Big tall man standing in the street
Gun hanging by his side Just one man that he'd like to meet That's when I began to hide I recognized him from the face of his son The hate in his eye didn't lie Oh what I did can't be undone Borrowed time there's none to buy Well I hid round the back of a derelict shack Ain't looking for a mad showdown But he was smart, he'd already checked A week in advance I'd paid down Well the hotel clerk was a fun-loving man The job he had it didn't pay He told all about what happened that night There he is, that's the one's all he'd say Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping on my bad neighbours doors crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying No one to protect our town Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly he's gonna shoot your sheriff down Big tall man standing in the street now a hand hovering waiting to slide Drew out his gun it wasn't for fun Let me in there's nowhere to hide Well I made my play but it wasn't my day I felt the ripping lead That's when I knew my time was through Rest in peace were the last words he said Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping on my bad neighbours doors crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying No one to protect our town Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly he's gonna shoot your sheriff down Well all the people were running, jumping, even thumping on my bad neighbours doors crying Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly Let me in I gotta hide Well everybody was crying, sighing Sam McGee's dying No one to protect our town Curly Billy Silly with his colt he calls filly he's gonna shoot your sheriff down |

If I could make a wish
I think I'd pass Can't think of anything I need No cigarettes, no sleep No light, no sound Nothing to eat, no books to read Making love with you Has left me peaceful, warm, and tired What more could I ask? There's nothing left to be desired Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Peace came upon me, and it leaves me weak So sleep, silent angel, go to sleep Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Sometimes all I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe And to love you All I need is the air that I breathe Yes, to love you All I need is the air that I breathe |

And his love will be his vision
And he'll take you where you stand And will you stand Your life by his and help the boy become a man ? Will he be the son of his father His father the teacher teachin' love And honesty and bein' his own man handler Or the son of the son of a run of the millrun Rotten gambler. Will the devil be gettin' to you as you look back Over what you've done. And what you've done Was it for reason or for rhyme or was it just for fun? Will he be the son of his father . . . Back on the road now deacon will lose your hand There ain't no kingdom for the gamblin' man. You know the road now and you have made your stand And when his eyes shine upon you shine upon you Will he be the son of his father . . . |

Shook my head out of dreams Reality's calling The early bird's been up all morning but I've got no notion of moving from where I am Though my legs won't move I feel disabled I'm on a shelf an article labeled waiting for someone to fetch me from lost and found I'm down No one to hear me calling I'm down No one to see me falling I'm down Had my ways with days of sunshine Life came easy it all fell in line But then again I didn't realise When you're used to one thing it's hard to accept another Like the woman who brought you up well she ain't your mother How do you cope with a thing like that chorus I always thought it was my dad who went to war Thought it was my sister who fell off the wall My pseudo-brother Billy emigrated long ago Someone went through pain to have me someone I should know I'm down I'm down To the folks who brought me up I'm not ungrateful Kept the secret from me they thought it was shameful It hurt me so to be the last one to know Maybe someone's out there looking for me Left on their own couldn't afford to clothe me And I I don't even know my real name chorus I'm down I'm down I'm down |

Keep away from that hard-looking woman Don't be fooled by her crocodile smile She uses charm like a witch casting bad spells You can't see what I can see for miles I know she'll leave you with no self-respect Builds you up only to destroy you It'll happen at a time you won't expect Don't let her leave you 'reject' Sly girl, good timer, she's just a social climber She bites Entice, so nice, but you have to pay the price She bites She'll take away everything that you've got leaving you cold when you think things are hot Bad kind, no good, making up her own rules Be on your guard, boy, if she loses her cool chorus x2 verse 1 chorus x2 She bites, she bites, she bites |

Harlequin has lost his crown Look they say a broken clown Yesterday he ruled the world Now he's crying to be heard Yesterday he called the tune Now he's howling at the moon Harlequin has broken down Harlequin, Harlequin has lost his crown Harlequin has broken loose Slipped the knot and skipped the noose Can those bloodhounds find his trail Will they send him back to jail Can those bloodhounds find his scent Will they find out where he went Harlequin cannot be found Harlequin, Harlequin has gone to ground Break Harlequin is back on top Now his fame will never stop See him shown from coast to coast He's the one they love the most See them slap him on the back How they love his every crack Harlequin we knew you'd do it Harlequin, Harlequin Harlequin, Harlequin Harlequin, Harlequin Harlequin, Harlequin Harlequin, Harlequin |

I'm a satellite three Two others before me I spend my life revolving round your sun I'm a satellite three For me there's no recovery I'm not in your gravity I'm in limbo You took me to the limit of my capabilities And though I'm alien to you Doesn't mean that I am through Though I've endless fuel to burn No way to turn No way to turn I'm a satellite three Anyone down there watching me Send me a signal I'll reply Don't let me die Break You took me to the limit of my capabilities And though I'm alien to you Doesn't mean that I am through Though I've endless fuel to burn No way to turn No way to turn I'm a satellite three Anyone down there watching me Send me a signal I'll reply Don't let me die Don't let me die Don't let me |

Time is here The moments right There's nothing left for me to fight Fill me no favours if I'm lonely tonight All alone on my own Gotta be the only way Finally it looks like we've got nothing to say I don't mind You gotta be cruel to be kind And all we do all day is fight You say wrong and I say right Take my love and run Get out before the morning sun I gave you all I had and more in vain You won't do this to me again No, you won't do this to me again I don't mind You gotta be cruel to be kind We're in the life we started Just a little more broken hearted chorus x3 |

You're the one I can see in your eyes
You're the one You're the once in my life When you know there's a time For a love that survives I look at you I know that you are mine I've been wrong when I thought I was right You go on puttin' hope in my life But a single mistake can be all that it takes We're through Know we're gonna make it I know in my mind We're through If we're gonna make it then now is the time Too many hearts get broken Too many dreams get blown away Too many hearts grow cold I know this time is the time Cross my heart I can swear it's true All I need is the feeling in you Cause I've waited too long (waited too long) for it all to go wrong We're through Know we're gonna make it It's fate that we do We're through I could never face it a world without you chorus The way she makes you burn Past the point of no return Love gone wrong leaves you cold as ice Too many hearts get broken x2 chorus x3 |

I take my life one day at a time
So many dreams that come and go in my mind Is this a new beginning a time when fools are winning Everybody needs something to believe The world we see is changing so fast No guarantees how long does a feeling last One look can tell a story My future's waiting for me Let it be with you make it all come true And find me a family Somewhere to go where I can belong That special place that I can call my home You know I'm gonna find it someday Please let me stay Find me a family I gotta know that somebody cares I need a chance I got so much to give If you can find me a family Find me a family I live and hope and whisper a prayer when I come home that you will be waiting there It's just a breath away and all you have to say is stay with me tonight You know it sounds so right chorus Find me a family x6 |
