
eEverything youll ever need
America, America
America, America
All your pride was wasted aint that funny
You never tried to bite the feeding hand
Welcome to this land of milk and honey
Where they keep you fenced on burning sand
War dance for the customers on fridays
Birthrights up for sale in tourist stores
Carved your land and faces on your mountains
Crazy horse can never tie the score
Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
Everything youll ever need
America, America
America, America
America, America
Send him to the fields, send him to the wars
Send him on down to slave on the farms
Steal his land, rob his soul
Send him on down to dig that hole
Give him no hope, give him no trial
Put him in chains, break that smile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Listen to him singin, hear him wail
You wouldnt do that to a whiteboy
You wouldnt do that to a whiteboy
You wouldnt do that to a whiteboy
Give him no peace, give him no rest
Teach him to believe your God is the best
Sail him away, to the promised land
Send him on down into his masters hand
Take his woman, take his child
Take him on down to the murder mile
Pull that barge, tote that bale
Whats that song you hear him wail
Now you wonder why hes an angry man
Why theres fire in your fathers land
And wonder now what tomorrow will bring
Will you hear him screamin, will you hear him sing.
Close up the bar you know the gates of the brewery
She's out there every night
And she sure ain't drinkin' tea
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
But she's got this habit now and it sure is gettin' bad
Chorus:
That whiskey drinkin' woman
Is makin' a poor man out of me
She's got bottles in the kitchen
Even got them in my bed
Most times I see her now
She's three parts out of her head
Don't know where I went wrong
I sure try to treat her right
But it sure upsets me
Seein' her juiced up every night.
Chorus:
Help me solve this problem
Wont you help me find the key
The way that things are going
I'll have to buy the distillery
She just stands there smiling
With a whiskey in each hand
Got to think of something
Don't know how much I can stand
Chorus:
Got to get myself together, start working something out
Maybe if I tried some booze, I'd know what it's about
I love that woman, she's the best one that I had
She's got this habit now
And it sure is gettin' bad.
Im preserving myself with make-up
Lookin in the mirror
Im preserving my life, I can take it
Shinin in the spotlight
Preservation, lookin in the mirror
Preservation, but they dont know that Im scrapin it all off
Every night
Im reserving my rights, reputation
Livin in a movie, its keepin me lookin right
When the secret is out to the public
Seein is believin, they still wanna be me at night
When the parts get shorter, the parties get harder
But thats alright
Preservation, lookin in the mirror
Preservation, but they dont know that Im scrapin it off
Every night
Theyre linin up to make their entrance
When the words out Im in town, theyre not nice girls
But thats alright
Theyre lookin so much better when the lights go down
But nice girls is just a frame of mind
Preservation, lookin in the mirror
Preservation, but they dont know that Im scrapin it off
Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me
The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you wont have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For Id been in the arms of my best friends wife
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternitys near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ovre my bones
She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me
Oh, the scaffold is high and eternitys near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
Let me in your life
Open up the door
Let me in your heart
Give me the key
Youre the only one
Ill ever want
Show me the way
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key

Too far gone
You know how I feel
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key

Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown, he lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children in his cabin, broken down
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
He looked for work and money and he walked a ragged mile
Your children are so hungry that they don't know how to smile
Your baby's eyes look crazy and they're tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy, now, they're tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and you wonder why
With every breath that you breathe
The rats, they've got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare
The rats, they've got your flour, bad blood, it got your mare
Is there anyone that knows? Is there anyone that cares?
You prayed to the Lord above to please, send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above to please, send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell you that you ain't got no friend
Your baby's a cryin' louder now, it's poundin' on your brain
Your baby's cryin' louder now, it's poundin' on your brain
Your wife's screams are a stabbin' you, like dirty, drivin' rain
Your grass is turning black and there's no water in your well
Your grass is turning black, there's no water in your well
You spent your last, lone dollar on them seven, shotgun shells
Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness, a cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on your shotgun that's hangin' on the wall
Your brain, it is a bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain, it is a bleedin' and your legs just can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun that you're holdin' in your hand
There's seven breezes blowin' all around the cabin door
Seven breezes blowin' all around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out like the ocean's pounding roar
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
Seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
Tell me that you love me
Even though Im far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
Well, Im not new to this
Held on before when I should have let go
The mistakes that you make
Keep comin round like a family ghost
I just wanna know
Am I moving in or heading for the coast
She said:
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day
I dont know what to do
Im all dressed up no place to go
Sailing against the wind, cant figure it out
Which way it will blow
Show me now
Im lost at sea Im sinking below
Help me now
Tell me, tell me
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Sent a telegram today
Tomorrow you'll be on your way
Could be memphis or l.a.
No questions just get out and play.
Wake up call to catch the plane
You know you're on the road again
Someone's bangin' in your head
Why did you get so late to bed.
Runnin' late and feelin' bad
That breakfast was the worst you've had
Make the gate no time to spare
Before you know you're in the air.
747 flies us high
Much higher than we're meant to be
You're six miles high but feelin' down
You wish you could be on the ground.
Find your bags and walk for miles
The customs man is waitin' there
Immigration cause delay
You wonder if you'll ever play.
Limousine is standin' by
We get inside and drive a while
F.m. station soundin' good
And gettin' better every mile.
Hotel lobby looks the same
With all the same old girls in town
Press reception takes the day
With all the same old things to say
Need your picture smile this way
And will you tell me what you play
(part 2 so you wanna be a rock'n'roll star)
Roger mcguinn/chris hillman
So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star
Just listen now to what i say
Get yourself an electric guitar
And take some time and learn to play.
(part 3 sound check)
Nazareth
Your roadies call to say ok
The soundcheck can get underway
Soundcheckover, had some fun
A waste of time for everyone
Time has come to start the show
It's boogie time for everyone
Check guitars before you go
They're close enough for rock n roll
The lights are low,
The crowd is high,much higher than
They're meant to be
We take the stage and start to play
The lights come up for all to see
(part4 here we are again)
Nazareth
Here we are again, singin' the same old songs
Lookin for someone who will sing along
Here we are again playin' the same old scenes
Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams
Here we are again facing the same old sights
Swingin my sweet chariot low
Gotta make it home to georgia
Excise lawman on my trail
Im a silver dollar forger
I see a road block on my right
Engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.
Twenty miles from that georgia state
I can hear the sirens wailing
If only I can cross that line
And leave the police trailing
I see a red light at my rear
Now Im sweatin cold steel fear
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.
Im tired of all this running
Hiding from the light
I want to walk out in the sun
Ill soon be home I can see the clay
Ill soon be in atlanta
If only I can hold that line
I can live just how I want to
I see the state line in my lights
Engine take me through the night
Hey sailor, what you think, hey buy a girl a drink
That was the first thing she said to me
I was on dry land but I was back at sea
She was so pretty but she was so mean
Cmon boys, Im sure youve been
Chorus:
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Hey mama whats your name, hey whats it matter
You just tied up from your long voyage
Im sure gonna make you feel better
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin her duty now its understood
Chorus:
Hey lady, whats your game, hey can I play it
Everybody knows when the price is right
So just come out and say it
She was a beauty she was so good
When willie met ronnie he was runnin up a track
He was bent down, burned out, carryin a sack
Come on boy, you got to stop and help me some
And keep this money hidden when the police come
Ronnie was shiverin and makin funny sounds
He was lookin like a fox
That was runnin from the hounds
Sure little buddy, I can lighten up your load
You half it up, I'll hit it up, I'll take it down the road
Never had a better combination been planned
Cos willie was a roadie with a rock n? roll band
They were heads back, celebratin, drinkin moonshine
Heads down, here we go across another state line
Tanked up and bullet proof
They couldnt give a monkeys
Damn if he didn't hide the money in a drum case
Pack em up, hit em up, do another show
The robber and the roadie got a long way to go
Willie and ronnie
Anytime they wanted they would pull another job
Anywhere they found a place
And it was fat enough to rob
If ronnie saw the police he would make a little sign
Then willie stuck the money in the bands back line
In the main racks, bass stacks
Anywhere he thought it could
Be hidden out of sight
Until the finished out in hollywood
Split it down the middle
When they took it out the sound
The robber and the roadie got enough to go around
Willie and ronnie
The robber and the roadie
Forty seven days and they had only one to go
When the telegram arived
To say the band wouldn't show
The crowd was getting nasty and it turned into a rage
The bottles and the bodies started coverin the stage
Then the cops came running in
And breaking up the riotin
When they saw the money falling
Out the back of everything
Hey little buddy think it's time to run and duck
The robber and the roadie could be runnin out of luck
Willie and ronnie had to skip it out of town
They were sittin by the highway like jackson browne
They were stickin out their thumbs
In the middle of the night
When they saw the car comin with the spinnin red light
Wide eyed, tongue tied feelin pretty stranded
No use in runnin they were caught red handed
Pull em in, lock em up, put em in a row
The robber and the roadie got nowhere to go
Willie and ronnie
The robber and the roadie
We got state police and the fbi
Willie and ronnie
You get a big reward
If you can make these boys mamas cry
The robber and the roadie
We got the national guard and the bear in the sky
Willie and ronnie
You get a big reward if you can make these mothers cry
Revenge is sweet and I can't wait
Walk down the street, girl don't be late
Now I don't want your sympathy
So don't go sheddin no tears
For evry wrong that you did to me
Ill give you back in fear
Now it's too late for apologies
Youve been thru this trick before
A million lies that you laid on me
You knocked me down on the floor
Im gonna get you back
Its just a matter of time
Its a grudge I'll nurse
Ill pay you back in kind, you'll find
You had the chance to put things right
But you preferred to be cruel
Im sick of pleadin on my knees
Im tired of watchin you drool
Im gonna get you back
Its just a matter of time
This is one grudge I'll nurse
Ill pay you back in kind, you'll find
Revenge is sweet and I can't wait
Walk down the street, girl don't be late
Im gonna get you back
Its just a matter of time
This is one grudge I'll nurse
Ill pay you back in kind, you'll find
Revenge is sweet, revenge is sweet

Countdowns starting, now the goins gettin? rough
I give you my lovin? but I guess it aint enough
Once upon a time you were proud I was your man
Now your low on affection and I get it when I can
When your friends all visit and they see me comin? through
There's a voice from the crowd sayin? who the hell are you? ? Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?
Wanna be strong, try to put you in your place
I show a little love, get the sand in my face
I try to get up, always something goin? down
Caught in the middle of your merry go round
The wise men say I should leave well alone
But the same wise men just call when you are home
Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?
About....
The wise men say I should leave well alone
But the same wise men just call when you are home
Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?
Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?
Theres a paper sun
In a paper sky
Theres an empty place
And I dont know why
That paper sun
In that paper sky
Cant help me now shes gone
Im on my own
Cant help me now, Im all alone
Theres a painted moon
In a painted night
Theres an empty plate
And it dont seem right
That painted moon
In that painted night
Cant help me now shes gone
Im on my own
Cant help me now, Im all alone
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Cant bring her back
She dont want me at all
Theres a falling star
And it wont touch down
Theres and empty face
Another lonely clown
That falling star that wont touch down
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Cant bring her back
She dont want me at all
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Cant bring her back
She dont want me at all
And all the pain
And all the rain that falls
Cant bring her back
She dont want me at all..ll..ll
Slim jim was a stool pidgeon
On the payroll of the f.b.i.
Reverend fred sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the kid was a gunslinger
Edgar wallace was a dead ringer
Me, Im just a rocknroll singer
Keyhole pete was a keen watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James joyce was a mudslinger
Jesus christ was a forgiver
Me, Im just a rocknroll singer
Im not fakin it
Foolin myself that Im makin it
Im not fakin it
Tricky dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doomwatcher
Predicted when were gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Sings a sad song for lonely women
Sings about women to lonely men
Sings a peace song to a soldier
Sings about loneliness to a friend
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart
Sings a melody to haunt you
And some words to make you cry
If youre sad shell make you happy
When youre down shell take you high
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart
Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a night woman of my dreams
And I saw her glidin on a moon beam
Silver stardust in her eyes
In the way she leaves her sighs
Last night I fell asleep
Thought I heard her voice begin to speak
My mind is in distress
On my cheek I felt her breath
I could feel her bodys warmin glow
My frozen blood begn to flow
Shes a night woman of my dreams
And I saw her glidin on a moon beam
Comes, stays, then disappears
In the morning sun my vision clears
I could smell the roses in her hair
But when I awoke she was not there
Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream
Oooh, oooh, night woman of my dream
Oooh, oooh,shes a night woman of my dream
She came from new york
Seems like a bright spark
Knew all the answers to the game
Moved to a new town
Soon pushed her way around
But youre a lady just the same
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Moved with the wrong pack
Hard headed, well stacked
Drop her guard if you drop her name
Made all the wrong moves
Knew all the lines to use
Too many got burned in her flame
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
Like a new york broken toy
Since the news got around
Someone I brought up town
Needed a friend but no one came
She tried to change her views
But still she wasnt bad news
Dont ever lose at your own game
She went the wrong way
Tryin to catch that boy
He only used her
Then he broke her like a toy
I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne
I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own
Oh i know you are the king
And you'll say what is wrong
I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead
You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head
You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood
And the time has come for you to die
And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know i'm the chosen one
I don't believe what you bequeth
And i must do what must be done
You say you're the only king
I know that she dont like me
She knows that I dont care
I could mistreat and bad mouth that woman
Turn around and shed be there
She aint got no pride she dont even try to hide
What she does
Its a buzz
To be seen in your limosine
Shell do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rockn roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Her heads full of rock n roll dreams
Shes exactly what she seems
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Hangin around hotel bars
Droppin someones name
Usin those lines that you heard before
Playin the same old games
She aint got no style
Eyes that never smile
Feel like youre on trial
She aint worth while
To be seen in your limosine
Shell do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Her heads full of rocknn roll dreams
Shes exactly what she seems
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
She wants to interview
Says the world should know your views
With someone you can see right through
Shes just comin on
Tryin to pretend that its
Just a yawn
Ah, come on
See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty love's burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love that's a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love that's a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why
Juliet look what love has done to you
When I was younger I used to understand
That when you're with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me that's the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.
What do you think about you're changin' times
'cause when I'm with you I just can't make up my mind
Since I met you don't know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just what's goin' on
Just can't get myself thinkin' straight
I'm all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right
Someday baby I'm going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me baby
Don't make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
You're drivin' me half crazy
Can't make up my mind what to do about you.
Tellin' myself that time is on my side
You're gettin' this feelin' that my mind's on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel I'm trapped in a spin
Don't know how to end, can't think of where to begin
She don't care I know she don't even try
But when she turns it on
You know she gets me so high.
She's a lady that's making my life a sin
You know that I'm runnin' in a losin' race
There ain't no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes you're goin' through
They're drivin' me half crazy
I want to hold you in my arms ¡®till you say ¡°turn me loose¡±
I want to do little things to you ¡®till you say ¡°it ain't no use¡±
I want to wake you every morning with a good morning kiss
I want to kiss you to sleep the same way cause i, i know you like this
I want to do everything for you
Cause that's all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like i love you
And i love ya, love ya, love ya
I want to say sweet things to you ¡®till you say i've said enough
I want to stand right by your side when the goin' gets tough
I want to mend your broken heart till you say the hurt is gone
I want tostay with you always so that you won't be alone
I want to do everything for you
Cause that's all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like i love you
And i love ya, love ya, love ya
I want to work for you every day ¡®till you say ¡°come home and rest¡±
I want to buy you pretty little things so you can look your best
I want to take you every where so the world can see what i got
I want to treat you with tender love ¡®till you say i've got to stop
I want to do everything for you
¡®cause that's all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like i love you
And i love ya, love ya, love ya
I want to do everything for you
Cause that's all that a man can do
When he loves a woman like i love you
Go out and have your habit,
Keep on takin it
Keep on fakin it
Youre the one whose heart grows cold
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.
Go out and have your habit
Youre the one thats takin it
Youre the one thats fakin it
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold
Youre the one whose hearts grown cold.
I touch your lips with my fingertips
I hang on every breath you take
You dont need me like,
I need you
You have your heartaches to climb
Everyday, I just hope and pray
I just hope that you still have,
That you still have your dreams.
Come down and tell me that its better
Youre the one whos choosin it
Youre the one whos losin it
Youre the one whos got no soul,
Goin? down
Goin? down, down, down, down, down

It was a red hot night night in mobile
Sweat glistened on the reverends chin
His mohair suit was shinin
He told us all about sin
It could be wall to wall in wall street
We could be livin hand to mouth
Jesus loved a yankee
But God saved the south
Across the street in the pool hall
Bubba put the eight ball down
Its a high five celebration
They passed the jack around
Its wall to wall in wall street
Were livin hand to mouth
Jesus loved a yankee
But God saved the south
God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Shut your mouth
Some long haired boys with guitars
Playin behind the chicken wire
They're goin up to new york city
Gonna sing about atlantas fire
It could be wall to wall in wall street
We could be livin hand to mouth
Jesus loved a yankee
But God saved the south
And God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
And God saved the south
So,yankee boy shut your mouth
And God saved the south
Yankee boy shut your mouth
Yes, God saved the south
So, yankee boy shut your mouth
God saved the south

Fat man at the window
Bet you know why
Fat man at the window
Nobody wants to buy
Fat man, fat man, fat man
Nobody wants to know him
Fat man
Fat man at the mirror
Don't let it break easy
Fat man at the mirror
Got no one to please
Fat man, fat man, fat man
Nobody wants to know him
Fat man
Nobody wants to talk to him
Walk with him, be seen with him
Nobody wants to speak to him
Be with him, look like him
Fat man at the window

Fat man at the window
Nobody wants to buy
Fat man, fat man, fat man
Nobody wants to know him
Fat man
Nobody wants to talk to him
Walk with him, be seen with him
Nobody wants to speak to him
Now you say you're leaving
Leaving me without a friend
How can you do what you're doing to me
How can you say you want to be free of me
Now you say it's over
And your walkin out my door
Tellin me you're going away for good
Never coming back and I'll never see you again
Chorus:
You left me here with my empty arms
My empty rooms
And my empty heart is crying
Nothing is left for me now you're gone
Here we are in the west
And our cars are glistenin
The bear he roars in the east
But we aint listenin
We wont play games in his backyard
But we let him build his wall
We say our God is on our side
Hope hes listenin to us all
While we talk
Hes gettin dressed, hes lookin for his thrills
Hes gettin dressed to kill
We got eyes in the stars
But we dont care what they see
We put a man on the moon
We all see it on t.v.
We all protest about his bombs
He hopes we keep it going
And while we rest hes marchin on
His fuse has started glowin
While we talk
Hes gettin dressed, hes lookin for his thrills
Hes gettin dressed to kill
What have you got to hide at home
His arms are stained but never empty
The things that you think you own
Are only for the few
Dont you think its time, dont you think its time
We got ready, we got ready
We got right on our side
So our leaders say today
Count the size of the threat
We can slide a different way
Our planes are flyin in your sky
We know just what theyre sayin
You see the writing on the wall
Your nerves are tearin,frayin
While we talk
Hes gettin dressed
Hes lookin for his thrills
Hes gettin dressed to kill
Hes gettin dressed
Hard times comin' so the messenger said
Better guard your liquor like your own homestead
Took it under cover, then we took it underground
In temptation, we had another round
Governor came out, eleven or twelve
Under so much pressure, couldn't help himself
Word got out to the national guard
Spread like a fire in a lumber yard
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
Cavalry came and we were tumblin'dice
Wouldn't let them in, 'cos they wouldn't ask nice
Drank to the health of friends and foe
Thanks to the Lord but he never did show
Second wind gone as the second wave came
Manned in command, in the president's name
Kept at bay, kept knockin' at the door
Couldn't care less 'cos we all wanted more
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
Dried up supplies till the morning sun
Never realized where it all could've gone
Listen up boys, it's plain to see
Hell is merely sobriety
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol
The saddle up, boys
You better pray, boys
Saddle up, boys
You better pray, boys
Can you help me
Help me get out of this place
Slow sedation
Ain't my style ain't my face
Givin? me a number
Nine, seven, eight
Gimme back my name
Crazy
But I don't think that I can see
You can hear them
Only talkin? at me
Livin? on the outside
Lookin? inside to be free
Feel so good for awhile
You don't know why
Cry while you lie
You are true...you are true...you are true
Save me
Is there nothing that I can use
Please believe me
Am I conforming to your views
Promise you anything
Watch me cryin? out to you
Gimme back my name
Let me make my statement
(lead)
Crazy.....crazy.....crazy.....crazy
Crazy.....a suitable case for treatment
Crazy,crazy......just a suitable case for treatment
Crazy,crazy
Another day alone, another pain to hide
Its gettin hard to hold, it's hurtin deep inside
Livin for no-one, given no space to run
There's gotta be someone you gotta keep holdin on
It wasn't meant to last, you werent meant to fall
And all the photographs you want to burn them all
But goin down easy isn't so crazy now
Nobody needs you but don't let it get you down
Cover your heart
Don't let anyones lovin get a hold of you
Cover your heart
Cause it never does nothin it's supposed to do
You used to have it all there all a love could be
But now the dreams you shared are just a memory
For all the wrong reasons you want it all, even now
Caught on the rebound turnin you inside out
Cover your heart
Don't let anyones lovin get a hold of you
Cover your heart
Cause it never does nothin it's supposed to do
Cover your heart
For all the wrong reasons you want it all, even now
Caught on the rebound turnin you inside out
Cover your heart
Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please
He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me
He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me
He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good-looking cause he's so hard to see
Presidents and peace spreading poets
Getting gunned down in the streets
Shown to us on our prime time screens
For our tea time treat
Lunatics we voted for denying
Everything that they swore
We sit around and shout about it
But we dont do nothing more
Drafted for police action
But they decided on a war
Telling us we were saving mankind
Why dont you ask cambodia
We were solving it with marijuana
We were sure that we could
Always leavin it to someone else
Just knocking on wood
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Well you say you got a say so
But youre knowin that it aint so
And you turn away
You think its safer to ignore it
But the score is your children have to pay
Everybody wants better
Everybody talkin bout it
Are we wastin time
Gotta stop only lookin, talkin
Were all guilty of the crime
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
We gotta move, we got everything to lose
Were all headed for the front
But everybodys fightin for a good address
Its time we made the changes
Or well be burnin with the rest
We just aint communicatin and I dont
Mean conversations on the telephone
When nero starts to fiddle this time
Theres a lot more gonna burn than rome
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
So your plane was late
You missed that date
And your horse can't win
So you drink another bottle of gin
And your shares went down
They touched the ground
And your best laid plans
Have slipped right out of your hands
So you think you're fat
Well that's a fact
But your well ran dry
So you had to walk another mile
Think about them, think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who never saw
So your car wont start
Needs a special part
But you made your choice
Now you're stuck with all your big boys toys
Now the words around
Youve gone aground
And youve lost your wind
Youll never see your ship come in
Think about them, think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Mothers, fathers
Sisters, brothers
Old man, young man
Whale song, all gone
Where did we go wrong
Think about those wholl never see another
Those wholl never see another
Those wholl never see
I got a maseratti two by two
With snakeskin upholstery
Charge account at goldblatz
But I aint got you
I got a closet full of clothes
And no matter where I goes
You keeps a ring in my nose
But I aint got you
I got a tavern, a liquor store
I play the numbers, 444
I got mojo don't you know
Im all dressed up with no place to go
I got women to the right of me
I got women to the left of me
I got women all around me
But I aint got you, no I aint got you
I got a tavern, and a liquor store
I play the numbers, 444
I got mojo don't you know
But I aint got you
No, I aint got you
No, I aint got you
Now you say that youre leavin
Well it cant be too soon
And you spend all of my money
You knocked my guitar out of tune.
Well you say youre sick and tired
Tired of having me around
And you call me cheatin liar
You drove my car into the ground.
And Ill be glad when youre gone
Yes Ill be glad when youre gone
And when you walk out that door
Darlin please dont come back no more
Now I wish Id never known you
And I wish wed never met
I was drunk you gave me whiskey
When I was ill you called the vet.
Well you say that its over
And you think youll bring me down
If you come back lookin for me
Dont wanna live she said
No more to give she said
I cant forgive she said
You love another, you love another
Cant live alone she said
Left off the phone she said
Cant face the storm she said
You love another, you love another
Dont make me cry she said
Just let me die she said
Kiss me goodbye she said
You love another, you love another
Dont take the blame she said
And I can go insane she said
Never the same she said
You love another, you love another
You love another, you love another
You love aother--my heart is tearing
You love another
You love another--no longer caring
You love another
You love another--my heart is tearing
You love another--no longer caring
Someone givin? you a hard time
You got on the attack
But some never had a chance in hell
Cos you were on their back
The news spread like a holiday
Bout your accident? no roses, no wish you wells
That aint money well spent
I wanna know what you were thinkin
As your walls came down
Surprised eyes of your sacrifice
Or just that you'd been found
If they done to you what you could do
Youd be torn apart
You haven't suffered quite enough boy
But it's a start
You had it comin? comin? to you
You had it comin? really had it comin? to you
My, my, funny time don't fly
When you got you to yourself
And your disease makes you I'll at ease
Bad for your health
Then all these questions with your patient replies
Not foolin? anyone
If not for you only strong survive,if they run
You had it comin? comin? to you
You had it comin? really had it comin? to you
Someone givin? you a hard time
You go on the attack
Some never had a chance in hell
Cos you were on their back
If they done to you what you could do
Youd be torn apart
You haven't suffered quite enough boy
But it's a start
You had it comin? comin? to you
I never asked you for money
I only needed some time
You took more than you gave and you sat on the line
I never asked you for nothing
I only looked for a chance
I only needed some help I never asked for this dance
Now youre holding the aces
The world is under your feet
Therell come a day when you smile and you wont look so sweet
You never gave me no favors
I never owed you a thing
Youll never know why you dream what tomorrow will bring
You dont believe in us...you dont believe in us
You only wanted our mind
You dont believe in us...you dont believe in us
Youre only payin our time
You never gave me no answers
You never showed me no clues
The day will come when Ill watch you take a walk in my shoes
You never saw when I caught it
You never opened your eyes
Youll never see where you stand when your heads in the skies
Sometimes youre feeling sad and lonely
And things aint goin right for you
Youre looking for somebody
So tired of bein? all alone
Dont throw your life away, remember
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
And in the end when its all over
Youre not the same you used to be
You know it wasnt easy
But with experience youll see
Youll make it out if you remember
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
Just believe in the power deep inside of you
Hold on and things will be alright
And in the end when its all over
Youll be the winner on the night
When youre down and fighting from the corner
And you feel that theres no way out
I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I feel...feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah
I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah
How many miles to go

Victoria, victoria I could love you for a hundred years
And still want more of ya!
Its been a long time now since high school days
But when Im with you, darling you still amaze me
No one could ever come before ya
God knows how much I still adore ya
My victoria, victoria, I could love you for a hundred years
And still want more of ya!
Hey little girl when we first met
I was shaking so hard you really made me sweat
You opened up my eyes and showed me
You took me by surprise and floored me
We walked to school together
Just a boy and a girl
We talked through all kinds of weather
About giving our love a whirl
Do you remember at the high school dance
When the beach boys sang about good vibrations
My victoria, victoria, I could love you for a hundred years
And still want more of ya!
We walked to school together
Just a boy and a girl
We talked through all kinds of weather
About giving our love a whirl
We were cruisin the strip every friday night
Headin for the beach in a two tone torc flight
First time I turned and saw you
God only knows I love you
Never anyone before you
Dont you know I still adore you
We only came here to play rocknroll
Share some times with some people we know
Drink some wine
Give us some time
We aint no wise boys we aint no fools
We tried to play clean and keep to the rules
We take and we give, just playin our gig
But we got laid over
Ya we was done over
Somebody tell us whats goin down
Dont need another vancouver shakedown
Six miles high, six miles along
Chasin the sun weve come to sing you a song
Deliver our goods
Were just rocknroll dudes
All these behind us, and one more to go
Fly to vancouver, to do the lastshow
Its got to be good, like we know that it should
But we got laid over
Ya we was doneover
Somebody tell us whats goin down
Dont need another vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
We only came here to play rocknroll
Share some times with some people we know
Drink some wine

But we got laid over
Ya we was done over
Somebody tell us whats goin down
Dont need another vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown

Look out the left the captain said
The lights down there
That's where we'll land
Saw a falling star burnin'
High above the Las Vagas sand
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailer
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
But you've got that look so critical
Can't talk to you baby you know I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven, down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on light the candle in this heart of mine
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
I'm drinking sweet champagne
Got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, can't drum you out of my mind
And singing, "Goodbye baby, baby goodbye
Ooh, ooh, love is blind"
Up go the flaps down go the wheels
Hope you got your heat turned on baby
Hope they finally fixed your automobile
Hope it's better when we meet again, baby
Star bright, star bright
You've got the loving that I like
Turn this crazy bird around
Should not have got on this flight tonight
You got lines guaranteed to please
You got stories you got boyfriends to tease
Money to burn
You got everythin you need
Clever girl, never girl
Talkin bout love
Rio de janeiro on your daddys card
Party invitations you don't find it hard
Lovers to burn
Matches in your book
Cruiser girl, user girl
Talkin bout love, talkin bout love
Talkin bout you and me
Talkin bout love, talkin bout love
That's what you get
When your hearts on fire for me
That's what you get
When your loves for hire
Penthouse suite
Dance and never stop
What's the matter
Don't cha wanna be on top
Nothin to learn
Everythin to lose
Driftin in the streetlight
Dancin in the twilight zone
Dreamin of a spotlight
Dont wanna go back home
Joe and his buddies are hangin around
Bad reputation all over the town
All they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk
Lucy and debbie and donna and joyce
Bad reputation the same as the boys
All they ever wanna do
Iswalk, walk, walk, walk
Standin on the sidwalk
Starin at the storefront signs
Waitin at the bus stop, truck stop
The hurry up and wait stop
They dont mind
Tony and billy and johnny and sam
Struttin and showin they dont give a damn
All they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk
Cindy and sunny and sally and sue
Thinkin theyre somethin, theyre better than you
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk
Theyre lookin forward and movin backwards fast
They gotta have a future
cos sure as hell aint got no past
But in the meantime
Theyre lookin forward and movin backwards fast
They gotta have a future
cos sure as hell they got no past
They always have a good time
They never get a wake up call
Theyre hangin out at maisies and daisies
They always love the crazies
That aint all
Tony and billy and johnny and sam
Struttin and showin they dont give a damn
But all they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk
Cindy and sunny and sally and sue
Thinkin theyre somethin, theyre better than you
All they ever wanna do
Nineteeen years old and as sweet as she can be
Dressed up like a downtown christmas tree
Dancin and hummin a rock-roll melody
Shes the daughter of a well-respected man
Who taught her how to judge and understand
Soon she became a rock-roll music fan
Sweet little rock and roller, sweet little rock and roller
Papa dont have to scold her, says he cant hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Shouldve seen her eyes when the band began to play
Famous singers sang and barred away
Stars performed, she screamed and yelled hooray!
Ten thousand eyes were watching her leave the floor
Five thousand tongues were screaming out more! more!
About fifteen hundred waitin outside the door
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Papa dont have to scold her, says he cant hardly hold her
She never gets any older, sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sweet little rock and roller
Sunshine, every single day
Helps to light my way
And darlin', right before my eyes
It don't come as no surprise
That it's easy
Easy lovin' you
And baby, 'til you came along
There was always something wrong
Around me
There was emptiness of course
But it's alright
And it's easy
Easy lovin' you
And sunshine, having you around
You're the light I never found
And darlin', every minute you're away
But it's brighter
And it's easy
Here she come
Right on time
Tenement mixer
Givin' the hard line
Hammerin' down
Walls of steel
Permanent fixer
It's a bad sign
She's runnin' right over you
Ain't no way to control her
Steamroller
Can't figure you out
She's big trouble
Soul-contractor
Makin' your pain pay double
Don't wanna know
'Bout no last chance
Outta time
Now you're last year's model
She's crawlin' all over you
Still you try to console her
Steamroller
She's rollin' all over you
Try survivin' below her
She's rollin' all over you
Like a head-kickin', ass-whippin', steamin'-demon fast bowler
Steamroller
Here she come
There you go
Boa-constrictor
Takin' it real slow
Price of fame
Down to zero
She's a run-away train
Puttin' on a real show
She's comin' back over you
Like a Bay City roller
Steamroller
Steamroller
Steamroller
Steamroller
Steamroller
Steamroller
Down at the house with the red light
She works from seven till dawn
You'll find her there any time that you like
Some days a week she'll be on
Down at the house with the red light
I was a boy not too sure of myself
When I was first taken down
Down to the house with the red light
Two miles west of town
I paid my fee and I went on in
Into the house with the red light
Room number 10, up the stairs
The key was cold and damp in my hand
Opened the door, heard her say
"Get into my room and sit yourself down"
She lay so white on her shiny brass bed
Ribbons and flowers in her hair
She played my soul and she shattered my head
Could not believe I was there
Down at the house with the red light
I fell in love with that lady
First love I knew she gave me
Seven days a week you can find her
Down at the house with the red light
I fell in love with that lady
I fell in love with that lady
I fell in love with that lady
Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground
Vibrations, are burning my hands
Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands
Defending the need, with a silent scream
For another time, for another dream
Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns
We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
No cheap, clean, is gonna wash away my blues
I need a real good friend, he's gonna give me some clues
The one on the cross, he had it boss he was really gonna spread the news
But the destruct mutt, he's back in business he ain't about to lose
Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now
And the price for life
Is one more run on that chicken wire
As the hero returns, with eyes of fire
To another man to man, sit down you man
Old man don't tell me what you did in your day
I've got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground
Jack boots, hi-jacks, the ray guns and the spray guns
We got them all for free, so look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me, send me down a simple solution
His necktie is bright red
From lookin in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
Hes got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewin on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing
I know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
The rendezvous was neutral
He dont want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said,no way Ive had mine
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five, answered in texas fashion
I know that your oil is black
But the dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Bright red went to his head
Tequila tension rising
This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a
Nervous disposition
Tanned man from the f.e.d.s
Cool mohair buying off the squeeze
Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And i
I only exist to believe
The stars
The stars that I see watching me
Hold me close
Your arms and your love comfort me
The sea
Is deep and it waits endlessly
Oh why
To give just to take it from me
Here we are
We sail on a ship made of dreams
And i
I watch for a sign constantly
The sea
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
Will it seem the same?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, will I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?
Oh, into your passing hands
Please don't destroy your lands
Don't make them desert sands
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, will I be bolder than today?
Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?
Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
But will it seem the same?
Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, will I be bolder than today?
Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?
Oh, into your passing hands
Please don't destroy your lands
Standing on a corner in downtown L.A.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says "too bad, too sad"
You know that he's been dead and gone.
L.A. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home
I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown
Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscow's looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the K.G.B. came on the line.
It's a cold one, bein' sent down
It's gotta be fifty below
Mama here's a postcard to let you know
I'm in a saltmine and looking for coal
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Flyin' across the desert from Texas to Tuscon
But we're headed for a southern star
The captain says it's fine in Havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.
He's a big one, he's got a big gun
I guess we better go along
Mister we've got a gig in Arizona
Second billing to the Rolling Stones
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Stood on in Tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
Shanghai'd in Shanghai
Laid low in 'Frisco
Every song I sings a sad song,
Every note seems out of key,
Every line I write falls out of rhyme,
Since you're far away from me.
Every night I watch the stars fall,
Watch them till Im fast asleep,
But when Im sleeping, Im not dreaming,
Since you're far away from me.
Oh but I need you,
Honest I do,
You know that I miss you,
Ill always miss you.
Every song I hears a sad song,
Every word applies to me,
Loneliness is something I know about,
She would never say where she came from
And yesterday don't matter if it's gone
When the sun is bright
Or on the darkest night
No one knows, she comes and goes
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
No question why she needs to be so free
She'll tell you it's the only way to be
She just can't be chained
To a life where nothing's gained
And nothing's lost at such a cost
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
There's no time to lose, I heard her say
Cast your dreams before they slip away
Tired all the time
Lose your dreams and you will lose your mind
Ain't life unkind
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
Still I'm gonna miss you
Goodbye Ruby Tuesday
Who could hang a name on you?
When you change with every new day
We've got to get it together
You bring the wine, we'll bring the weather
We haven't come to be clever
Let's make it now cause this could be never
Were gonna Razamataz ya tonight
Were gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance
Now that we've come to a showdown
We won't allow you a second to slow down
The moment has come to deliver
You as the taker, and we as the giver
Were gonna Razamataz ya tonight
Were gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance
All of the world loves a raver
We're playin for ravers who savor the flavor
You all appear calm and collected
Razamanazin' you never expected
Were gonna Razamataz ya tonight
Were gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet
Let's see ya dance, dance, dance
Were gonna Razamataz ya tonight
Were gonna razamanaz ya all night
Razamataz razamanaz up on your feet
The phone call was wrong
The i.b.m.s have already gone
Talkins too late
The future has ended now
Cant change our fate
So sorry now
But that dont change a thing anyhow
Let the games begin
The dealer laid hands out that no one can win
What made us this way
Something Im doing or something I say
But could it be a fact
That I never thought Id get caught in the act
And i, I dont know why I still keep
Hangin around when I know that its time
Popped the silo
Pushed the button
Its the big one this time
Doctor strangelove, were all in your movie now
You get no change love
Your bill is too high
The threats on its way
The package from hell that you ordered today
Pray to your sign
Your wish has been granted this time
And i, I dont know why I still keep
Hangin around when I know that its time
Popped the silo
Pushed the button
Please don't Judas me
Treat me as you like to be treated
Please don't blacklist me
Leave me as you'd wish to find me
Don't analyze me, sacrifice me
Please don't Judas me.
Please don't chastise me
Show me just one shred of kindness
Try to help me see
Guide me in my eyes of blindness
Don't despise me, categorize me
Please don't Judas me.
No, no don't Judas me
No, please don't Judas me
Please don't head shrink me
Don't disguise your innuendos
Tell no lies to me
I can see the way the wind blows
Don't debase me, annihilate me
Please don't Judas me.
Please don't number me
Don't betray my trusted promise
Please don't anger me
I find it hard to bear no malice
Don't frustrate me, manipulate me
Please don't Judas me
No, no don't Judas me
Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parkin' sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your left for me?
Well I know you got so many you can choose from
There's always flowers lyin' by your door
I betcha your phone it never stops
Bet you're the queen at the local hops
I bet you get valentines but never keep the score.
Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parkin' sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a space in your heart left for me?
I betcha your phone it never stops
I know your the queen at the local hops
I bet you get valentines but never keep the score
Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parkin' sign says free
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your heart made for me?
Is there a place in your heart made for me?
Is there a place in your heart made for me?

Didnt I make you feel
Like you were the only one
Didnt I give you everthing
That a man possibly can
But all the love I give you
Its never enough
But Im going to show you baby
That a man can be tough
Come on come on come on come on
And take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart
You know youve got it if it makes you feel good
Youre out on the street looking good
And you know deep down in your heart it aint right
And you never never hear me
When I cry for you each night
Sometimes I tell myself I cant stand the pain
But when I hold you in my arms
I say it again
Come on come on come on come on
And take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart
You know youve got it if it makes you feel good
Sometimes I tell myself I cant stand the pain
But when I hold you in my arms I say it again
Come on come on come on come on
And take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart
You know youve got it
So take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
Piece of my heart
Take it take another little
Piece of my heart
Break it break another little
Piece of my heart
Have it have another little
I say black and you say white
I turn to the left, you move to the right
No matter what I do
Im always on the other side of you
Im always on the other side of you
I want to play but you like to fight
I rise in the morning, you hide in the night
No matter what I do
Im always on the other side of you
Like paralell lines, so near yet so far
Like north pole and south pole, were oceans apart
Im always on the other side of you
You let go, I try to connect
You always remember, I try to forget
Im beggin forgiveness
But its gonna take a miracle
cos Ive been lyin
She dont wanna know and I think its impossible
Said open up woman
I know that youre sad and lonely
If I could hold you
We could make it again
Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
Give me a chance
No more lyin
No more secrets
If I could make you
I would take you away and cover up your sadness
I keep sayin open up woman
But you dont wanna hear my promise
If I cant have you
Then I dont need a heart
Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
And give me a chance
Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Livin in silence
Of my own makin
Though she wont show me
I know that her heart and soul are achin
Open up woman
I know that youre lost and let down
Im gonna keep tryin
stead of losin again
Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
And give me a chance
Open up woman
When youre on the run
Lookin for a friend you can depend on
Your phone it never rung for days that
When youre on the run
Lookin for a friend you can depend on
Your phone it never rung for days that
When youre on the run
When youre on the runused
Used to make a stand
Right up until the day that you were wanted
Then you had to move
cause you were hunted
Anywhere you hide
Tough to find a place to lay your head down
Your phone it never rung for days that
When your on the run
When youre on the run
You better keep lookin behind you
When youre on the run
When youre on the run
Look out for the lies theyre comin down the line
Love upon the wire you gotta find out
Youre phone it never rung
Aint nothin so good
As a sunday morning
When the day is dawnin? kinda makes you feel good
There aint nothing so fine
As a lazy weekend
Just hangin out with your best friend
There aint nothing so good
There aint nothing so good as a good time
Theres nothing so right as the right time
I said please ? dont count on me
Said please ? dont count on me
Theres nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There aint nothing so good
Aint nothin so strong
As the strength of a good love
I cant get enough
Cant ever get too much love
There aint nothing so right
As the sound of your voice
Im gonna make it my choice
And get into something good
There aint nothing so good as a good time
There aint nothing so right as the righttime
I said please ? dont count on me
Said please ? dont you count on me
Theres nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There aint nothing so good
Sail away

Sail away, sail away
Sail on far
Gotta find a way
Into your heart
Aint nothin so good
As a sunday morning
When the day is dawning
Kinda makes you feel good
There aint nothing so fine
As a lazy weekend
Just hangin out with your best friend
There aint nothing so good

Stopped in fright at a traffic light
Red eyes staring me out
Strange feelings comin' down tonight
Can't quite figure it out
Fit your alibi before your crime
No need in serving no time
Case you scam, or you'll get rammed
Stretched out on that line
Hangin' out at a shooting site
Cold turkey calling a tune
All the answers coming late tonight
Try to look like you're immune
In your eyes you can feel the heat
But the feelings outa touch
You're working on just a holding on
You're hurtin' oh so much
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Call off your dogs 'cause i am no fox
Turn off your white light
My alibi is rock tight
Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me in
Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit
Is wearin', mighty thin
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?
Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a star
And the perfume he wore lingers on the king's road
Like a whore
Legs wrapped around a plastic stool
He's making more in one day
Than you've had.......hot, hot dinners
Call out your legions, the savior is loose
Telling true stories you know that ain't no use
Your empire is burning you can feel the smell
Your hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machine
Is looking mean
And should be working well
Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
My white bicycle
My white bicycle
Riding all around the street
Four o'clock and they're all asleep
I'm not tired and it's so late
Moving fast everything looks great
My white bicycle
My white bicycle
See that man, he's all alone
Looks so happy but he's far from home
I ring my bell, smile at him
Then I kick over his garbage bin
My white bicycle
My white bicycle
The rain comes down but I don't care
The wind is blowing in my hair
Seagulls flying in the air
My white bicycle
Policeman shouts but I don't see him
They're one thing I don't believe in
To find some charge but it's not leavin'
They lift both hands, his head in disgrace
Shines no light upon my face
Through the darkness, we still speed
My white bicycle and me
My white bicycle
My white bicycle
My white bicycle
One more promise soaked in rye whiskey
One more word that bites the dust on some bar room floor
Im the man who travels round doing...
Hey, we dont talk about that
Ill get the favor done for you
No one will ever know
Then Ill run to mexico
Cold as stone my eyes fall on another
Just another name thats runnin through my mind
At your request Ill do whatever you require
You give me the light, I supply the fire
Then Ill burn for mexico
Pretty senorita, she lies to me
Smiles sweetly in the morning when I wake up cold sweating
cause some day Ill be in the sights
One more call when someone finds a target
Only guarded whispers never mentions names
Money on the line will be just fine...
Youll never be involved
And even if a clue shows youll never know
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Someone woke me up again last night
Talkin to me about my last time
Dont tell me I know its late
Please, please lay me down a line
Pick me up before I start to fall
Never let your dreams grow small
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Talkin to my lover, she was out
It was independence day
Dont be nervous , you can hold me tight
Someone turned the light out on the stairs
Was it just the wind I heard
Just another helping hand
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
Take me back down the yellow brick road
Let me get my ticket to your heart
Strangers hidin on my land
Could it be its keepin me apart
Give me time dont you gimme no love
Let the sunshine in your heart
Love hurts, love scars, love wounds and marks
Any heart not tough or strong enough
To take a lot of pain, take a lot of pain
Love is like a cloud holds a lot of rain.
Love hurts. Oooh,love hurts
I'm young I know, but even so
I know a thing or two. I've learned from you.
I've really learned a lot, really learned a lot.
Love is like a flame, it burns you when it's hot.
Love hurts. Oooh, love hurts
Some fools think of happiness,
Blissfulness, togetherness
Some fools fool themselves, I guess,
But they're not fooling me.
I know it isn't true, I know it isn't true.
Love is just a lie, made to make you blue.
Love hurts. Oooh, love hurts.
Oooh, love hurts.
Theres a woman in new orleans
Said to love me she was born
But that was friday payday
By sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turn ou she came from...well
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Well I had no luck with women
Thought Id try my hand at cards
So I headed for nevada
Gonna really take them on
But the way the hands were fallin
And the way the money goes
You could say its getting colder
You could say I nearly froze
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
So I started playing guitar
In a southern boogie band
And the ladies I was meeting
Make you want to buy the farm
Gettin tired of saving souvenirs
Dont remind me where theyre from
And the nights come on like magic
In the morning its all gone
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
Two bucks an hour
You can hire a car
You can go most anywhere
That depends on who you are
You can be your own boss
Takin' your own time
The sun shines all the time
California girls look fine
You can truck on down the strip any time of night
Pull an l.a. lady to treat you right
Stay home call her on the phone
Sayin' come on over baby i hate to be alone
L.a. girls in the sunshine
L.a. girls in the rain
I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again
I'm gonna go back again
Every one's in movies
And every one's a star
But most of them are fillin' in time
Workin' in some bar
They sure don't live in bellaire
Like they planned to be
Their names ain't in the sidewalk
For everyone to see
But you can truck on down the strip any night
Pull an l.a. lady to treat you right
Stay home call her on the phone
Sayin' come on over baby i hate to be alone
L.a. girls in the sunshine
L.a. girls in the rain
I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again
I'm gonna go back again
Word gets ¡®round the band's in town
They're bustlin' ¡®round the hall
Readin' last months rolling stone
Talkin' rock and roll
They got all the answers
For everything you say
And even if you pass them by
They gonna tell you anyway
But you can truck on down the strip any time of night
Pull an l.a. lady's gonna treat you right
Stay home call one on the phone
Sayin' come on over baby i hate to be alone
L.a. girls in the sunshine
L.a. girls in the rain
I wanna tell ya, gonna go back again
I got no time to eat
I got no time to sleep
I got a truck full of stuff
Shouldve been there last week
Ive been livin in truck stops
My body feels used
Got the hamburger thats right, yeah
The kentucky fried blues
Flyin high in my cab
Got my foot on the gas
Got to get there tonight
Showin nothin but a pass
Tired of livin in truck stops, have mercy
My body feels used
Got the hamburger, thats right, yeah
Kentucky fried blues
Even in the fast lane
Seems to slow down my brain
Got one hell of a deadline
Riggers do not complain
Tired of livin in truck stops
Lord my body feels used
Got the hamburger thats right yeah, yeah, yeah
Who took the smile out of your face
Who put the tears and sadness in its place
Who took the sun out of your sky
Dont turn around or ask for reasons why
No place to run, nowhere to hide
Its just another love turned bad
Some smoke thats gettin in your eyes
Its just another heartache,just another heartache
Just another hurt to take
Another bridge for you to cross
Its nothing but a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Just another big mistake
Another game you have lost
It aint nothing but a heartache
Always wore your heart out on your sleeve
You said youd always cared and needed to believe
There comes a time to give, there comes a time to take
But a sentimental heart will be the first to break
Dont try to run
Dont try to hide
Its just another love turned bad
I’m gonna go down fightin’
I’m gonna go down fighti’n
Cause I know that I’m right and
I’m gonna go down fighting for our love
I know what you’re thinkin’
You got me up against the wall
But the higher that your flyin’
The further down you gotta fall
Now don’t you be fooled by my shakin’ knees
Cause I can fight dirty, and when I’m scared
I get mean
Chorus:
I’m gonna go down fightin’
I’m gonna go down fightin’
Cause I know that I’m right and
I’m gonna go down fighting for our love
I know you’re thinkin’
That the odds is on your side
But the first thing you gotta learn is
That it just don’t come down to size
I can see the seeds of doubt
Begin to grow on your face
If you wanna back down now
You know that’s no disgrace
Chorus:
Gonna go down fightin’
I’m gonna go down fightin’
Cause I know that I’m right and
Every time I call her name shes right there by my side
Every time that I think its a change
Theres no place left to hide
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It cant be a dream
Every time I blow my love
Shes knockin on my back door
Every time that I tear her clothes
She pulls me down some more
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It cant be a dream
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Scary woman put me under, under her spell
Never tell, if I risk it I ____ her
There still standin, try to get my hand in
But she gets away________one stride
Every day she comes around
Lookin good and tryin to catch my eye
Aint no way to tell her no
I guess I never even thought to try
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It cant be a dream
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Every time I tie her down she wants to let me go
Every time I start to slide
Shes tellin me Im way to slow
This must be for real
This must be for real
This must be for real
It cant be a dream
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
Juicy, juicy, juicy, juicy lucy
I walked into a diner
And the blonde behind the counter
She asked if she could help in any way
Hell, I knew by her smile
Her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company
But as I bought some java
Instead she brought me a cup of chicory
I got those java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Ill drink coffee till I die
Don't pour me water just fill up my cup
You know it takes a lot just to keep me up
Cost may be more than you care to pay
What good is money compared to fightin pain
Don't try to cheat
Its impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay
I got those java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java blues
Coffees got me
You know that I'll stay high
Ill drink coffee till I die
The taste of java is like a cocaine rush
Nobodys gonna stop me from drinkin too much
Down in bolivia the people are insane
They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine
Don't try to cheat
Its impossible to beat
The only pick me up that's here to stay
I got those java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
The coffees got me now..
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
You know that I'll stay high
Ill drink coffee till I die
I got the java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh the coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
If you see my baby
With another man
Keep it a secret if you can
If you see my baby
With another man
Don't tell me even if you can
Bridge:
You know I could not stand the pain
So if you think you are my friend
I hope you never see her
With another man
But if you do don't you understand
(lead)
(bridge)
Shes everything I longed for
She took so long to find
But I'd be lost if she changed her mind
If you see my baby
If you see my baby
If you see my baby
You have your rules and regulations,
You say his love is my salvation
Then talk of faith and segregation,
You say that I must wait,
He will communicate,
I will not join your congregation.
You force me into situations,
Preach bad of sin and fornication,
Forget your sworded celebration,
My heart fills up with rage
Who are you to gauge,
The purpose of my worlds creation.
I cannot see the light your seeing,
I have my own thoughts to believe in,
I will not heed the words your hearing,
I will not be accused, my liberty abused,
You chose the cross that you are bearing.
Y want me to believe the words you read
But I dont believe in what your good book says,
I just believe that when Im dead, Im dead.
You say I must repent,
Bow down and show respect,
We made a promise
But what's the difference
Call me friend, what you calling for
You couldnt take me as I am
But that was only party chat......i ran.
You asked me up here
You said it was gear
So liverpool--but--
We never understood the slang
We couldnt sing it like they sang
But that was carnaby excuses......i ran.
Like rent -a- driver
Insurance freeway
You can never tell
You can only drive because experience
Turns the corner now
See what happens when you leave it
Call me baby, how our love grows
Supremely simple
Like baby, baby, baby
Youre out of time
Shine, shine shine
Don't call me shine
But there's no rhythm to your rhyme......i ran.
Like rent-a-driver
Insurance freeway
You can never tell
You only drive because experience
Turns the corner now
See what happens when you
Break a promise
But what's the difference
Call me friend--what you callin for
You couldnt take me as I am
I had a dream
I had a dream
I saw the mission band,playing on the green
It was the saddest thing,i have ever seen
What did it mean,what did it all mean?
And in my dream,in my same dream
I saw the soldiers marching,on the green
The band played a funeral march
Many a tear was seen
All in my dream,all in my dream
Lead
I heard the lesson read,i heard the choir
I saw the falling leaves,landing everywhere
I saw the family gathered,crying in despair
What can I say she's walking away
From what weve seen
What can I do still loving you
Its all a dream
How can we
Hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems
What can I do she's saying were through
With how it was
What will I try still don't see why
She says the things she does
How can we
Hang on to a dream
How can it really be the way it seems
What can I say she's walking away
From what weve seen
What can I do still loving you
Is it all a dream
How can we
Hang on to a dream
Look at you
Youre the son of the neighborhood strays
You can walk in your prison for days
But youll never get anywhere
Its a pain
But the shine on the edge of your blade
Couldnt give all the waiting away
You were recognized everywhere
Turn away
You are not just ashamed of yourself
Youre a part of the scenery,damned to hell
Cant you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for some of your history
Did you know
That your father said its all wrong
Just to keep it going along
Its a part of our mystery
Its our job, you see
Youll agree
There is no point in letting you go
We can wait till the end of the show
Till the audience fades away
Turn around
You can laugh at the mess in your room
Its a nightmare that never can end for you
Cant you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for part of your history
Did you know
That your father said its all wrong
Just to keep it going along
Its a part of our mystery
Its our job you see
Youll agree
There is no point in letting you go
We can wait till the end of the show
Till the audience fades away
Turn around
You can laugh at the mess in your room
Its a nightmare that never can end for you
Cant you see
We are not going to play at your games
We are not going to ask you for names
Or for part of your history
Did you know
That your father said its all wrong
Just to keep it going along
Just sit yourself down friend
Pull up a chair friend
There aint nobody here friend
But the people you need
Roll yourself a joint friend
Empty your head friend
Make yourself at home friend
This is where you belong
Chorus:
Put your feet up on the fire
If it makes you feel much better
Have a glass of homegrown wine
Dont you think it tastes fine
Tear you away friend
On a planet to space friend
Sometimes I feel Ive been hung on a line,
Wasting my time,
Sometimes I feel Ive been hung upside down,
You turned me around just a fool about you.
Sometimes I feel Ive been left on the moon,
Fed with a spoon,
Sometimes I feel like a dog with no bone,
Or a toad with no stone, just a fool about you.
Sometimes I feel like saying goodbye,
Cause Im living a lie,
Sometimes I feel like a clock with no time,
Or a verse with no rhyme, just a fool about you.
Sometimes I feel like a bird with no wing,
Or a bee with no sting,
Sometimes I feel like a train with no line,
Or a glass with no wine, just a fool about you.
Everybody knows Im a fool about you
Just a fool just a crazy fool,
Everybody knows I can't live without you,
Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am dreaming
Plane Im on flies gently as a bird
Captain said something
But I never heard single word
Here I am flying
Look above you
Ill be watching you
Maybe you wont see me
But soon Ill be flying
Soon Ill be flying home to you
Gazing at the sunrise
Homeland sure looks green far down below
Now were almost landed
I can see the hostess by the door
Here I am flying
Look above you
Ill be watching you
Maybe you wont see me
But soon Ill be flying
Soon Ill be flying home to you
Wont be long till I see
Bridges on our river
Looking at the old familiar lights
Wont be long till well be
Making up for countless sleepless nights
Here I am flying
Looking down at mother earth below
Above me only blue skies
Below me is a cotton candy world
Here I am flying
Look above you
Ill be watching you
Maybe you wont see me
But soon Ill be flying
Fast cars,
She lives at the best hotels
Big stars,
She knows them all so well
Lost loves,
Shes had more than just a few
Wrong moves,
She can afford more than you
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had, second best
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best.
Headlines,
Shes been there once or twice
Feeling fine
She has forgotten the price
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best
She dont know, what real love is
If youve never had no one
Take the word of a fallen angel
If you never been no where
Take the word of a fallen angel
If youve ever been lonely
Take the word of a fallen angel
You know youre not the first to fall
And you know you wont be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one whos gonna crash.
When you think you cant go on
Look around for a fallen angel
When you feel youre the lost one
Look around for a fallen angel
When youre hurtin for someone
Look around for a fallen angel
You know youre not the first to fall
And you know you wont be the last
In flight, you never think you can
Can be the one whos gonna crash
Dont you think its time to show
Dont you think its time we know
Whats in your heart
Theres a lesson to be learned
Take the word of a fallen angel
Theres a song for every heart
Take the word of a fallen angel
When you find out where you are
Dont you know youre a fallen angel
If youre ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin
Now I dont wanna get you uptight
But if youre in a corner
And you cant find no way out
Dont look around for no help
No, no there wont be any around
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you dont wanna listen
You cant be told no more
But waitll you get out there
You better do it right
cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And theyre hidin in the night
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
Theyll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game youre playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
Youll get blown away
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

Rivers runnin high on the mountain deep
Call me deadly, call me deadly serious
And Ill say yeah! yeah! yeah!

Ill defend your honor when you roll the dice
Do you want to play house,do you want to play house

Will you still have the thought to rely on
Will you cut your hair, do you dye it yellow
Are you still the right flavor to be tasted
Will you have your name in the sunday papers

Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Did you ever think when you picked the front line
Are you gonna back up on your promises
Did you tell the folks you could make the changes
Are you gonna play it different than the last one
You got the address and you got the power
Are you gonna use it right or abuse it
Taking all the trust that you know youre given
Are you gonna play the game or just lose it
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you have the looks
Do you have the profile
Do you have your fingerprints or a record
If they come to you for some information
Looking for a secret would you sell one
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Locked up on monday
Lord I lost my way
I couldnt breathe her name
You know she's after my life
Lately Im stickin to drinkin
And Im headed down desolation road
Habit -a- growin
Set it up just right
I do away my life
On a turn of the dice
Lately Im runnin and hidin
Slidin down desolation road
(lead)
No one to turn to
Losing my best friend
My name is just bad news
And my accounts in the red
Im in need of understandin
You are a girl from the country
Your eyes remind me of the sun
You came to visit in the city
And won the hearts of everyone
You are a girl from the country
Your hair is colored like the corn
I have never been outside the city
I am no friend to anyone
Chorus:
Country girl wont you stay a while
Wont you stay a while with me
Country girl wont you stay a while
Let me see you smile for me
Lead
You are a girl from the country
Before you came I was alone
Please say youll take me to the country
And let me share your country home
Im not just something you can pick up or put down
Entertainment value, like some circus clown
Dont give green stamps
With my emotions
Donthave a cut price soul
Dont do,
Carry out feelings
Or take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Dont have the kind of heart
You reap and you take away
Keep in your cold store to use at some future date
Dont give a refund on my emotions
No discounting on my soul
Dont do,
Carry out feelings
Or, take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
And take away love
Im not just someone you can pick up and throw away
Someone to join you in arecycled love affair
Dont give green stamps with my emotions
Donthave a cut price soul
Dont do,
Carry out feelings
Or take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes
And I'm busted
Cotton is down by a quarter a pound
But I'm busted
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away
'Cause I'm busted
I went to my brother to ask for a loan
'Cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog without a bone
But I was busted
My brother said somethin', ain't a thing I can do
My wife and my kids, they're are all down with the flu
And I was just thinkin' 'bout callin' on you
'Cause I'm busted
Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong
When he's busted
The food that we canned for last summer is gone
I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow
Me and my family got to pack up and go
But I'll make a living, just how I don't know
A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel
With a smile on his face
The school kids would give me some gin
If I would let them in
They were shaking all over
Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm
Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own
Cant remember where Id been
I was aching all over
From rolling on the stone
I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone.
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a real big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a real big boy
Kissin cousins just aint my style
Not like some knight in shining armour
Touring with the sideshow
That was my blow
But we hung on for the fun
Lots of fun for everyone
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a real big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a real big boy
Till the danger man with his danger plan
He took me aside
And then he took me apart
I was a young man with love in my heart
Oh, how he made me pay
It was the hard way
It was the hard way
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a real big boy
Ooh, what a night you can have when youre a big boy
If this is heaven, then I'm in hell
If trust is misfortune, then wish me well
While I think of sadness baby
Your light shines through, your light shines through
Your light shines through
chorus:
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
I've lost control of my darker side
A world all for free, on a nastier ride
*And I have crossed myself in anger
All your mercy can't save me, all your mercy can't save
All your mercy can't save me
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
lead:
It's beggar's day
You know it's beggar's day
Because it's beggar's day
See this love, I've stored for you
Wheel it and deal it, but our feelin's are true
repeat *
You didnt listen when you went to school
You dressed like a clown and you behaved like a fool
But now your education is about to begin
The difference between love and the mess that youre in
You figured youre cool Ill bend all the rules
Ill get them going red flags to a bull
Its not like the movies no duel in the sun
You need the answer to get your love done
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
You know the business or so you believe
You set all your sights but you aim to deceive
You think youll hit the target every time that you fire
You think you know the difference between love and desire
But someones waiting to turn you around
Shell shoot you down and put your feet on the ground
Its not like dreamin you can make mistakes
A lesson learned is not so easy to take
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
Youre doin numbers but you dont keep the score
Theyre scratchin the surface but they dont
Reach the core
You only bought the ticket cause the price was all in
Youll never reach the heart until you,ve broken the skin
Youre busy running but you never relax
Live now pay later including the tax
But now your education is about to begin
Forget about the stories and the places youve been
Now youre going back to school
Now youre going to learn the rules
Now youre going back, youre going back
Youre going back to school
I know what I need I need you
I cant see nothin else all I can see is you
I dont care what they say about my state of mind
I know whats good for me and you are just my kind
We are animals we are animals we are animals we are animals
I know what I want I want you
Shed your cloths forget your codes
You know this is nothing new
I smell your scent I taste your sweat
I feel this passion too
Lets trust our senses not our minds
Lets break all the rules
We are animals we are animals
We are animals we are animals
We are animals
We are animals
Come with me run with me leave this world behind
Come to me come with me I know that we will find
We are animals we are animals
We are animals we are animals
Hallo mein Schatz, ich liebe dich, du bist die Einzige für mich
Die anderen find ich alle doof, deswegen mach ich dir den Hof-
Du bist so anders, ganz speziell, ich merke sowas immer schnell,
jetzt zieh dich aus und leg dich hin, weil ich so verliebt in dich
bin...
Gleich wird es dunkel, bald ist es Nacht-
da ist ein Wort der Warnung angebracht:
Männer sind Schweine, traue ihnen nicht, mein Kind
Sie wollen alle das Eine, weil Männer nunmal so sind
Ein Mann fühlt sich erst dann als Mann, wenn er es dir besorgen kann
Er lügt, daß sich die Balken biegen, nur um dich ins Bett zu kriegen
Und dann, am nächsten Morgen, weiß er nicht einmal mehr, wie du heißt
Rücksichtslos und ungehemmt, Gefühle sind ihm voellig fremd
Für ihn ist Liebe gleich Samenverlust
Mädchen sei dir dessen stets bewußt:
Männer sind Schweine, frage nicht nach Sonnenschein
Ausnahmen gibts leider keine, in jedem Mann steckt auch immer ein
Schwein
Männer sind Säue, glaube ihnen nicht ein Wort,
sie schwören dir ewige Treue, und dann am nächsten Morgen sind sie fort-
Yeah yeah yeaaah
Und wenn du doch den Fehler machst und dir nen Ehemann anlachst
dann wird dein Rosenkavalier kurz nach der Hochzeit auch zum Tier
Da zeigt er dann sein wahres Ich, ganz unrasiert und widerlich
trinkt Bier, sieht fern und wird schnell fett, und rülpst und furzt im
Ehebett
Dann hast du King Kong zum Ehemann
darum sag ich dir, denk bitte stets daran:
Männer sind Schweine, traue ihnen nicht mein Kind
sie wollen alle nur das Eine, für wahre Liebe sind sie blind
