All the late night bargains have been struck
Between the satin beaus and their belles And prehistoric garbage trucks Have the city to themselves Echoes roars dinosaurs They're all doing the monster mash And most of the taxis and the whores Are only taking calls for cash I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick But all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick My door was standing open Security was laid back and lax But it was only my heart got broken You must have had a pass key made out of wax You played robbery with insolence And I played the blues in twelve bars down Lover's Lane And you never did have the inteligence to use The twelve keys hanging off my chain I don't know how it happened It all took place so quick But all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick Now it's past last call for alcohol Past recall has been here and gone The landlord finally paid us all The satin jazzmen have put away their horns And we're standing outside of this wonderland Looking so bereaved and so bereft Like a Bowery bum when he finally understands The bottle's empty and there's nothing left I don't know how it happened It was faster than the eye could flick But not all I can do is hand it to you And your latest trick |

Baby I see this world has made you sad
Some people can be bad The things they do, the things they say But baby I'll wipe away those bitter tears I'll chase away those restless fears That turn your blue skies into grey Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now Baby when I get down I turn to you And you make sense of what I do I know it isn't hard to say But baby just when this world seems mean and cold Our love comes shining red and gold And all the rest is by the way Why worry, there should be laughter after pain There should be sunshine after rain These things have always been the same So why worry now |

We had no way of staying afloat,
We had to leave on a ferryboat. Economic refugees, On the run to Germany. We had the back of Maggie's hand, Times were tough in Geordie-land. We got our tools and working gear And humped it all from Newcastle to here. Why aye man. Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man. Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man. We're nomad tribes, travelling boys, In the dust and dirt and the wrecking noise. Drills and hammers, diggers and picks, Mixing concrete, laying bricks. There's English, Irish, Scots, the lot. United Nations what we got. Brickies, chippies, every trade. German building, British made. Why aye man. Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man. Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man. Nay more work on Maggie's farm. Head away down the autobahn. Mine's a Portakabin bed, Or a bunk in a Nissen hut instead. There's plenty Deutschmarks here to earn. And German tarts are wunderschn. German beer is chemical free. Germany's alright with me. Sometimes I miss my River Tyne, But youre my pretty frulein. Tonight we'll drink the old town dry, Keep our spirit levels high. Why aye man. Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man. Why aye, why aye man. Why aye man, Why aye, why aye man. Sometimes I miss my River Tyne, But youre my pretty frulein. Tonight we'll drink the old town dry, Keep our spirit levels high.

If I'm over the moon
It's because I'm over you A day at a time And I'm tickety-boo I don't carry on The way I used to Whoop de doo If I'm doing great It's because when I get home I don't go straight To my answerphone And the tears don't come The way they used to Whoop de doo So many little things Are so much better now They were only the little things Anyhow If I'm over the moon It's because that's what I am Funny that once I used to give a damn And I'd do anything In the whole wide world for you Whoop de doo Anything Anything you'd want me to Whoop de doo |

The drinking dens are spilling out There's staggering in the square There's lads and lasses falling about And a crackling in the air Down around the dungeon doors The shelters and the queues Everybody's looking for Somebody's arms to fall into And it's what it is It's what it is now There's frost on the graves and the monuments But the taverns are warm in town People Curse the government And shovel hot food down The lights are out in the city hall The castle and the keep The moon shines down upon it all The legless and asleep And it's cold on the tollgate With the wagons creeping through Cold on the tollgate God knows what I could do with you And it's what it is It's what it is now The garrison sleeps in the citadel With the ghosts and the ancient stones High up on the parapet A Scottish piper stands alone And high on the wind The highland drums begin to roll And something from the past just comes And stares into my soul And it's cold on the tollgate With the Caledonian Blues Cold on the tollgate God knows what I could do with you And it's what it is It's what it is now What it is It's what it is now There's a chink of light, there's a burning wick There's a lantern in the tower Wee Willie Winkie with a candlestick Still writing songs in the wee wee hours On Charlotte Street I take A walking stick from my hotel The ghost of Dirty Dick Is still in search of Little Nell And it's what it is It's what it is now Oh what it is What it is now |

High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely every way Got the flats all around me sky up above Yes I need a little water of love I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough Yes I need a little water of love Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high Just a-waiting for me to die If I don't get some water soon I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman she gone Once there was a river now there's a stone You know it's evil when you're living alone Water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me (Carry that) water of love deep in the ground But there ain't no water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It's gonna carry that water of love to me |

High and dry in the long hot day
Lost and lonely in every way Got the flats all around me sky up above I need a little water of love I've been too long lonely and my heart feels pain Crying out for some soothing rain I believe I have taken enough I need a little water of love Water of love deep in the ground No water here to be found Some day baby when the river runs free It'll carry that water of love to me There's a bird up in a tree sitting up high Waiting for me to die If I don't get some water soon I'll be dead and gone in the afternoon Once I had a woman I could call my own Once I had a woman now my woman is gone Once there was a river now there's a stone You know it's evil when you're living alone |

It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance He walked into her on the corner She said, 'I don't dance' He said, 'Baby let me teach you' She said, 'O.K., when?' He said, 'How can I reach you baby I'd really like to see you again' He picked her up on a Friday night He took her for a bite to eat His heart was beating and his hands were shaking She thought he was sweet And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek And he walked her home and he kissed her He was walking on air all week Well, they couldn't stand to be apart They couldn't leave one another alone Her mama used to say, 'It's getting late sweetheart It's time that boy went home' And upstairs papa kissed mama And she gave him a sweet caress He said, 'Here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness' It was the last day of summer They came walking home hand in hand They went and told her mama They showed her the wedding band Mama cried and poured the wine Papa just said God Bless Now, here's to the two young lovers Let's wish 'em every happiness |

True love will never fade
True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade I wonder if there's no forever No walking hand in hand Down a yellow brick road To never never land These days I get to where I'm going Make it there eventually Follow the trail of breadcrumbs To where I'm meant to be To where I'm meant to be I don't know what brought you to me That was up to you There's so many come to see me Who want their own tattoo I fixed a needle in a holder Laid my hand upon your spine And there upon your shoulder I drew the picture as your sign When I think about us I see the picture that we made The picture to remind us True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade I worked the rowdies and daytrippers Now and then I think of you Any which way we're all shufflin' Forward in the queue They like to move my operation They like to get me off the pier And I dream I'm on a steamer Pullin' out of here When I think about us I see a picture that we made The picture to remind us True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade True love will never fade |

We're taking on water
Diesel and stores Laying up awhile Before I'm back on board They're patching her up To go fishing again They're welding her rudder Scrubbing her keel Scars on her belly Need time to heal In the dock With the trawlermen I know all the people There's nobody new Soon we'll be leaving With the same old crew On the green water The tumbling sea They ain't running Like the good old days Time's just slipping Down the old slipways In the dock So dear to me Dark is the night I need a guiding light To keep me From foundering On the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there At the end Of my wandering Back in the dock ah~ I could use a layoff Getting my strength back But there's a loan to pay off And a few skipjack So it's a turnaround Back in the southerly wind Pirates coming in To steal our gold You can count yourself lucky With a profit in the hold In the dock When we come in Dark is the night I need a guiding light To keep me From foundering On the rocks My only prayer Is just to see you there At the end Of my wandering Back in the dock |

I'm different I don't care who knows it
Something about me's just not the same I'm different that's how it goes I'm not going to play your god damn games Got a different way of talking Got a different kid of smile I got a different way of walking Drives the women kind of wild (He's different) I don't care who knows it (There's something about him) that's not the same (He's different) that's how it goes I'm not going to play your god damn games Not saying that I'm better than you are Or maybe I am All I know is when I look in the mirror I like the man (we like the man!) I'm different that's how it goes Something about me's just not the same I'm different that's how it goes I'm not going to play your god damn games I walk down the street in the morning and Blue birds are singing in the old oak tree Yeah I sing a little song for the people Little song from me (tralala lalala lalala laaaa) (He's different) I don't care who knows it (There's something about him) that's not the same (He's different) that's how it goes I'm not going to play your god damn games (He's different) I don't care who knows it (There's something about him) that's not the same (He's different) that's how it goes I'm not going to play your god damn games |

It gets so dark before the dawn
That's when it gets to me Before the city symphony of taxi horns That's the way it always starts Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart Last night I thought I heard my name Well it was too dark to see, but it had to be The voice was just the same That's the way it always starts Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart So tell me why should it have to be this way Why can't it be all right Why can't I sleep at night? Why should it have to be this way? Why must there be this price to pay? Now all the streets are dark and bare Oh, if you can live in this town And stick around, you can live anywhere That's the way it always starts Sitting here and waiting on the beating of my heart |

The scaffolder's wife
Driving out of the yard With a face that's as hard As a scaffolder's bar - When she goes into town She might take the top down On the car The quick little steps In the stiletto boots And the hair with the roots She comes in as a rule To get the nails done And the tan for the sun When the kids are in school Don't begrudge her the Merc It's been nothing but work And a hard life Losing her looks Over company books - the scaffolder's wife In the wicked old days When they went it alone Kept the company going On a wing and a prayer They don't pay what they owe When they have the cash flow - they don't care Don't begrudge her the Merc It's been nothing but work And a hard life Losing her looks Over company books - the scaffolder's wife |
