Tell me now and I'll understand
Does venus hold you in the palm of her hand Has her blackness touched your very heart She'll smile sweetly as your world falls apart * And I just can't quit it babe I just can't stand the pain And I just can't quit it babe I keep running back again Little by little piece by piece Your defenses have all slipped away And real beauty's such an elusive thing Somewhere down the line you'll have to pay Repeat * Oh no, it's such a cold, cold feeling Cuts your body to the bone Oh no, it's a strange, strange feeling Loves been abandoned and I'm so alone And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer I've nothing left but this very life to save And evry night I feel that I'm a winner She's taking me down to the grave And everyday I see my flame growing dimmer I can't seem to chase the ghosts away And every night I get too high, I'm a winner I've nothing left but to pray And every night she makes me feel like a winner And every night she makes me think I'm a winner Venus smiles and encircles me And wraps me in a soft princely gown Waves of darkness rise like the sea In her addiction I will drown |

Put your feet up maybe let the world pass by
Keep off the street, go away and wait to die What you don't see is what life means to me My woman says it ain't right For a man my age to fight She don't get it She ain't in it I'm pushed to the limit Two clean shirts, I'm puffing on an old cigar I still love women, sex and fancy cars What you don't conceive is just what I believe My doctor says it ain't right For a man my age to fight He don't get it He ain't in it I'm pushed to the limit Is it nice and cozy, sitting there in your evening chair Is your paper pressed like your string vest It's enough to make you rip out your hair Relations sit and wring their hands How long will I survive Here's the cherry, there's more spunk left Kiss my arse, I'm still alive You keep it nice and quiet boy, but please don't pacify me I'm just not ready for the shade of an old oak tree What you don't see is what life means to me And my dad's an angry man, sometimes like desperate dan And he gets it And he's in it He's pushed to the limit My doctor says it ain't right For a man my age to fight He says put out the light He don't get it He ain't in it I'm pushed to the limit |

Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven I can feel jesus, right in my bones Looking for a high class up-market doorway With no connections, no telephones And I don't care what it's all about I don't need to know Walking on water Walking on the mountain I've got no whiskey running through my veins They take me to the justice And I wave old glory There's no sentence for all these pains Cause I don't care what it's all about I don't need to know * Darker days surround me now I'm older Longer nights freeze me it seems colder Darker days they will take me under now So help me please Take me to the river, cleanse me with water Because the good lord has baptized me I can't live like you good people I'll bare my soul for the world to see I don't care what it's all about I don't need to know Darker days surround me now I'm older Longer nights freeze me it seems colder Darker days they will take me under now I don't think so I don't know so I keep falling down like little drops of rain I don't know you Tell me what's true What is real, and what it is you call insane Take me to the highway Take me to heaven I can feel jesus, right in my bones Looking for a high class up-market doorway With no connections, no telephones And I don't care what it's all about I don't need to know Repeat * Oh yeah Gotta help me please |

I'm running on empty Feel I'm running dry I don't have a love life It'll make a grown man cry ** I got an old lady But we don't touch I'm looking for some magic Is that asking too much *** White sails and song birds, warm candle light I don't want disney, I wanna rock all right Call me a cynic You can call me a fool But I want my life back I wanna jump in the pool I need to tango I got to rock I wanna little couch dancer Who can stop my clock Boxes of chocolate and cold ice cream It's too much cinamon It's enough to make you scream No more pretty words, I've run out of track No more bland monotony, I'm not going back A married life can bury you, it's like a disease I've seen hard men crying and brave men on their knees Going back to my roots now To what I know best Well I need my cherry And her treasure chest I got me a dancer From a personal ad She do the watusi Come on you color me bad Ferris wheels and beaches, walks along the sand Please no candy kisses, just pump me a rocking band All those pretty words, I've run out of track All that bland monotony, I'm not going back A married life can bury you, it's like a disease I've seen hard men crying, brave men on their knees Brave men begging please Repeat * Repeat ** Repeat *** |

The tide crashed on the shore
As he held her in his arms They swore their love would stay forever more And never slip away From this moment on As they made their wedding vows He knew how life would change, oh Love was blind for now Hey, but knock, knock, knock Put the chain on the door She's back again and now she wants more Knock, knock, knock The thief's back to steal The shirt off my back, my next meal I'm not living anymore I'm just breathing day to day Everything I had has gone, she has taken it away Heaven's door has opened and looked me in the eye And there is no Mt. Olympus, just before you die Knock, knock, knock She's got the house and the car The only thing left is my old guitar Knock, knock, knock Her foot's in the door The shirt's off my back, now she wants more And tonight on T.V. well they show a happy pair I almost wept with laughter As some fool caught the bouquet the bride threw in the air At the final curtain call, in the neon light display I see all the ugly scars that illuminate my day And hail the promised land, it's upped and gone to bed Bleeding hearts and mothers weeping Sometimes I wish her dead Knock, knock, knock She's got the house and the car The only thing left is my old guitar Knock, knock, knock Her foot's in the door The shirt's off my back, now she wants more Hey, but knock, knock, knock Put the chain on the door She's back again and now she wants more Knock, knock, knock The thief's back to steal The shirt off my back, stays in my next meal |

Woke up on a Manchester morning
No sun up on the sky Caught the train down to London So broke I could make you cry When you get right down to it There's really nothing in it I got a copy of the evening paper If there's a job I will apply The DHS says it's now or never This is a case of do or die When it comes right down to it I've got to struggle through it Put the lights way down low Come closer Tell me heroes don't fade away, they're forever Just a little bit of something Just a little bit of real Tell me heroes don't fade away, become a memory So come on darling now I still need to know Are we gonna fade away or stay forever Took a walk down to Soho I've got T.V. on my mind It says these days you have it easy Oh Lord, I must be blind When it comes right down to it I can see right on through it I really love my old lady Much more grief she can't take Wish I could take her somewhere fancy I still need that lucky break When it comes right down to it There's really nothing in it Put the lights way down low Come closer Tell me heroes don't fade away, they're forever Just a little bit of something Just a little bit of real Tell me heroes don't fade away, become a memory So come on darling now I still need to know Are we gonna fade away or stay forever And I'm dreaming of summer Of just me and you now But a love with no money How long will it ring true One big city smells like another I get lost in this maze When I get home should I lie The bottle's gone I'm in a daze When it comes right down to it I've got to struggle through it Things look bleak out of this window Sometimes I wanna run away And the light fades down this tunnel It merges into another day Woke up on a Manchester morning No sun up on the sky Caught the train down to London So broke I could make you cry |

Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in She walked up to me and really stole my heart And then she started to take my body apart *Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Livin' lovin' I'm on the run So far away from you Doctor doctor, please Oh I'm goin' fast Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast It's only just a moment She's turning paranoid That's not a situation for a nervous boy **Doctor doctor, please Oh, the mess I'm in Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor She's got the strength, and I can't take any more *repeat **repeat |

Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way Right to the butt of my gun Maybe now your time has come From the back streets there's a rumbling Smell of anarchy No more nice time, black boy shoe shines Pie in the sky dreams Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end God knows when I'm coming on (my) run Heaven help those who help themselves That's the way it goes The frightening thoughts of what's been taught And now it shows Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end God knows when I'm coming on (my) run Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end God knows when I'm coming on (my) run You keep coming, there's no running Tried a thousand times Under your feet grass is growing Time we said goodbye Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end Better now you know we'll never wait till tomorrow Lights out, lights out in London, hold on tight till the end God knows when I'm coming on (my) run Lights out, lights out in London Lights out, lights out in London |
