Tell me why were never more than strangers
Tell me why you never let it show

* But when youre close to me
And whisper, I need you
In the cold mornin light

** Try me, oh take me for a little while
Before its over and you leave me with just a smile
Try me, oh let me be the one
You say its over
But for me it had just begun
Tell me why we seem no more than strangers
Tell me why the feelin never goes

* Repeat
** Repeat

* In a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
High geared razzle dazzle, recession is the trouble
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

Thirty hours on the floor and twenty partners left
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
Feel so tired it must be a week
Nearly on my knees
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

California, you always seem to have the sun
But I never really got near to it
And you try your hand at anything you know
Just to try and earn a dollar

* repeat
** repeat

High flyers, wailing birds
I'm so far out to sea
Ships are passing every night
Oh, all my boyish dreams And your every melody
With the sea tides tossin' free
Never, never holdin' back
Rock and rollers drift by
(instrumental)
Turn to summer, goes so fast
Seems I'll never see you
One weekend and a photograph
Oh, all my boyish dreams

* Cold run "Speed Highway" was the place where we'd all go
When our nerves were razor sharp, and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

** Our machine's geared up, and we're really layin' it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
'Cause I'm well greased down, and I'll always win it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll
** Repeat

Saturday night, we're all on the lookout for some thrills
Try to catch the band's last song
Backstage pass really showin' out
Feel that's where I belong

Sittin' down with all the big stars at the bar
I really have a rock vocation
From monopedemania to schizophrenia
Rise to any situation

* of old lost love, where will you go
When the show is over
Nobody wants to know

**
We need to feel
Something that's real
'cause you're losin' from the start
So be careful with your heart

** Repeat

Partners in the next bed and they're dancing cheek to cheek
Can't understand their highbrow conversation
Yes, you're pretty, who needs a pretty face
With a hot lips reputation

* Repeat

* Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Don't misunderstand it, baby needs some more

Lovin' up some ransom, weapon and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage lesion make a mark on you
Make a big tome status,
then we run them through

** Mother Mary could you
ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a
wild colonial boy

Lady love to hang on
Played it like a real intellectual
Sweet sister your still shaking
And your tragedy is never ending
Silver shoes you're wearing
Every window there you've ever stared in
Over my head, over my head

Sidewalks of the city
Every theater there you've ever played
Your comic book impersonations
Louise Fazenda and Buster Keaton [+++]
Over my head, so it's all

** Out in the street for just one more matinee
Yes, your vaudeville carries on
So put a smile in front your man can see
Yes, your vaudeville carries on

Was a fast tough woman loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me
Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills

*Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

** I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

solo

Holding out in my hotel room police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution, and my prints upon the gun

Kids gettin' tired, hangin' around
So fuck sure thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in, can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt

Can't stop a train with just a smile
Stop me at the start only for a while
Hole in my pocket, hole in my arm
Al that's left when life's lost its charm

This could be for us just any other day
Come on girl, we've really got to get away
It's the only chance you'll ever heve to change

Kids gettin' tired, hangin' around
So fuck sure thinkin' aloud
Can't get it in, can't get it out
Sure ain't enough and there ain't no doubt

Can't win or lose when there's little left to choose
Now 'til next year it'll always be the same
The black back streets and people
Who don't kniow your name
Go with the wind, it'll only carry us away

I really tried my hardest just to make you understand
(what) it feels like to a boy, when he don't feel like a man
But you gave me so much money
And you would not understand
I realize I hurt you, so I stay just as I am

*
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
Yes, the whole world keeps on turnin'
But the whole world keeps on turnin'
I just roll along

There's been one too many mornings
And one too many years
One of life's delinquents
Who just can't take the pace

We found out the hard way
I hope you understand
That my life is just my habit
And I had an overdose

* Repeat

I used to try, I used to try
Used to cry, oh I used to cry

* Repeat

I thought you'd listen to my reasoning
But now I see, you don't hear a thing
Tried to make you see how it's gotta be
Well it's allright

All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me

Things could work out just like I want them to, yeah
If I could have the other half of you
Yes you know I would if I only could
I said it's allright

All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me

I ain't telling no lies, so don't you sit there and cry, mama yeah

All or nothing, all or nothing, all or nothing, for me, for me, for me,
All or nothing, need it, all or nothing, all or nothing, I gotta, I gotta, keep on
All or nothing, I need it so bad, all or nothing, I want it right now,
All or nothing for me, for me, for me, c'mon
All or nothing, gotta have it now, all or nothing, I need it so bad
All or nothing, for me, for me, for me,
All or nothing, gotta gotta, all or nothing, need it so bad,

(all right, ooh uh, oof, mmm, jesus I wish I hadn't worn these tight trousers!)

Oh Belladonna, never knew the pain
Maybe I'm crazy, maybe it'll drive me insane
The open letter just carelessly placed
And your moving silence,
the tea so delicately laced

* Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much
Out of reach, out of touch
How you've learned to hate so much

Came from passion, and you gave it a name
The fingers of poison like needles in the drivin' rain
So smile discreetly as you watch with such grace
Now I must slip away, but can you forget my face

* Repeat

Fast as light our jets were burnin'
On the road a distant siren song
Hands upon my engines growin'
Vincent's[+++] deep throat breathin' out so strong
I can hold her, can you roll her
Ride her like there's no tomorrow
Siren's song sure is growin' stronger

Run down, low down, don't feel tired
Take no orders, don't get fired
I waste away cruisin' along

Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms
Hold the wheels tight, know I'm born to ramble on
Cruisin' along
But I stop, turn my head around
Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms
In my arms,
Highway lady, lorelei, dream the big time high above
Highway lady, high on wheels make you smile again

How she feels

Found my way to spanish stairs
Small corruption, no one cares I taste a lie
Cruisin' along

Fighting blizzards, ragin' storms
Hold the wheels tight, know I'm born to ramble on
Cruisin' along
But I stop, turn my head around
Sleep until tomorrow, in my arms

Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone

* You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the Street
Hard times, hard to beat

** The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

Euston station and it's cold as ice
AlI night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care

I'm a loser, I'm a loser

Come from the land where
The wheat is still wheat
Where the waters in the rivers is still water
In this land every man lends
A hand when you need it
But your hands are full of life
So you can help yourself and feel it

It's been a long way from the red of my home
From the valleys
And the green plains never ending
Everyone knows that the sun in his land is stronger
And your hands are full of life
If you can only wait just longer

So let it be a small haven big in your heart
Don't let it turn into a nova
Tryin' to climb and climb

Try and forget this place where
I can still find time
To sing in rhyme

Martian landscape,
I'll learn to lie in your arms
Where all the freedom is mine and it comes
Martian landscape,
I'll turn my face to your sun
Where your horizon is mine and it comes

Come from the land where
The wheat is still wheat
Where the waters in the rivers is still water
In this land every man lends
A hand when you need it
But your hands are full of life
So you can help yourself and feel it

So let it be a small haven big in your heart
Don't let it turn into a nova
Tryin' to climb and climb

Martian landscape,
I'll learn to lie in your arms
Where all the freedom is mine and it comes
Martian landscape,
I'll turn my face to your sun
Where your horizon is mine and it comes

Martian landscape

Said she came from Memphis
You can look but please don't touch
Didn't like rock and rollers
Seemed a bit much too much

* Cause it's the natural thing you feel at the start
Natural blood starts to flow
Yeah, the natural thing, you get at the start
Then she'll never let you go
Hey girl, now does it feel alright Think I'm gettin' through
Don't you think the band's real tight Wait til we start to move

** May sound funny but you gave it to me
I didn't even like it
May sound funny but you gave it to me
And now I got to live without it

I been down to Atlanta
Got to move my feet
Gettin' down for the last encore
With every star she meets

* Repeat
** Repeat
** Repeat

Why'd you do it, why'd you do it

Something going on at the corner of the block
It's the kids down there
They were startin' to rock
High black fever runnin' everyplace
When the greek kid pulled a knife
And pushed it in his face
Some girl makes it with a lover in the door...
As the ambulance pulls away,
She cries out more

And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
You need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you ain't survive
On with the action

Mama's boy and teacher's pet...
On with the action
It's down our street, is it in yours yet

All the kids stand laughin'
They never had such fun
Then someone cuts a blind man who just can't make a run
And the queen who's been standin' behind the toilet door
His parents don't like boyfriends, call him a whore
But the minister's starin'
With his Bible in his hand
Was this god's children, he didn't understand

And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
You need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you ain't survive
On with the action

And it's all night long, all night long
On with the action
You need the fastest legs alive
On with the action
If you can't run you ain't survive
On with the action

A little bit of you runnin' through my bed
Little bit of everything
You know that's what you said

Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love

And there's your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they won't understand

The social life you lead leaves nothin' to desire

Don't wanna see you bleed
But you came on like a liar -repeat

Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love

And there's your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they won't understand

Wrecked myself to love you
All you want is more
One thing you're after
You just try and score

Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love
Try hard, try hard to reason, reasons love

And there's your indulgence
And parents try to get you out of these jams
You got that appetite they won't understand

I'm every man here in disguise
Lie cheat and give you a spoonful of lies
I'm a high toned mother with an axe to grind
Come a little closer honey, see what you find

Your worst nightmares all rolled in one
I'll find you sure as the rising sun
Don't make a noise it's understood
'cos this ain't no story like red riding hood

I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man oh yeah
I'm your back door man, come on babe, and I'll take you where I can

Systematically I choose at will
But with you there's an obscene thrill
It's funny now how you can't say no

It's the smell of fear that you love so

I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man, oh yeah,
I'm your back door man baby, just take it where you can

This first kiss has a touch of ice
Now how's that feel, it ain't so nice
Blackhearted mamma I've something new
Oh lord look what I've turned into

I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man
I'm your back door man, I'm your back door man

Daylight's rising across the plains
This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
I smuggle whiskey, I smuggle gin
Where there's a need well I just truck on in

I'm a gambling man, son of a gun
I'll take the risks now baby I'll make the run
Wanna get home now, back in the saddle
Ain't gonna drive this kinda grade a cattle

Daylight's rising across the plains
This rig is streaking like a hellbound train
Albuquerque now, new mexico
This rig is class, it ain't a one night show, yeah

* (and I'm) one step closer to the devil
One step further from the law
Lord I guess I'm just on borrowed time
But I'm one step closer to the
One step closer to the borderline

18 hours on this one long shift
Wanna hear the sweet sound of my tailgate lift

Lord I'm dying out on this road
Wanna see my baby, help me unload

* repeat

Rolling stock now, shifting steel
Got a woman with a touch to heal
Diesel, dust and my wheels are humming
So close to home, can you feel me coming

* repeat
To the borderline...
To the borderline

(instrumental)

* repeat
To the borderline...
To the borderline...

Wheels are rollin' down on home

Well she struck like lightning
Sent the blood rushing to my head
And she was so exciting
I took a walk I didn't have to be led

* and I had my highlights, I had it all
I thought that life was my crystal ball
Now there's a highway running
She drove a truck right through my life

** I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by lust and my desire
I jumped in to the burnin' fire
Led by lust my desire

Well I was born a preacher
Fire and brimstone I'm a baptist man
She was god's own creature
What she didn't know you wouldn't understand now

* repeat
** repeat

Well she skipped across the floor
And she looked so fine
With her hair flowing back
I thought she was mine
I dreamed on in my own head
Now lord I wish I was dead

** repeat
** repeat

I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win
I jumped in, I jumped in
To the burnin' fire
And you don't win

** repeat and fade out

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

Living, loving, I'm on the run, far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going 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 strain and I can't take any more

Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor

Is she waiting now
Do you think she really really cares
Is she standing and looking with her hope
Her fingers through her hair

Looking at the future you and me baby
Life lately don't seem like wonderland
Nothing here nothing coming in
Money goes like a wino's gin
Slips through my hands

* (and) I know it ain't easy
I get drunk like a fool
There's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule

** hold on to this love
'cos I don't want to lose you
Hold on to this love
'cos I don't want to lose you

When the lights go down
Do you think she really really cares
As she's lying there with her arms around you
A strange affair

Looking at the lights on lakeshore drive
In the windy city now
Will our love stay alive
Last night I held you in my arms
You looked and said "baby, we will survive"

And I know it ain't easy
'cos life gets so cruel
And there's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule

** repeat
** repeat
* repeat

Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to
Who you gonna see tonight babe
What you gonna wear, who you gonna know
Who you gonna see tonight my baby
From the back of a one dollar down
Did you ever think I wouldn't be around
This ain't a stand off ain't no fight
But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?

** repeat
** repeat and fade out

Have you ever had the time to see,
me and you could change to be
Take a dream away with you live it now and you will see
Found myself on an open road got no hand to show the way
Upped and started walking on to a land seemed so far away
After so long felt I was damned
then I reached some gates and held a hand
But came to the point of sing and say,
laughing people led me in to stay
Their happiness held me strong.
I felt this is where I belong
I don't want another day
just wanna laugh live sing and say
It's so strange I feel this way,
it's so real, it's happening today,
Stop still something burns
my body falls I begin to turn

Flying drifting falling down,
I found myself beneath the ground,
In a place that's strange to me,
the earth is black and there's not a tree
Well its so dark there's not a sound
just the feeling of wanting to be found
I must make haste to be gone,
in this place I do not belong
I thought I tried to move a foot,
I just remained where I stood,
And in the distance I heard aloud
the shrill of blank deathly sound
I tried, I tried, I tried to run,
but every move I was where I begun,
It's too late, shadows over me
blind my eyes I cannot see
All my strength all my love,
someone help me please above,
Death will surely take me down,
I'll be doomed to live beneath the ground

See your tomb, see you run,
you fool, you fool your life has just begun
I'm here to taunt and torment you
I can make you do what I want you to

Black it out and drag you down,
all kinds of evil wear a crown
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt,
lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe it's true
but I have no fear of what you can do

See I'm free I can be
just anyone that I want to be
Leave me now get out of my way

See your tomb, see your rock,
who are you fooling life's just begun
Here to taunt, to torment you
I can make you do what I want you to,

Knock it out drag you down,
all kinds of people were aware of it now?
Chase you rape you feast upon your hurt,
lay your body in the dirt
If I were a fool I'd believe its true
but I have no fear of what you can do

See I'm free so leave me alone
I wanna go my way and be alone
Get out of my sight, get out of my way

I'm not through, and I'm on the run,
you're the fool my life's not been done
I'll taunt you and I'll torment you

Have this way with a dream
never leave me so it seems
Life by night, life by day,
the tale they tell will always stay
Walk the earth, walk the sky,
don't let all this time go by
Hang on fast, don't let go
or someone else will never know
Ride a road along with me
chase a dream we all can see
Don't let bad, just see good
it's all that just what you should
No truth will ever come along
shine so bright in your eyes
No wide wonder will do that for you,
just lock it fast, do what you got to do
Shout it loud, shout out loud
just live how you want to be
Show yourself show yourself,
live how you got to be

(More instrumental, followed by a verse from Rudyard Kipling's "Gunga Din" taped backwards:
"Though I've belted you and flayed you,
by the living God that made you,
you're a better man
than I am, Gunga Din."

and then, in ultra super-slo-mo,
"yes we know its all be done before before before before before before")

If you want me to do everything girl just for you
Change your mind telling me lies
Come and see you in the morning come and see u in the morning

Time after time, told me lies these are things girl which I despise
If I go wrong in your eyes, leave you girl in the morning,
Leave you girl in the morning

As time goes by wish you had never treated me so bad
You know you're only going to want me back
Far away in the morning far away in the morning

If you want me to do everything girl just for you
Change your mind telling me lies
Come and see you in the morning, come and see you in the morning

Follow you home in the morning, follow you home in the morning

A greyhound bus weaves it's way across town
I'm sitting here thinking
Never thought I could be brought down
And low yes I'm sinking

* bet on a wild one, I got stitched
Caught up in a fight
I was dreaming, dreaming, oh I saw you last night
(I got a) 4 by 8 on riker's yard
8 to 15 I'm doin' hard
For you and your lover
Shot through the head
Air conditioning lead

The honeymoon was over
With the telephone bill
Yes you've been tumbled
With your fingers in the till
The chelsea hotel with a private line
Now it's payback time

** sha la la la I can't let you go
It's not over till it's over, no
Sha la la la I can't set you free
Oh no can't let go
'cause I put you right above
Love deadly love
Love deadly love

Through the shadows of my backyard
Now brother I'm leaving a calling card
This mission tonight
Feels so right mr. d.o.a.
Some they can take it and some lie down
Some just wear that thorny crown
Like a halo round the head
Oh now you're better off dead

** repeat

** repeat

There's a visit and one phone call
And sometimes a stroll
If I'm straight in five years
Maybe remission or parole

* repeat

Five card stud that's your game
I'll cut stack and lose it's all the same
You could never say no never say no no no no

Love deadly love, love deadly love
Love deadly love, love deadly love
Love deadly love, love deadly love

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

* misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be with you
Don't say that you'll never know
Love to love to love you

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's they rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

* repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

Guess it's just the same old story
Fool I didn't have a chance
She took me like a house that's burning
Never gave a second glance
Eat 'em up let 'em go and you never
Let your feelings show
She ain't here and you're asking why
Life's a bitch and then you die
Come on lover just let go
Is there something I should know

Was it just one of those nights
Something you don't remember, yeah
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember

Sitting at the bar drinking beer
Happy hour's over and love's cost me dear
The piano player sits at his stool
He's playing "feelings" ain't' life cruel
Uptown downtown life's a river
And I wish I could drown

I could still hear those loving sighs
A lesson learnt love's just a lie

I know I made a big mistake
With love there's no even break
There's a price you have to pay
I got the bill when I heard you say

* (was it) just one of those nights (baby)
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something you don't remember

Was it just one of those nights, baby
Something I don't remember
Just one of those crazy nights
Something I don't remember

* repeat

Hey now!
Pulled up back of the parking lot
This ain't miss daisy now, look what I got
.357 and it's primed for time
I'm just 16 but I'm blowing like a wind chime

I get up, I go down
Guess you could say I'm from the wrong side of town
Tank commander in my neighborhood
Well read my lips is this understood

* it's your nervous breakdown
It's your teenage shakedown
Your nervous breakdown
(just one of those things)

I've seen all the movies on the late late show
Clint and schwarzenegger taught me all I know
So open up and hand the money here
This is the start of an illustrious career

I get up, I go to bed
I sleep good with a price on my head
I love the glamour the girls and the car
From lemonade to old courvoisier

* repeat

* repeat (without last line)

Catch a falling star put it in your pocket
Take hold of the moonbeams, hang them around your neck

Prince Kajuku´s coming feathers in his hair
Tapping on his juju stick, take you down there

Prince Kajuku holds you never let´s you go
Feel his power around you when your weakness shows
Take a starry circle hold it in your hand
Never let Kajuku take [guide] you to his land

Catch a falling star put it in your pocket
Take hold of the moonbeams hang them around your neck
Kajuku, Kajuku, walking down the street
Tapping on his juju stick, take you down there

Love lies bleeding, from the east now to the west
I'm waiting to put your loving to the test

* I need to know, I need to give
I need to feel to breathe and live
I'm cutting loose and I'm breaking out
I'm goin' to leave you baby in no doubt 'cause

** this will be my own revolution
With a burning flag held high
I will make my own constitution
Till the day I die

Sensations in every move that you ever make
Revelations what you now give you can't take

* repeat
** repeat

If hell is to give I'm wondering what I'm going to do
And I just couldn't see, oh and how
My feelings run hot and I just couldn't stop now

** repeat
** repeat
** repeat
Till the day I die, till the day I die, till the day I die....

Quit my job at the 7-11
3-d vision and a glance of heaven
Picked up my six string began to play
Just one touch and it started to say

All your dreams will come true
Lovely mansion with a pool so blue
A red ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life

* running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see

A thousand motels waiting to trash
Tv dinners, well I love that bash
And if you eddie, just say hi
This party's open so drop on by

All your dreams will come true
A sunny haven from the inland revenue
Hot nights in paris a chance to dance
Since I signed up I've been living in a trance

* repeat

I'm feeling sick like dawn of the dead
I've got marines marching through my head
John-boy walton, he's so nice
So come in this must be paradise

All your dreams will come true
That lovely mansion with it's pool so blue
A red ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life

* repeat

No use in pretending, it's not been and gone
There's no defending, this feeling's all too strong
Every time and every place, I see magic in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight

Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She had me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing feels better
And I know now she's the only one

Dealing with emotions we can uncreate
Being held under, oh how you infatuate
Every step and every move I see it in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight

Oh, baby, she's the one
I was cut right down now
Oh, she left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
Nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one

* oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one

* repeat
Only one....she's the one...

This morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land
Lying there all still lying there upon the sand
A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground
And being the kind of person who isn´t very easily alarmed
Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find
Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door
Knocking on a window to see if I could find out more
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high fly me high, away

All of a sudden the door slid back and someone was there
A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue
"Step inside, we´ll take you away in our plane
To leave this earth, never you will rule to complain"
Stepping inside I fixed myself into a seat
Holding on, Lord, I heard them engines start to beat
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high, fly me high away

Lost myself in a distant starry storm
Trying to find my way down
Somebody shut child a door in my head
Had to turn around

But I gotta little time to set by
Gotta let my feelings all shine
You know that it will be all right
I gotta get your love for just mine

Found a starry storm it held me close,
Tryin' to find my way home
Took a distant walk in a starry mile
Had to turn and smile

But I gotta little time to let my
Gotta let my feelings all fly
You know that it will be all right
Gotta get your love for just mine

Hold on fast gonna catch a shooting star
Gotta find me a way
Get from this starry storm today
Never leave this place

But I gotta little time to let fly
Gotta let my feelings oh shine
You know that it will be all right
Gotta get your loving just right

Found a starry storm held me close
Take me back today
All I want to do is fly away
Really couldn't say

But I gotta little time to set by
Gotta let my feelings all shine
You know that it will be all right
Gotta get your loving just right

Lost myself by heaven's chance
Trying to find a way down
Took a distance walk in a starry mile
Had to turn and smile

But I gotta little time to let fly
Gotta let my feelings oh shine
You know that it will be oh right
Gotta get your loving just fine

Caught in the crossfire, warnin' fight
Legends make or break game
Swept up by the rolling waves of the night
The paper chase for fame

I was too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I was too, too hot
Too hot to handle

Wink of an eye, the feelings ran high
A real rock and roll molest
But I ain't no romance
And I ain't no slow chance
Won't get no quick change

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

Sha la la la, roll you over
Turn you around and do it again
Sha la la la , keep on coming
Do it once but never the same

I'm in your town, won't fool around
I'll make some action stick
Just like the story says, these boys are bad
So keep out of shootin' range

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby

And I'm too, too hot, baby
Too hot to handle
Yeah, I'm too, too hot, baby

He walked into the sunset
He walked out of the dawn
He rode that Palomino
It was a one man storm

Oh is this the party
Ah I just got started

He disappeared fell down the cracks
He walked out never came back

Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Falling down the stairs
Falling out of cars
Lying in the gutter
Just looking at the stars
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you?

Oh is this the party
Ahh I just got started

It was the biggest circus in town
They came from far and wide
Consuela and her sisters now
Couldn't hold the tide

She was a girl with a diamond smile
Lost herself on the golden mile

Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Falling down the stairs
Falling out of cars
Lying in the gutter
Just looking at the stars

Oh black and blue
What are we gonna do with you
Oh black and blue
I guess baby that we're through
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you
Oh black and blue
We're stuck together
With just a little glue now

He was a man sad and over
Caught a bus back to California
Oh black and blue
Look what loves done to you
Who's been beating up on you
Out of this cuckoos nest
I guess you flew
Where are you tonight
Oh black and blue
Who's been beating up on you
Turn out the light
My baby's in flight

It was a blinding light
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whiskey fury
Pounding like the devils rain

Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight

Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer

Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight

We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river

Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Hold on to this night

I guess that we've been here before
I still have my feet on the floor
This long evening's cold and bare
Don't we look just a funny pair

And you pull a spell on my heart honey
And there's nothing I can do about it
Cos I love you

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

If I don't come through it honey
Just let it go right

Our shadows dancing across the floor
I never wished for, never wanted more
Your diamond smiles and long black hair
You're much more baby than I ever dared

And if this whole world goes crazy darlin'
There's so much in my heart
And I'll love you today babe

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
Did we do it darlin' till the day we die
Holding on
Holding on now

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

I guess that we've been here before
Oh baby now I think we know

Can you hear me
We ain't about to quit boy
The bands back in town, alright
And you can all juice off

Show me a mountain, show me the top
Show me a woman that just can't stop
Hey baby set me free

Well I'm stuck down here in the cellar
I got shotgun in my hand
Somewhere my baby's going blind

And it's hard being me, Hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me It's hard being me
I'm a crazy man

I got wounds and cuts, Shining like dimes in my eyes
Somewhere my baby's going blind
Sometimes I wonder, Sometimes I confuse
Oh baby we can loose, Oh my baby's going blind

And it's hard being me, Hard being me
I'm dizzy like a monkey on a tree
Hard being me, hard being me
I'm shaking like a leaf
Shaking like a leaf on your monkey tree

First changing mirrors
Fly up on the wall
Hi honking honey
This is my call
Oh I'm changing faces
I guess I'm Mr. Hyde

It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body

Burning like a bush fire
Sinking in the mire
I trapped her like a birdie
Caught her in the wire
And when it all comes down babe
I am left sitting on your fire

It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body

I am stuck down here in the street
With a Chinese bone
And Chinese feet
It was a hard heavenly body

It was a hard heavenly body
It was a hard heavenly body

Oh I'm changing faces
I guess I'm Mr. Hyde

I hear they hung the jailer
The messenger is dead
The piano player's singing
To the lovers in his bed
This road is winding back
And there's no end in sight
No sign of our dead Lord
To guide us through this starless night

And through every open doorway
You can choose
And sometimes you win it
And sometimes you lose

This one's for Rosaleen
With a bullet through a breast
This one's for you, my uninvited guest
Oh now my beauty lies
So deep in her sleep
Will some angel keep her spirit sweet

And the simple things to say
Don't always work out that way
The touching of our souls
They don't drift away

I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Fine Spanish lace and a wedding gown
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Jamaican rum and a princess crown

I got the whole damn world wants to shake my hand
I got a map of the promised land
I got a woman with a magic touch
She's half crazy, she's half dutch

Come on Come on, What you got to lose
Come on Come on, Take a walk in my shoes
There's a neck of brandy under the bed
Fifteen children that won't get fed

Come on Come on, I'm a deadbeat hand
I got lightning seeds in my pants
I'm the kind of guy that needs to dance

I'm a rollin' man; that's what I am

I got a chevron vision in my head
Every copy of the living dead
I wear my necktie like a noose
I'm a walking junkyard full of juice

Come on Come on, What you got to lose
Come on Come on, Take a walk in my shoes
I saw Venus was in my hand
She slipped away like a grain of sand
Come on Come on, Oh I am just a lightning bolt

There's no game left in town
There ain't no bar I can't drown
Don't that send shivers up your spine

I got the whole damn world wants to shake my hand
I got a map of the promised land
I wear my necktie like a noose
I'm a walking junkyard full of juice

Come on Come on,
I got a rainy day in Birmingham
Come on Come on,
I'm gonna put the lights out in San Francisco Bay
Turn the night to day

Some other guy, has taken my love away
Some other guy, better start learning how to pray

The world it just keeps turning
The midnight oil's still burning
And you're not coming home

The phone it just stopped ringing
There's no late night singing
What am I gonna do with this life

And the moon it's still waning
Up on the roof it's still raining
Oh it's a mess of the blues
And it ain't nothing but losing you

Some other guy, has taken my very heart and soul
Some other guy has dug a very big hole

The cat it just keeps whining
The dog it just keeps pining
Wasting away
The traffic lights still change
But Oh this house still feels so strange

And the moon it's still waning
Up on the roof it's still raining
But I'm a mess for you
I'm just a mess of the blues
Ain't nothing but losing you
Come on home honey

I should've seen it coming
Should've started running
When you changed your hair
Baby's got it coming
And there ain't no difference here
But the house is just the same
Oh darling you've gone away
Ain't nothing but the blues
That you've given me
Ain't nothing but the blues
You've given me
And it ain't nothing but losing

Oh come on baby one big please
Give me some lovin' before you leave
Lightning striking like a hammer blow
I'm starting to lose my inner glow

And Money don't come here anymore
Honey don't sing at my door
I got my leaving sticks and shoes
I'm gonna take me on a world cruise

Well I could be basking out in the sun
Or on a bench soaking life away
I might be painting a work of art
Or in the church of a sacred heart

And Money don't come here anymore
Honey don't sing at my door
I got my leaving sticks and shoes
I'm gonna take me on a world cruise

The jailers watch it keeps good time
This is the only place I call mine
And these boots are still on my feet
In God I trust and I shall meet

And Money don't come here anymore
Honey don't sing at my door
I got my leaving sticks and shoes
I'm gonna be on the midnight news

Bet you never thought
That time would go so fast
Bet you never thought
A memory would last
Is it wrapped up in boxes
With your fashion crazies
Packed all away with lifes scars and grazes

Hey baby blue
I still remember you,
Still remember you
In my life
Hey baby blue
Where you running now,
Where you running now
In your own life

Going round
And round and round
In my little world
Going round
And round and round
In my little world

Everytime I saw your face
There was magic in the air
I see a sunny San franisco morning
Baby you meet me there
Sometimes I'm left wondering
Sometimes it makes me so blue
Let me take you down to mexico
Cos I'm still in love with you

Everytime I get to thinking,
Thinking of you
Under a sweet corrella
Does it burn you too
And if sometimes I wonder when,
When sleep don't come at night
I still move and I groove
And I jump and shout
Oh God I'm still in for the fight

Hey baby blue
I still remember you
Don't leave the world behind
Leave the world,
Leave the world behind

Going round
And round and round
In my little world
Going round
And round and round
In my little world

Hey baby blue
I still remember you,
Still remember you
In my life
Hey baby blue
Where you running now,
Where you running now
In your own life

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

Living, loving, I'm on the run, far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going 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 strain and I can't take any more

Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor

Hearts of darkness
Falling down, it's raining stones
Fate is driving
Now theres no meat on the bone
There's a hurricane coming, what a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming, coming over the hill
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man

Cold Wild Turkey
Drives a spike right through my brain
Bar room mothers
Waiting for the gravy train

It's a cold wind a blowing, gone out of control
Time is a running, touching my very soul
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man

Ashes to ashes
Trash is still trash
It's only a moment now and we're gone in a flash

Silver lining
Where's the man with the master plan
Hearts of darkness
Spreading out all across this land

There's a hurricane a'coming, what a bitter pill
There's a distant drumming, coming over the hill
She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man

She took everything, got my jack in her hand
I was born so now
I'm just a fighting man,
A fighting man

Just a common man
Just a common man

*Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll

**She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Laying it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rolling, let them roll right over you
The time will be sound and I'll always put it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

**Repeat

*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

Oh it's been too many times and I can't go back
Night bars, guitars, rundown motels like shacks
What it mounts up to I don't want it at all
Lost you and I want you today

* misty green and blue
Love to love to love you
Misty green and blue
Love to love to love you

To be something, to be with you
Don't say that you'll never know
Love to love to love you

Half the time it could seem funny
The other half is just too sad
This west bound moon's they rise and fall
Lost you and I want you today

* repeat

To be something, to be near you
I don't know where I'm goin' to
I've tried and I need you to stay

*
Try to make some changes really on the line
Given your religion, never ever time
All the jokers laughing, queens upon the floor
Mothers understand it, baby needs some more

Head held up to ransom, by a quick hand and a gun
Just your education, hard to understand
Will the teenage legend make a mark on you
Make a big time status, with a pen we'll stab it through

**
Mother mary could you ever really feel the same
And would you try to understand a wild colonial boy

* Repeat
** Repeat

Hey Now
This year I've been feeling kinda weary
Oh,next year I may not come back at all
Sometimes I hear the angels a singing
Or I can hear my mothers call

Give me a cadillac for a carriage
And you'll hear my name
Whispering through the trees
You can call me Mr. Black
You can call me Mr. Grey
Or you can call me simply,
Call me Mr. Freeze

And tonight I'm feeling kinda beautiful
Tonight I'm feeling kinda warm
And there's a touch of humour
In everything I see
Oh there's a touch of scorn

Give me a Mercedes for my baggage
And hear my name on the breeze
You can all me Mr. Black
You can all me Mr. Green
Or you can call me simply,
Call me Mr. Freeze

If you please Mr. Freeze

Give me a cadillac for a carriage
And you'll hear my name
Whispering through the trees
You can call me Mr. Black
You can call me Mr. Grey
Or you can call me simply,
Call me Mr. Freeze
Oh Mr. Freeze

Give me a Mercedes for my baggage
And hear my name on the breeze
You can all me Mr. Black
You can all me Mr. Green
Or you can call me simply,
Call me Mr. Freeze

If you please

Who's taking time out, we'll take a shine out
We're the boys we got nothing to lose
I've had enough now of school and stuff now
If you ain't with us then it's just bad news

Only you can rock me rock me
Come on back now d o it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kicking out just like a hurrican3

We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say
We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say

Come on the street now on every corner
Breaking out and we're doing what we want to
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light

Chorus

We are here and there's no end
We keep on coming again
We are here and there's no end

We just keep coming again

Who's taking time out, we take a shine out

Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' out just like a hurricane

We'll keep on coming again

We can't wait from day to day
'cause we've got something to say
We are here and there's no end
We'll keep on coming again

Seventeen, a nature's queen
You know what I mean
Twenty-one, a long one
You can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Shadow earth is closin' in
Above the lamps in your street
Lucifer goes walkin'
Down for you to meet
Minutes pass so slowly by
The hands on your clock
Heavens don't just open
You can knock

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

With the darkness closin' in
Will the light reveal your soul?
Just one sweet kiss
On your clay cold lips
A long sleep you'll never know
Where do we go, where do we go?
Where do we go from here?

Seventeen, a nature's queen
You know what I mean
Twenty-one, a long one
You can see the numbers run
Now you look so peaceful
Lyin' there asleep
With the wings of God above you
Before the spirits meet

Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom
Rock bottom, rock bottom, rock bottom

Was a fast tough woman
Loved to play the clown
You won't do nothing about it
Break a good boy's resistance down

*Know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick
And pay the bills

*Repeat

**I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Got to get a fast ride out of here
Got to get a fast ride out of here
Got to get a fast ride out of here now

Holding out in my hotel room
Police they finally come
Had her as the prosecution
And my prints upon the gun

*Repeat
**Repeat

We Was going through a lifetime
I had a banshee on my back
We're down in corpus christie now
Picking up the slack
Now I was wondering where the wild boys
Had started off and gone
This memories jamming buttons
Stuck on some old song

And if you get this message
Leave a sign or make a call
Mohammed's left his calling card
And it's written on the wall

Looking for the wild one, wild one
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one

She was gone in twenty seconds
Right before my eyes
No more honey kisses
No more long goodbyes
And I feel like pink nevada
Or cooler shade of blue
Mother earth is closer now
Walk me out in the morning dew

And if you get this message
Leave a sign or make a call
Mohammed's left his calling card
And it's written on the wall

Looking for the wild one, wild one
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one,
Looking for the wild one
Looking for the

Sometimes I stop breathing
Just to feel reborn
And it's like rolling thunder
Blowing through the corn
Through my back pages
I can see the change
There's a storm a coming now
Coming through the rain

And I'm out here drifitng
A million miles alone

Goin' down to George's where you just have been
To see if you've been boogie-ing, ah you know what I mean
My left leg's dragging my right leg's limp
My heads so wavy and I can't feel it
I gotta see you baby, you'll be alright
I wanna boogie baby, boogie tonight

Well Old George is boogie-ing he's been a boogie-ing with you
Ah I wanna boogie w u baby
I wanna boogie all night long
I wanna move with you I wanna move
I wanna shake, wanna boogie too
I wanna boogie ... boogie
(---jam-and fade--)

Got some money in my jeans and I m really gone spend it right
No more movies for a week or to no more running round with the usual crew
Ah who cares? c'mon everybody

Well my baby's #1 but I gotta dance with 3 or 4
The place is really shaking form the bare feet slapping on the floor
When you hear the music you can't sit still
Your brother won't rock but your sister will
Whoo! c'mon everybody


My place is really rocking so we gotta put a guard outside
If my folks come home I'm afraid they're gonna have my hide
No more movies for a week or two, no more running round with the usual crew
Who cares? c'mon everybody

C'mon everybody and let's get together tonight

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

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

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

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

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

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

*
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 ***

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

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

I don't have no diamond, and I don't have no gold
But I've got a lot of lovin' and I want you to know
That I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk built like this, some folk built like that
But the way I'm built, you shouldn't call me fat
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

Some folk rip and roar, some folk b'lieve in signs
But if you want me, you got to take your time
Because I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

But I got everything all the good girls need
I ... I love you baby
I ... I love you baby
But I got everything all of the good girls need

And I don't got no diamonds, don't have no gold
Got a lot of lovin' to satisfy your soul
I'm built for comfort, I ain't built for speed
But I got everything all the good girls need

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

Living, loving, I'm on the run, far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going 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 strain and I can't take any more

Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you
Living, loving, I'm on the run, so far away from you

Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor, please, oh I'm going fast
Doctor, doctor, please, oh the mess I'm in
Doctor, doctor
