Thought of you as my mountain top thought of you as my peak Thought of you as everything I've had but couldn't keep I've had but couldn't keep Linger on your pale blue eyes Linger on your pale blue eyes

You know, man, when I was a young man in high school you believe in or not I wanted to play football for the coach And all those older guys they said he was mean and cruel, but you know wanted to play football for the coach
They said I was to little too light weight to play line-backer so I say I'm playing right-end wanted to play football for the coach
'Cause, you know some day, man you gotta stand up straight unless you're gonna fall then you're gone to die And the straightest dude I ever knew was standing right for me all the time So I had to play football for the coach and I wanted to play football for the coach
When you're all alone and lonely in your midnight hour
And you find that your soul it's been up for sale
And you begin to think 'bout all the things that you've done
And you begin to hate just 'bout everything
But remember the princess who lived on the hill
Who loved you even though she knew you was wrong
And right now she just might come shining through
and the Glory of love, glory of love glory of love, just might come through
And all your two-bit friends have gone and ripped you off
They're talking behind your back saying, man you're never going to be no human being
And you start thinking again 'bout all those things that you've done
And who it was and what it was and all the different things you made every different scene
Ah, but remember that the city is a funny place
Something like a circus or a sewer
And just remember different people have peculiar tastes
and the Glory of love, the glory of love the glory of love, might see you through
yeah, but now, now Glory of love, the glory of love the glory of love, might see you through
Glory of love, ah huh huh, the glory of love Glory of love, glory of love Glory of love, now, glory of love, now Glory of love, now now now glory of love Glory of love, give it to me now glory of love see you through

Waltzing Matilda whipped out her wallet the sexy boy smiled in dismay She took out four twenties 'cause she liked round figures everybody's a queen for a day Oh, babe, I'm on fire and you know how I admire your - - body why don't we slip away Although I'm sure you're certain, it's a rarity me flirtin' sha-la-la-la, this way
Oh, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la hey, baby, come on, let's slip away
Luscious and gorgeous, oh what a hunk of muscle call out the national guard She creamed in her jeans as he picked up her means from off of the formica topped bar And cascading slowly, he lifted her wholly and boldly out of this world And despite people's derision proved to be more than diversion sha-la-la-la, later on
And then sha-la-la-la-la, he entered her slowly and showed her where he was coming from And then sha-la-la-la-la, he made love to her gently it was like she'd never ever come And then sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la when the sun rose and he made to leave You know, sha-la-la-la-la, sha-la-la-la-la neither one regretted a thing
b) Street Hassle
Hey, that cunt's not breathing I think she's had too much of something or other, hey, man, you know what I mean I don't mean to scare you but you're the one who came here and you're the one who's gotta take her when you leave I'm not being smart or trying to be cold on my part and I'm not gonna wear my heart on my sleeve But you know people get all emotional and sometimes, man, they just don't act rational they think they're just on TV
Sha-la-la-la, man why don't you just slip her away
You know, I'm glad that we met man it really was nice talking and I really wish that there was a little more time to speak But you know it could be a hassle trying to explain myself to a police officer about how it was that your old lady got herself stiffed And it's not like we could help but there was nothing no one could do and if there was, man, you know I would have been the first But when someone turns that blue well, it's a universal truth and then you just know that bitch will never fuck again By the way, that's really some bad shit that you came to our place with but you ought to be more careful around the little girls It's either the best or it's the worst and since I don't have to choose I guess I won't and I know this ain't no way to treat a guest But why don't you grab your old lady by the feet and just lay her out on the darkened street and by morning, she's just another hit and run You know, some people got no choice and they can't never find a voice to talk with that they can even call their own So the first thing that they see that allows them the right to be why they follow it, you know, it's called bad luck
