And the time is passing you by is a lonely time and you want to fly Call on me, call on me Call on me, call on me I'll be by your side When you turn around, needing somebody there Who can give you love and show you good care If there's a place inside you that's empty and cold You may need my love, to have, to hold Call on me, call on me Call on me, call on me I'll be by your side To keep you satisfied I want to keep you satisfied Call on me, call on me Call on me, call on me I'll be by your side To keep you satisfied When the clear light of a winter's day Blows cold and hard and the future is grey You can always have the fire of love To keep you warm as the sun above Call on me, call on me Call on me, call on me I'll be by your side To keep you satisfied I'll be by your side To keep you satisfied Don't worry about the rain, baby I'll keep you dry I'll keep you warm inside And satisfied Don't worry about the rain I'll keep you dry, I'll keep you dry Call on me, baby, call on me, baby |

Your blood flows like the finest juice - the kiss of burgundy And where it comes from no one knows, but where it's going i can't see Angeline, oh my angeline My sweet angeline - (y'know) you have rendered me unseen I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen Angeline, oh my angeline You little angeline - you have rendered me unseen I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen And your crystal-coloured cardboard bins - attack me from the paint And i think that i am getting lost among the swollen states Oh rescue me or bury me, for i care not what you do There is just one thing that i want to say am i really you Angeline, oh my angeline My sweet angeline - you have rendered me unseen I would cry a million smiles for my indian city queen |

Well my brother he was a drinking man And i asked him for release He said this won't do you no good And sent for the police Well they busted me for nothing Cos they said i was insane So they let my body go But they locked away my brain Well i wandered freely as a bird that had broken both its wings And i hated them and they hated me and i hated everthing And i realise that to survive well my body is not mine And i feel neglected feel rejected Living in the wrong time And to those of you who always laugh Let this be your epitaph And my head is down and i'm called a clown by comedians that grace The living stage of every page of worthless meaningless space But i swear to you before we're though you're gonna feel our every blow We ain't bleeding you we're feeding you but you're too f*cking slow And to those of you who always laugh Let this be your epitaph |

The willow in the wind is gently weeping
No city lights tonight for she is sleeping But in a little while she will awake and gently smile My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning. Somewhere a siren sounds and she is turning She moves my arm around 'cause she is burning She has so much to give but so little time to live My angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning. As I look down the streets are slowly forming And the ladies of the night have start performing And the trash-collectors horn salutes the dawning And soon the workward bound will they wake up yawning And soft warm hands behind that give no warning Tell me, for just one hour have I been learning I have so much to say but so little time to stay With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning With my angel of Eighth Avenue, Manhattan morning |

I was born on the wrong side of the river
Where the sun never shone on my brass Though the seasons were rapidly changing Oh the best things were coming too fast I was waving the flag of indifference Never knowing the real reason why Casting doubt on my uncertain future It was time for a sudden goodbye I was born on the wrong side of the river Where the sun never shone on my breast Though the seasons were rapidly changing Oh the best things were coming too fast |

Sleeps with the ladies all night Home in the morning light To nothin' Climbs in to an empty bed Pillows around his head Hide the tears he sheds For no one And Byron said Happiness is born its twin In those who share, for they will always win But what about the man who tries so hard But his heart is locked within The original mixed-up kid Must have been at the end of the line When they gave out the forms to sign For someone And he can't make up his mind where he wants to go Ain't there a heaven ain't there a hell well he just don't know For in a crowded street he can see the sleet When the other men just see the snow The original mixed-up kid be on your conscience bound (?)

Too many people about Telling me what to do with myself It's hard to get around Walking on soft soft ground Well they can say what they feel Cause I'm completely foreign I know it's clear It's putting my mind my mind at ease She's reliable but demanding She orders me about She often keeps on wanting 'Til the morning light is out Too many mouths Arguing over nothing Its hard to get around Walking on soft soft ground |

On morning shadows you were ill-spent ";It's time";, you said, or is it time you went I tried so hard to leave you I tried to sleep The hours you keep Oh Lord I wish I could escape this iron veil Ride on my son Ride on my son Ride until you fail Something comes and something goes And something dies before it grows And I'm like a sea diver Who's lost in space [";Sweet";, said His Grace?] Oh Lord I wish I could escape this iron veil Ride on my son Right on my son Ride until you fail |

Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers, you're all the same. Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed. Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl 'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes All the way from Memphis As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold 'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll All the way from Memphis Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole!

I changed my name in search of fame
To find the midas touch Oh I wish I'd never wanted then What I want now twice as much We crossed the mighty oceans And we had a few divides But we never crossed emotion For we felt too much inside You know all the tales we tell You know the band so well Still I feel, somehow, we let you down We went off somewhere on the way And now I see we have to pay The rock'n'roll circus is in town Buffin lost his child-like dreams And mick lost his guitar And verden grew a line or two And overend's just a rock'n'roll star Behind these shades the visions fade As I learn a thing or two Oh but if I had my time again You all know just what I'd do Rock'n'roll's a loser's game It mesmerizes and I can't explain The reasons for the sights and for the sounds We went off somewhere on the way And now I see we have to pay The rock'n'roll circus is in town So rock'n'roll's a loser's game It mesmerizes and I can't explain The reasons for the sights and for the sounds The greasepaint still sticks to my face So what the hell, I can't erase The rock'n'roll feeling from my mind From my mind, from my mind, from my mind From my mind, from my mind, from my mind From my mind |

Made his way out from the low lands
The son of a preacher man Then he seemed to lose direction On his way to the promised land, no no It started with a woman And it ended in a bottle fight The jury would not forgive him When he took a man within an inch of his life When they took away his freedom Buried his soul aside, no no In the company of strangers You find the enemy within, no And the walls that capture evil Keep the faith from getting in In the company of strangers So he sits behind these gray walls Staring at the yellow moon His dreams lie shattered all around him Casting shadows into his room, baby When they took away his freedom They buried his soul aside, no no In the company of strangers You find the enemy within, no And the walls that capture evil Keep the faith from getting in In the company of strangers So the years passed by one day Steps outside to the blinding sun No money in his pockets, and his clothes ????? But under his shirt he wears a gun, no no When they buried him the very next morning ????? that went wrong In a graveyard full of outlaws In a stranger's ????? In the company of strangers You find the enemy within, no no And the walls that capture evil Keep the faith from getting in In the company of strangers You find the enemy within And the walls that capture evil Keep the faith from getting in In the company, in the company of strangers Listen, I've gotta get out of here, I've gotta get out of here... |

I've been up, I've been down, I've been in every situation
I've been pushed, pushed around, and I've been stuck at every station Looking back, felt so good, searching for fortune and fame Suddenly comes to you, you're only playing a game (Don't need no video) no matter what they say (Don't need no radio) you know, love is here to stay Chorus: Lay your love on me, each and every night, baby Lay your love on me, it'll be alright Straight up, down the line, I've got the blues in my soul All I need is my guitar, I got this rock, I wanna roll You gotta fight for what's right, I never did need the fame Suddenly comes to you, you're only playing a game (Don't need no video) no matter what they say (Don't need no radio) you know, love is here to stay chorus (Solo) (Don't need no video) no matter what they say (Don't need no radio) love is here to stay chorus repeats out... |

Bobby's going out tonight, looking for trouble
Everybody likes to fight sometimes Heading south on 41, straight for the action Meeting the boys at the county line He kicks it into overdrive, really puts that pedal down Feels so good to be alive, he's had enough of being pushed around Bobby and the boys walk in, the heads start turning They don't like no strangers in this place, no no Everybody's acting tough, words get spoken And someone pulls a knife in Bobby's face He turns away but it's too late, he's gotta face them on his own Left him there to meet his fate, Bobby's never going home Chorus: Boys cry tough, boys fight dirty Life gets rough, when you're living on a fine line Mary's waiting home tonight, she's dreaming of church bells Bobby says the day is getting near Mary hears the doorbell ring, the blue lights are flashing At 2 am her dreams all disappear Mary's world is turning upside down, she's been left here on her own Her world is spinning 'round and 'round, Bobby's never coming home chorus He said that soon their lives would be as one Looks like you're gonna be the lonely one (Solo) Maybe in a year or two, she'll find someone of her own Mary don't you wait around, Bobby's never coming home chorus repeats 2x |
