Here's a little game called hide and go seek
Put your hands over your eyes and please don't peek
You stay here til I find you
And when I find you baby I'll tell you what to do
Wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
I love to play games with you
Here's another game called kissing in the dark
We can play it in my room or over in the park
I'll go turn the lights all out
And when the game is over you know what it's about
Wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
I love to play games with you
Here's a little game called hide and go seek
Put your hands over your eyes and please don't peek
You stay here til I find you
And when I find you baby I'll tell you what to do
Baby wasn't that good
Oh honey, wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
I love to play games with you
Wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
Oh honey, wasn't that good
Wasn't that good
I love to play games with you
When you're young and so in love as we
And bewildered by the world we see
Why do people hurt us so
Only those in love would know
If we stop to gaze upon the stars
People talk about how bad we are
Ours is not an easy age
We're like tigers in a cage
What a town without pity can do
The young have problems, many problems
We need an understanding heart
Why don't they help us, try to help us
Before this clay and granit planet falls apart
Take these eager lips and hold me fast
I'm afraid this kind of joy can't last
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do
How can we keep love alive
How can anything survive
When these little minds tear you in two
What a town without pity can do
No it isn't very pretty
What a town without pity can do
You're baby blue eyes that you promised tonight have got me in a mess
Why don't you do right and quit try to fight everytime we get this stress
Your sugar daddy and your money man, well ain't gonna treat you right
You better do something baby whether wrong or right
Oh baby tonight's the night
They say that love is a wonderfull game and it happens everyday
Oh why oh why did you pick on me and make things happen this way
You got stars in one eye and lies in the other. Now which am I gonna believe
You better do something baby whether wrong or right
Oh baby tonight's the night
They say that love is a wonderfull game and it happens everyday
Oh why oh why did you pick on me and make things happen this way
You got stars in one eye and lies in the other. Now which am I gonna believe
You better do something baby whether wrong or right
Oh baby tonight's the night
You're baby blue eyes that you promised tonight have got me in a mess
Why don't you do right and quit try to fight everytime we get this stress
Your sugar daddy and your money man, well ain't gonna treat you right
You better do something baby whether wrong or right
Oh baby tonight's the night
You wear tight black leather wrapped up from head to toe
Tight black leather dressed up, no where to go
I got a hot steel machine gonna take her for a ride
Don't know where we'll go but I got her by my side
I don't know where the wind might be blowin'
You keep me coming around
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Hey there Baby what you showin'
Five alarm smile keeps me burnin'
Come on honey reach down low
Kick start my heart rock my soul
If you hold on I may never look back
I love what you're doin' to me
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
I don't know where the wind might be blowin'
You keep me coming around
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Hey there Baby what you showin'
Five alarm smile keeps me burnin'
Come on honey reach down low
Kick start my heart rock my soul
I don't know where the wind might be blowin'
You keep me coming around
If you hold on I may never look back
I love what you're doin' to me
You wear tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
Tight black leather
I feel tears wellin' up going deep inside
Like my heart's gonna get broke
And the stab of loneliness sharp and painful
That I may never shake
You might say that I was takin' it hard
Since you broke me off with a call
But don't you wager that I'll hide my sorrow
When i may break right down and bawl
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
What the final result would be
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning
Finding that she's gone from me
There's aching pain in my heart
For the name of the one
That I had to replace
Somebody new came up to win her
And I came out in second place
Now the race is on
And here comes pride up the backstretch
Heartaches going to the inside
My tears are holding back
They're trying not to fall
My heart's out of the running
True love's scratched for another's sake
The race is on and it looks like heartaches
And the winner loses all
Instrumental
Oh shotgun Baby - You never let me down
Shotgun Baby - Whenever you're around
Shotgun Baby - You shot me to the ground
I'm in love with my shotgun
Double barrelled lover
Whenever I hear your shotgun blast
It makes me run for cover
Oh shotgun baby - You never let me down
Shotgun baby - Whenever you're around
Shotgun baby - You shot me to the ground
I'm in love with my pistol packin'
Trigger happy mama
I ain't shootin' no blanks here baby
Forty-four caliber bullets of love
Oh shotgun baby - You never let me down
Shotgun baby - Whenever you're around
Shotgun baby - You shot me to the ground
Oh shotgun baby - You never let me down

Some times I just gotta get away
To the place that rocks all night and all day
So hop right into my pink cadillac
Hey pretty baby you are never never never gonna come back
Come on little baby won't you be my girl
Won't you come and live in my rockabilly world
Jump into my arms and I'll give you a twirl
You're just gonna love it in my rockabilly world
My misery train is pullin' out
Well I lose control and I start to shout
There's a dance tonight in the killer's barn
Don't you be afraid I'm gonna do you no harm
Well come on little baby won't you be my girl
Won't you come and live in my rockabilly world
Jump into my arms and I'll give you a twirl
You're just gonna love it in my rockabilly world
We're gonna take the old route 66
Well cruisin' to Vegas gonna get my kicks
I'm wearing pink black pants and I greased my hair
I'm the rockingest cat found anywhere
Well come on little baby won't you be my girl
Won't you come and live in my rockabilly world
Jump into my arms and I'll give you a twirl
You're just gonna love it in my rockabilly world
Well I fell down on the barroom floor
Well the bartender said don't come in here no more
I passed out in the parking lot
They took one look at me and said look what we got
Well knocked out drunk, passing time
I bought a one ticket on a two way line
How come every single girl I've ever met
Wants to know about things that haven't happened yet
Well making love to you is like a mystery date
I'm always early and you're always late
Things are just never going to be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train
Illinois central, Southern freight
I'm comin' round a-baby, don't you hesitate
Can't you hear the train coming down the track
Once I'm leaving now, I'm never coming back
Things are just never gonna be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train
Well making love to you is like a mystery date
I'm always early and you're always late
Things are just never going to be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train
I don't know but I think I've lost my mind
Every time that I'm with you I hear that train coming down the line
I see the train a-coming and it's right on time
We got a third rail love with a one track mind
Well can't you hear the train a-coming down the track
I ain't stoppin' now, I'm never coming back
Things are just never gonna be the same
Making love to you is like a runaway train
Well I can't believe my eyes am I losing my mind
I haven't seen you here for a long long time
Drinkin' and dancin' all night and all day
Hangin' real tough where the rockers play
I know I should have called but I spend every dime
I've been rock rock rocking all over the place
I've been rocking all over the place
From the city to the wide open space
I've been rocking all over the place
Well I never dropped out of the race
Well if you're looking for me just in case
I've been rock rock rocking all over the place
Well I ain't slept baby in a week or so
I hear a rockin' beat and I go go go go go
You saw me rockin' babe in every town
The nearest cheap joint is where I'll be found
I've been kicked out of every hole in the wall
From Hollywood to Niagara Falls
I've been rocking all over the place
From the city to the wide open space
I've been rocking all over the place
Well I don't even drop out of the race
Now if you're looking for me just in case
Man I've been rock rock rocking all over the place
I've been rocking all over the place
I've been rocking all over the place
Yeah I've been rocking all over the place
Yeah I've been rocking all over the place
Well if you're looking for me just in case
I've been rock rock rock rock rocking all over the place

Well, that long black train
It's got my baby you know
Train, train comin' around the bend
Train, train comin' around the bend
Train, train comin' around the bend

Well, it took my baby
Well I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back
I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back oh yeah
I got nine lives and nearly lost them all
But each and every time I really had a ball
I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back
First time that it happened well how was I to know
She loved me then she left me it was a long long time ago
Numbers eight and seven well they flew by like the wind
Don't stick around for me babe I'm coming back again
I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back
I got nine lives baby I just keep comin' back
I got nine lives and nearly lost them all
But each and every time I really had a ball

I had fun with number six. But baby I got stuck on five
She took all of my money honey and she buried me alive
Four and three got better oh watch out for number two
That one almost killed me now don't you think it can't happen to you
I got just one live left I'm gonna live it all. I'm gonna live it all
But just one last chance baby I gotta drive this last one home
No more whiskey, no more wine, no more women this time
There goes a kitten I'm smitten
I'm a fool again
Sittin' by myself lookin' out a broken window
And out on the street crowds of people passin' by
But how are they to know I'm feeling so alone
I feel like I could break down and cry
Now I know how broken hearts must feel
But my heart is a liar for you
My heart is a liar it's true
The flame keep on burnin', burnin' so high
Never gonna die
Sittin' all alone, feelin' sorry for myself
I catch my reflection and I see the kinda fool I've been
But how was I to know I had to let you go
The only way to make it alright
Now you've lit the flame again
My heart is a liar for you
My heart is a liar it's true
The flame keep on burnin', burnin' so high
It's never gonna die
Sometimes I think, I pass you by
But it's just love blinding my eyes
Sittin' all alone, feelin' sorry for myself
I catch my reflection and I see the kinda fool I've been
But how was I to know I had to let you go
The only way to make it alright
Now you've lit the flame again
My heart is a liar for you
My heart is a liar it's true
The flame keeps burnin', burnin' so high
It's never gonna die
No no My heart is a liar for you
My heart is a liar it's true
The flame keeps burnin', burnin' so high
Never gonna die
Well, breaking rocks in the hot sun
I fought the law and the, the law won

Just counting the days I've to stay

She had a white wedding one hundred guests and a four piece band
But she's as sad as Sunday the groom's as cold as a snowman's hand
But out of nowhere, came her saviour
Down the aisle comes Johnny from the promised land
As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me
As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free
In an old motel they fell asleep after driving thru the nite
The word's gone out on the citizen's cands
Her daddy has put a price on Johnny's life
But out of danger deep in Texas she found heaven
Hanging' onto Johnny's hand
As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me
As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free
And if you break away I can give you a fast car going west
Ain't got a lot o' time just 24 hours of happiness
But if you wake one day and hear my voice on a cool breeze blowin' south
Remember you and me living our life in 24 hours
Soon enough they'll track us down
Time runs out for freedom in the end
Well it's bars for me and the bride to be
In her daddy's caddy
Abducted from the promised land
As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me
As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free
As long as we keep on running they'll never catch me
As long as we keep on running honey, we'll stay free

Beautiful Delilah
Sweet as apple pie
Always gets a second look
From fellows passing by
Everytime you see her
She's with a different guy
Beautiful Delilah
That's the reason why
We're begging you allow me
Fool around with you
You are so tantilizing
You just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah
Dressed in the latest style
Swinging like a pendulum
Walking down the aisle
Sees so may guys
Speaks so low and mild
Maybe she will settle down
And marry after a while
We're begging you allow me
Fool around with you
You are so tantilizing
You just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah
Bathing in the sun
Audience of seventeen
And know the mile in one
Local Casanova
Who would not be outdone
Let her steal his heart away
And break it just for fun
We're begging you allow me
Fool around with you
You are so tantilizing
You just can't be true
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah
Beautiful Delilah

Got an educated dog you see
He only reads books and watches TV
Howling at the moon, I can't understand why
Howling at the pretty girls passing by
Dig dirty doggie, dig dig
Dig dirty doggie, dig dig
Dig dirty doggie, go bury your ol' steak bone
Well, he's half hotdog and half Great Dane
Call him a mut and he'll bark insane
One big, one small, yet love they found
One used a ladder and the other laid down
Only eats at the finest restaurants
Charges it to his expense account
Never takes home a doggie bag
Got a doggie dish with a gold name-tag
Dig dirty doggie, dig dig
Dig dirty doggie, dig dig
We've been driving all night long
Just to reach our destination in your town

Well I rocked over Italy and I rocked over Spain
Rocked in Memphis, it was all the same.
€˜Till I rocked to Africa and rolled off the ship,
Seen them natives do an odd looking skip.
Parted the weeds and looked over the swamp,
And I seen them cats doing the Ubangi Stomp.
Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them Ubangi€™s wild.
Well I looked up the chief he invited me in,
He said, Hey big jam session's about to begin
He handed me a tom tom, I picked up the beat,
That crazy thing send shivers to my feet.
I rocked and I rolled, skipped with a smile,
Gonna Ubangi stomp man, Ubangi style.
Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them Ubangi's wild.
Well I rocked all night and part of the day,
Had a good rockin€™ time with the chief's daugher May.
We were making good time and gettin€™ to know,
When the Captain said, €œSorry we gotta go.€?
Well, well that€™s all right man now, go right ahead,
Gonna Ubangi stomp €˜till I roll over dead.
Ubangi stomp, reggae roll, beats any stomp that you ever been told.
Ubangi stomp, Ubangi style, when it hits it drives them Ubangi's wild.

Well trouble was on the horizon
The sky was cloudy and grey
Hurricane winds were a-blowing
And she was as cold as that day
Well her eyes were as black as that dark stormy night
The first time I touched her I trembled with fright
I found myself running for cover
But I couldn't make it in time
I was struck by lightning twice
Struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd better start running
Struck by lightning twice
Blinded by love like a blizzard
I couldn't see nothing but you
My heart it was pounding like thunder
Oh baby can't you hear it too
Well you left me for dead, washed up on the shore
I didn't learn once
So I came back for more
I kept you so safe and so warm
And you threw me out in the raging storm
Struck by lightning twice
Struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
Baby I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd better start running
Struck by lightning twice
Lord I was struck by lightning twice
I was struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
I was struck by lightning twice
When the train starts a-coming
You'd better start running
Struck by lightning twice
Spinning round like a tornado
My head way up in the sky
I felt the earth shaken beneath me
I felt like I wanted to die
Well then out of the fog and out of the night
There in the mist in a rainbow of light
The chances are one in a million
That lightning could ever strike twice
Struck by lightning twice
I was struck by lightning twice
I don't take nobody's advice
Struck by lightning twice
When the rain starts comin'
Better start runnin'
Struck by lightning
Struck by lightning
Struck by lightning twice

You had lipstick on your face
With your see-through backless frilly dress
You were every mom's disgrace
Well I'd like to understand you
But I couldn't even if I tried
Like a charging bull in the face of death
I was fit to be tied
Well come on when I call you Angeline
To be in love with you is just a bit obscene
Let me take you out for one more dance, yeah
My name is reckless when I get a chance

You had a six inch home-made knife
You said you haven't slept in seven days

The wind is blowin' beercans down a cold deserted street
I feel as empty as those beercans rollin' past my feet
I can hear Chicago blues from an out of tune guitar
And a 1939 neon sign buzzin' above the bar
I'm at an intersection lost my direction and
I don't know which way to go
She left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love
She left me on the corner of lust and love
I got an old tattoo dedicated to you covered up with thorns
But the heart bleeds through and your name does too forever on my arm
Each night I go walkin' through the darkness all alone
But I never get of that dirty old street no matter how far I roam
I'm at an intersection lost my direction and
I don't know which way to go
She left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love
She left me on the corner of lust and love
Underneath the street light I strain my eyes to see
The silhouettes reflection of a long black mercury
Shadows on the pavement from the corners of my eye
Fool me into thinkin' my baby's passin' by
Intersection lost my direction and
I don't know which way to go
You're the only one I've been thinking of
Left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love
She left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love
Left me on the corner of lust and love

Where does it say all the love that we made must disappear
And who made the rule that the one who is cruel won't cry the tears
Well we woke up unsatisfied, got out of bed and said goodbye
But don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now, baby realize you can't make our love a sacrifice
But don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Who pays the cost if the love that is lost goes unredeemed
And why should I care if this cross that I bear is destiny
My heart was pure, my love was strong forgive me if I've done you wrong
But don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now, baby realize you can't make our love a sacrifice
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Where does it say all the love that we made must disappear
And who made the rule that the one who is cruel won't cry the tears
Well now I know how cruel thou art
Have mercy baby on my heart
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
I got down on my knees and prayed to the lord above
Don't leave me now, baby realize you can't make our love a sacrifice
Don't leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't you leave me here dying on the cross of love
Don't you leave me here dying on the cross of love
Low down dealin' in Memphis a card game in a back room
I was lookin' at my last dollar hopin' lady luck would come by soon
They raised the betting limit the cards were flying fast
I bet away my future I'd already lost my past
I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis - I played out every game
Can't go back to Memphis
Can't go back to Memphis - Everybody knows my name
Too many people wanna even out the score
And I can't go back to Memphis no more
I hung out on the east side I heard my reputation was in doubt
It was starting to look like a bad ride
It looked like time for gettin' out
I sent the man a message said I was gonna split
He sent a message back that said I don't let nobody quit
I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis - I played out every game
Can't go back to Memphis
Can't go back to Memphis - Everybody knows my name
Too many people wanna even out the score
And I can't go back to Memphis no more
I tried my best to beat the system but the system put me back in my place
They maintained a delicate balance where no one got in nobody's face
I tried to make a dollar just surviving in the streets
I fought the gangs, I fought the law but they both had me beat
I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis - I played out every game
I can't go back to Memphis
Can't go back to Memphis - Everybody knows my name
Too many people wanna even out the score
And I can't go back to Memphis no more
I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis
Get outta town
Well, it's 10:55, we're spitting out songs by the dozen
And the way that you move girl, it's better than a rock 'n' roll song
Do you remember last night, when I swore on my grave that I love you?
Well, I just can't remember the last time I buried myself
Think it over baby
Think it over darling
Oh, think it over baby
Think it over baby, before you have a change of heart
The room's getting smoky, I feel my head and it's buzzing
And the way that you move girl, it's better than nothing at all
Well, I remember the last time I saw you, I was half crazy
But I just can't remember the last time that you were yourself
Think it over baby
Think it over darling
Oh, think it over baby
Think it over baby, before you have a change of heart
The room's getting smoky, I feel my head and it's buzzing
And the way that you move girl, it's better than nothing at all
Well, I remember the last time I saw you, I was half crazy
And I just can't remember the last time that you were yourself
Think it over baby
Think it over darling
Oh, think it over baby
C'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
Got some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
No more movies for a week or two
No more running 'round with the usual crew
Ah, who cares?
C'mon everybody
Well, my baby's number one but I gotta dance with three or four
The place is really shaking form the bare feet slapping on the floor
When you hear the music you can't sit still
Your brother won't rock but your sister will
Whoo
C'mon everybody
My place is really rocking, so we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come home, I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
No more movies for a week or two
No more running 'round with the usual crew
Who cares?
C'mon everybody
C'mon everybody and let's get together tonight
Some money in my jeans and I'm really gonna spend it right
No more movies for a week or two
No more running 'round with the usual crew
Ah, who cares?
Here I come in my fifty-seven
She's a real low rider paint perfection
With a custom engine painted black with flames
Ain't nobody gonna call that hot rod tame
V eight engine with the fuel injection
Two eight three, that's my ounce of perfection
Get that rod out when it's very late
Haven't gotten' round to getting license plates
Well I'm cruising low and I'm cruising mean
Well I'm cruising slow in my street machine
You're my hot rod mama
And you're really built for speed
You're built for speed baby
When I reach that final destination
I will drive a car and leave a compensation
With a little reeling and a lot of rockin'
You're my hot rod mama in your fishnet stockings
Well I'm cruising low and I'm cruising mean
Well I'm cruising slow in my street machine
You're my hot rod mama
And you're really built for speed
You're built for speed

Well, I know a little lady, she lives down London way
She talks and talks all night but she ain't got much to say
She don't need no ones opinion, don't want no interruptions
Just shuts up long enough to reapply the suction
Well, she's little miss prissy and she love you
But she ain't worth a dime
Well, I swallow all her comments
Make her all remarks
When I finally get her where I want her
Her bite's worse than her bark
Well, she's little miss prissy, she love you
But she ain't worth the time
She ain't worth the time
Well, I know a little lady, she lives down London way
She talks and talks all night but she ain't got much to say
She don't need no ones opinion, don't need no interruptions
Just shuts up long enough to reapply the suction
Well, she's little miss prissy, and she love you
But she ain't worth the time
She ain't worth the time
But she ain't worth the time
She ain't worth the time, oh no
Well, she's little miss prissy and she love you
I, I got a low down dirty feeling
That I've been cheated on, and lied to
If it's so then it's wrong, we've hung on for so long
Why don't we have that magic anymore
I got a strange sneaking suspicion
That it's been going on for some time now
Something shines in your eyes, something stirs deep inside
I won't stand in your way anymore
You said that I'm just a little guy
Who's easily led astray
Well aren't you the same little girl
I need love love
To ease my mind
I need some fine fine
Someone to call mine
But my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
R O C K
Love love don't come easy
Yet I keep on waiting anticipating
For that soft voice
Talk to me at night
For those tender arms
Wrapped around me tight
But my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long can I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness cause my heart
Heart to break
Now I can't stand
To live my life alone
I grow impatient for a lover
To call my own
Well I feel that I
That I can't go on
But those precious words
Keep me hangin' on
Well my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
R O C K
Love love don't come easy
Yet I keep on waiting anticipating
For that soft voice
Talk to me at night
For those tender arms
Wrapped around me tight

Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
How long can I wait
How much more can I take
Before loneliness cause my heart
Heart to break
Well how many heartaches must I stand
Before I find a love to let me live again
Well now the only thing
That keeps me hangin' on
Those precious words
Keep me hangin' on
Well my mama said
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
You can't hurry love
No you just have to wait
Love don't come easy
It's a game of give and take
I've been hanging around this town too long
And it seems like every woman done me wrong
She's in love when I'm in lust
Well the suitcases gatherin' dust
Baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day
There ain't nothing good coming out of this situation
Well if this is any kind of indication
Well I won't even bother to pack
I'll leave you baby sugar honey never come back
Well baby, baby, baby, I'll see you some day
Too hip, gotta go
Too hip, gotta go

Black and orange stray cat sittin' on a fence
I ain't got enough dough to pay the rent
I'm flat broke but I don't care
I strut right by with my tail in the air
Stray cat strut, well, I'm a ladies cat
I'm a feline Casanova, hey man that's that
Get a shoe thrown at me from a mean old man
Get my dinner from a garbage can
Don't go crossing my path
Well, I don't bother chasing mice around
Well, I'm slinkin' down the alleyway looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
But I got cat class and I got cat style
I don't bother chasing mice around
I'm slinkin' down the alleyway looking for a fight
Howling to the moonlight on a hot summer night
Singin' the blues while the lady cats cry
"Wild stray cat, you're a real gone guy"
I wish I could be as carefree and wild
Fifteen men taken captive in a hostile, foreign land
Scorchin' sun beaming down onto miles and miles of sand
A Mideast country being ruled by a man who thinks it's fun
To hold our people in return for a Shah that's on the run
I think it's funny
Freedom takes money
It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well, that's tough shit, man, it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shooting down you and me
Scores of suits in control of the diplomatic-ness
While the nations of the world look on and can't care less
The Soviet Union won't agree to an economic plan
And then they laugh and march their troops into Afghanistan
Orders from Moscow
Invade Tehran now
It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well, that's tough shit, man, it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Before they start shooting at you and me, hey
A nation worries and reads the papers
Hoping that no one has died
Hearing rumors that the hostages
Will soon be tried as spies
Demonstrations on the street
Saying that the end is near
The man from the New York Times on vacation
Wants to know what's happened here
Aggressive acts now
We want the best now
Fifteen moms crying
Is my son dying?
It's a heartache and it's hard luck
Well, that's tough shit, man, it's no fun
Storm the Iranian embassy
Hey look it there, here she comes
Here comes that girl again
Wanted to date her since I don't know when
She don't notice me when I pass
She goes with other guys that are outta my class
That can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man
She's somethin' else
Hey look it there, across the street
There's a car made just for me
To own a car would be a luxury
Right now I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is outta my class
That can't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
That car's fine lookin' man
It's somethin' else
Hey look it here, what's all this?
Work hard and save my dough
Got the car, I've been wantin' so
Get me the girl we'll go ridin' around
Look real sharp with the white top down
I'll keep right on a-dreamin' and a-thinkin' to myself
When it all comes true man
That's somethin' else
Hey look it here, what's all this?
Never thought I'd do this before
Here I am knockin' down your door
My car's out front, it's all mine
A '41 Ford not a '59
I got that gal, I'm a-thinkin' to myself
She's sure fine lookin' man
She's somethin' else
She's sure fine lookin' man
She's somethin' else
She's sure fine lookin' man
She's somethin' else
She's sure fine lookin' man
She's somethin' else
She's sure fine lookin' man
Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag
Who can I turn to and where can I stay ?
I heard a place is open all night and all day
There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child
Runaway boys
Your hair is all greasy and you feel like a slob
You're only fifteen and you can't get a job
Run into the luncheonette and shoot a few games
Losing all your quarters, man it's always the same
Steal a couple of bucks to buy a new toy
Slip into the alley with the runaway boys
Runaway boys
Runnin' faster, faster all the time
You're under age and God knows that's a crime
Get kicked out for coming home at dawn
Mom and dad cursed the day you were born
Throw your clothes into a duffel bag
Shoutin' as you slam the door, the home, it's a drag
Who can I turn to and where can I stay ?

There's a place you can go where the cops don't know
You can act real wild, they don't treat you like a child

Runaway boys, runaway boys
Runaway boys, runaway boys
Well there's the Rockabilly cats with their pomps real high
Wearing black drape coats, all real gone guys
The cool skinheads with roll up jeans
Looking real tough and mighty mean
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
They sew fish hooks under their collars
They got razors in their shoes
I said ,"Go cat go, go" is their battle cry
World war three is starting to brew
Well, the skinheads all use black jacks
And they're looking mighty mean
They got chains wrapped around their fingers
And their heads are all shaven clean
Well there's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
There ain't a damn thing that the cops can do
There's a rumble in Brighton tonight
Well there ain't a man left standing
So let's all go get a beer

There's a rumble in Brixton tonight
Rumble in Brixton tonight
Rumble on the beach tonight
Rumble in Brixton tonight
Rumble on the streets tonight
There ain't a damn thing that the cops could do
So line back up for a side line view
Ringside seats for the neighborhood fight
Well, my baby and me went out late Saturday night
I had my hair piled high and my baby just looked so right
Well, pick you up at ten, gotta have you home at two
Mama don't know what I got in store for you
But that's all right 'cause we're looking as cool as can be
Well, we found a little place that really didn't look half bad
I had a whiskey on the rocks, and changed half a dollar for the jukebox
Well, I put a quarter right into that can
But all they played was music disco man
Come on, baby, baby, let's get out of here right away

Well, he walked down to the station
With a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising off the desert sand
And it scorched the bairn land
Well, he packed up his bags and he headed west
With a dream in his pocket he would ride
The heat was rising on the desert sand
From the truth he couldn't hide
Broken man, broken man with a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising on the desert sand
And it scorched the bairn land
When he walked out of the factory
With a pay check in his hand
The heat was rising off the city streets
And it scorched his careless hand
As he headed down his lonely streets
In his broken down part of town
He crossed over the dividing line
And swore he'd never be found
Broken man, broken man with a pay check in his hand
The heat was rising off the city streets
And he scorched is calloused hand
Well, he walked down to the station
With a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising off the city streets
And it scorched his careless hand
Well, he walked out of his office
With a briefcase in his hand
His greed has turned to bitterness
Like so many broken plans
He grabbed his coat, left his resignation on the desk
He didn't leave a forwarding address
The heat was rising throughout the land
And through the night he ran
Broken man, broken man with a briefcase in his hand
The heat was rising throughout the land
And through the night he ran
Broken man, broken man with a pistol in his hand
The heat was rising throughout the land

Give it to me, give it to me, why don't you give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you, give it to me
Oh give your love to me, give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you
There's no such thing as love for jealous fools
And I'm the biggest fool, I think I oughta know
Now you've got a brand new set of rules that I can't play by
Oh, all of a sudden everyone else knows everything
Give it to me, give it to me, why don't you give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you, give it to me
Oh give your love to me, give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you
A love so hot it burns to touch a love so hot you're too much
To hold onto
By the way that's a cute smile you've got
And I can't believe I'm not laying next to you tonight
Give it to me, give it to me, why don't you give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you, give it to me
Oh give your love to me, give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you
Give it to me, give it to me, why don't you give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you, give it to me
Oh give your love to me, give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you
Hurry up, come out and see the stars tonight
They're spelling out your name in violet shades of white
When your name appears, they say
There's no way you can turn away
Don't turn away from me tonight
Give it to me, give it to me, why don't you give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you, give it to me
Oh give your love to me, give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you
Give it to me, give it to me, why don't you give it to me
I'm gonna give it to you, give it to me
Oh give your love to me, give it to me

Ooh, well I got a gal with a record machine when it comes to rockin' she' s a queen
We love to dance on Saturday night, all alone I can hold her tight
But she' s lives on the 20thfloor uptown, the elevator' s broken down.
So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12thfloor startin' to drag, 15thfloor I' m a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I' m too tired to rock
Well she calls me up on the telephone says, "Come on over, honey. I' m all alone"
I said "Baby, you' re mighty sweet. But I' m in bed with achin' feet"
This went on for a couple o' days, but I couldn' t stay away.
So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12thfloor startin' to drag, 15thfloor I' m a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I' m too tired to rock
"We havin' fun yet?"
"Woo!"
Well, they sent it to Chicago for repairs
Til it gets fixed I' m usin' the stairs
I hope they hurry before it' s too late. I want my baby too much to wait.
All this a-climbin' is getting' me down. They' ll find my corpse draped over a rail.
So I walk 1, 2 flight, 3 flight, 4. 5, 6, 7 flight, 8 flight more
Up on the 12thfloor startin' to drag, 15thfloor I' m a-ready to sag
Get to the top, I' m too tired to rock
"Hey!"
"Hah!"
"A-la-da-da-da-da-da-dow!"
"Crazy"
