Bring It Home To Mama lyrics


Nazareth


Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parkin' sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your left for me?
Well I know you got so many you can choose from
There's always flowers lyin' by your door
I betcha your phone it never stops
Bet you're the queen at the local hops
I bet you get valentines but never keep the score.
Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parkin' sign says free?
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a space in your heart left for me?
I betcha your phone it never stops
I know your the queen at the local hops
I bet you get valentines but never keep the score
Is there a place in your heart left for me?
Is there some space where the parkin' sign says free
Maybe there's just one little spot
Maybe some corner that you forgot
Is there a place in your heart made for me?
Is there a place in your heart made for me?
Is there a place in your heart made for me?

(lennon/mccartney)as performed by nazareth

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knees
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say I know you, you know me
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say one and one and one is three
Got to be good-looking cause hes so hard to see
Come together right now over me

Fast cars,
She lives at the best hotels

Big stars,
She knows them all so well

Lost loves,
Shes had more than just a few

Wrong moves,
She can afford more than you

She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had, second best
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best.

Headlines,
Shes been there once or twice

Feeling fine
She has forgotten the price

She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best
She dont know, what real love is
Shes always had second best.

I'm just a pilgrim here looking for holy ground
I'm just a body lost but my soul can be found
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I don't know where to turn when answers all fade clear
But I must find a place there's only questions here
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I feel...feel like I'm on trial
Who made a judge of you
Are you this month's messiah
I am a fightin' man tired of living under the gun
But am I looking for love or am I looking to run
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon
I heard...I heard it on the wire
That it's all up to you
Are you this month's messiah
How many miles to go
How many miles to babylon

I know that she dont like me
She knows that I dont care
I could mistreat and bad mouth that woman
Turn around and shed be there
She aint got no pride she dont even try to hide
What she does
Its a buzz

To be seen in your limosine
Shell do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rockn roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Her heads full of rock n roll dreams
Shes exactly what she seems
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it

Hangin around hotel bars
Droppin someones name
Usin those lines that you heard before
Playin the same old games
She aint got no style
Eyes that never smile
Feel like youre on trial
She aint worth while

To be seen in your limosine
Shell do strange bedroom scenes
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it
Her heads full of rocknn roll dreams
Shes exactly what she seems
She likes rock n roll, she would give her all
Just to get into it

She wants to interview
Says the world should know your views
With someone you can see right through
Shes just comin on
Tryin to pretend that its
Just a yawn
Ah, come on

Aint nothin so good
As a sunday morning
When the day is dawnin? kinda makes you feel good

There aint nothing so fine
As a lazy weekend
Just hangin out with your best friend
There aint nothing so good
There aint nothing so good as a good time

Theres nothing so right as the right time
I said please ? dont count on me
Said please ? dont count on me
Theres nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There aint nothing so good

Aint nothin so strong
As the strength of a good love
I cant get enough
Cant ever get too much love

There aint nothing so right
As the sound of your voice
Im gonna make it my choice
And get into something good

There aint nothing so good as a good time
There aint nothing so right as the right time
I said please ? dont count on me
Said please ? dont you count on me
Theres nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There aint nothing so good

Sail away
Cant drift too far
Gotta get away
Be where you are
Sail away, sail away
Sail on far
Gotta find a way
Into your heart

Aint nothin so good
As a sunday morning
When the day is dawning
Kinda makes you feel good

There aint nothing so fine
As a lazy weekend
Just hangin out with your best friend
There aint nothing so good
There aint nothing so good as a good time
Aint nothing so right as the right time
I said please ? dont count on me
Said please ? dont count on me
Theres nothing so good as a good time
Maybe there should
There aint nothing so good

Good, good, nothin so good
Good, good, nothin so good

Good, good, nothin so good
Nothin so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin so good
Nothin so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin so good
Nothin so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin so good

Nothin so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin so good
Nothin so good as a good time
Good, good, nothin so good

Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
Look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground

Vibrations, are burning my hands
Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands
Defending the need , with a silent scream
For another time, for another dream

Jack boots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now

No cheap-o, clean-o, is gonna wash away my blues
I need a good friend that's gonna give me some clues
The one on the cross, he almost had it boss
He was really spreading the news
Ah, but the destruct mutt, he's back in business
He ain't about to lose

Jackboots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now

And the price-for life
Is one more run on that chicken wire
As the hero returns
With eyes of fire
To another man to man, so damn you man!

Old man don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Prat they don't feed on your sacred ground.

Shapes of things before my eyes
Just teach me to despise
Will time make men more wise?

Here within my lonely frame
My eyes just hurt my brain
But will it seem the same?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?
Come tomorrow, may be a soldier
Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?

Now the trees are almost green
But will they still be seen
When time and tide have been?

Oh, into your passing hands
Please dont destroy these lands
Dont make them desert sands.

Standing on a corner in downtown l.a.
Waiting for the man to come along
She comes up to me and says too bad, too sad
You know that hes been dead and gone.

L.a. lady, kinda shady
She picked him up and took him home

I woke up groggy my sight was smoggy
And I knew that it had been blown

Early in the morning sitting in a hotel
Moscows looking fine through the wine
Spaced out I crashed out
When the k.g.b. came on the line.

Its a cold one, bein sent down
Its gotta be fifty below

Mama heres a postcard to let you know
Im in a saltmine and looking for coal

ShanghaId in shanghai
Stood on in tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed

Flyin across the desert from texas to tuscon
But were headed for a southern star
The captain says its fine in havana
This dude behind me needs a cigar.

Hes a big one, hes got a big gun
I guess we better go along

Mister weve got a gig in arizona
Second billing to the rolling stones

ShanghaId in shanghai
Stood on in tuscon
Ripped off and kicked right out the bed
ShanghaId in shanghai
Laid low in frisco
Done in and left behind for dead

Who took the smile out of your face
Who put the tears and sadness in its place
Who took the sun out of your sky
Dont turn around or ask for reasons why
No place to run, nowhere to hide
Its just another love turned bad
Some smoke thats gettin in your eyes

Its just another heartache,just another heartache
Just another hurt to take
Another bridge for you to cross
Its nothing but a heartache, nothing but a heartache
Just another big mistake
Another game you have lost
It aint nothing but a heartache

Always wore your heart out on your sleeve
You said youd always cared and needed to believe
There comes a time to give, there comes a time to take
But a sentimental heart will be the first to break
Dont try to run
Dont try to hide
Its just another love turned bad
Some smoke thats clouded up your eyes.

You can have girls and girls
You can have boys and boys
You can have sex and violence
You can have space age toys
You can have anything that you think will fit
As long as its box office, as long as its a hit

Cinema, cinema

You can have birdmen and snowmen
You can have women in red
Hero taxi drivers talk about evil dead
Black hats and white hats you know what I mean
A flashdance welder and jesus in jeans

Cinema, cinema

Norma jean has gone with the wind
And well never, never see her no more
Jimmy dean you drove that machine
Chased a dream, chased a dream

Weve been up the junction, down the yellow brick road
Weve got beauty with beast
And a prince with a toad
Weve got future adventures
You believe man can fly
Put on your 3-d glasses
Get a shark in the eye

Its a gone dead train
Yes, its a gone dead train

My engine was pumpin steam
And I was grindin at you hard and fast
Burnin down the rails, tryin to heat the way
Haulin ass and ridin up the track
And I laughed at the conductor who was tellin me my coal
It would never last

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Aint no empty cellar
Like a gone dead train

Once was at a time when I could
Mama shave em dry
And raise a fever ice-down chill
Waitin at the station
With a heavy loaded sack
Savin up and holdin just to spill
Shootin my supply through my demons eye
Instead of holdin my time, I hope I will

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
There aint no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes its a gone dead train
Im gonna teach it to learn now, now
Its a gone dead train
Yes its a gone dead train
Im gonna teach it to learn now, now
Its a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to learn

There aint no easy day
When your daily runs a downhill pull
And there aint no easy way
Wishin for some jelly roll
There aint no switch been made
To make your juicy lemon find
A spring to run a dry well full

But then the fire in my boiler
Up and quit before I came
Aint no empty cellar
Needs a gone dead train

Yes its a gone dead train
Im gonna teach it to learn
You know its a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn
Its a gone dead train
Its a gone dead train, you gotta learn
Its a gone dead train
Gonna teach it, gonna teach it, gonna teach it to burn.

We only came here to play rocknroll
Share some times with some people we know
Drink some wine
Give us some time
We aint no wise boys we aint no fools
We tried to play clean and keep to the rules
We take and we give, just playin our gig
But we got laid over
Ya we was done over
Somebody tell us whats goin down
Dont need another vancouver shakedown
Six miles high, six miles along
Chasin the sun weve come to sing you a song
Deliver our goods
Were just rocknroll dudes
All these behind us, and one more to go
Fly to vancouver, to do the lastshow
Its got to be good, like we know that it should
But we got laid over
Ya we was doneover
Somebody tell us whats goin down
Dont need another vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
Vancouver shakedown
We only came here to play rocknroll
Share some times with some people we know
Drink some wine
Give us some time
But we got laid over
Ya we was done over
Somebody tell us whats goin down
Dont need another vancouver shakedown

Do I feel alright?
I'll go anywhere you say you wanna take me
Save me, run away-ay-ay, steal away-ay-ay
'Cause I feel alright
I'll do anything you say you wanna make me
Take me far away-ay-ay, run away-ay-ay
We've been up all night
Tryin' to avoid a situation
Hold me, let me feel your way
'Cause I wanna stay
Let them all start talkin'
We won't give ourselves away
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Do you feel alright?
And can you see me when you're lookin' in your mirror
Crazy, try to find a way, so your heart don't pay
Run away-ay-ay
Don't you give yourself away
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness

Rick danko

I walked into a diner
And the blonde behind the counter
She asked if she could help in any way
Hell, I knew by her smile
Her number I could dial
If I was in the need of company
But as I bought some java
Instead she brought me a cup of chicory
I got those java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee
You know that Ill stay high
Ill drink coffee till I die
Dont pour me water just fill up my cup
You know it takes a lot just to keep me up
Cost may be more than you care to pay
What good is money compared to fightin pain
Dont try to cheat
Its impossible to beat
The only pick me up thats here to stay
I got those java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java blues
Coffees got me
You know that Ill stay high
Ill drink coffee till I die
The taste of java is like a cocaine rush
Nobodys gonna stop me from drinkin too much
Down in bolivia the people are insane
They want as much for coffee as they do for cocaine
Dont try to cheat
Its impossible to beat

The only pick me up thats here to stay
I got those java blues
Coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
The coffees got me now..
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
You know that Ill stay high
Ill drink coffee till I die
I got the java blues
Oh coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh coffee, coffee, coffee
Java blues
Oh the coffees got me
Java blues
Oh coffee, oh coffee
Java blues!

Holy roller, lookin down
Where you think you know
All the answers
Arrogance and pride....are sin
Better look to your, own chances

Chorus:

Holy roller can you save your own soul
Can you save your own soul
Holy roller

Standin, up for jesus
Thats your thing
But youre standin on peoples hearts
Charity is a virtue
To be praised
Better get back on...jesus track

Chorus:

Holy roller, practice what you preach
Heaven, its still within your reach

Holy roller, dont you judge
What you think is goin wrong

Chorus: (2x)

I was feelin good, kinda high and cruisin
I was tryin to forget someone I had been losin
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin crashed out on the ground
You shot me down

I was feelin fine, mellowed out and easy
I was comin back down kinda slow and lazy
Then you came along and fired the flame
You shot me down
I was lyin burned out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down

I was feelin good, kinda high and cruisin
I was tryin to forget someone I had been losin
Then you came along, surprise, surprise
You shot me down
I was lyin crashed out on the ground
You shot me down, you shot me down
You shot me down.

Presidents and peace spreading poets
Getting gunned down in the streets
Shown to us on our prime time screens
For our tea time treat
Lunatics we voted for denying
Everything that they swore
We sit around and shout about it
But we dont do nothing more

Drafted for police action
But they decided on a war
Telling us we were saving mankind
Why dont you ask cambodia
We were solving it with marijuana
We were sure that we could
Always leavin it to someone else
Just knocking on wood

Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches

Well you say you got a say so
But youre knowin that it aint so
And you turn away
You think its safer to ignore it
But the score is your children have to pay
Everybody wants better
Everybody talkin bout it
Are we wastin time
Gotta stop only lookin, talkin
Were all guilty of the crime

Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches

We gotta move, we got everything to lose
We gotta move, we got everything to lose

Were all headed for the front
But everybodys fightin for a good address
Its time we made the changes
Or well be burnin with the rest
We just aint communicatin and I dont
Mean conversations on the telephone
When nero starts to fiddle this time
Theres a lot more gonna burn than rome

Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches
Were goin back to the trenches

Savin? my disgrace
Like a tick-a time bomb inside ame
Been to the mount, seen the other side
Money back, number one, guaranteed
Sole-satisfied

Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all

Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds

Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds

Yknow its nothin? new Im telling you

No feeling when you told me goodbye
No reason when youre living a lie
Dont tell me what I already know
Im living memories of long ago
I fool myself, I deny it all
Wanna hide it away

Lost moments never caring enough
I was never good at playing it tough
Still living in my own little world
Still believing youre the only one
Its always hard, never easier
To face another day alone

Every time it rains I fall apart
I start to remember
Every single time it rains
I think of you.

She was my guiding light
She was my day and night
I hung on every word, no matter wrong or right
She could raise me up to heights Ive never seen

And the coming of age is every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream

She was the first for me
She wet my thirst for me
If I was feeling down
She was a nurse for me
She could take me up to heights Ive never been
And the coming of age is every young mans dream

Oh, oh, shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream

Oh, tu es toujours dans mon coeur
I like to raise my glass
I like to praise the past
Some things go on forever
Some things never last
She could raise me up
She was my fantasy
And the coming of age is every young mans dream

Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, oh shes every young mans dream
Oh, eres siempre en mi mente

She was my guiding light
She was my day and night
I hung on every word, no matter wrong or right
She could raise me up to heights Ive never seen
And the coming of age is every young mans dream.....chorus to fade

Once I had a girl
She called me on the phone
Said come on over honey
You know Im all alone
But when I got to her place
What I saw stopped me dead
She was standin with a shotgun
Pointed at my head
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttin out fast

Once I had a friend
We had a lot of laughs
He was all a friend could be
Knowin him was just a gas
One night I got home
He gave me one surprise
He was standin in a womans dress
Lashes on his eyes
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttinout fast
My, my, my
My, my, my
Had a pretty wife
She was all I could need
Gave me what I wanted
Never had to plead
One day a man called
And he put me wise
Shes doin the same thing
With ten other guys
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttinout fast
My my too bad too sad
My my too good to last
So Im cuttin out fast
My, my, my
My, my, my

One more promise soaked in rye whiskey
One more word that bites the dust on some bar room floor
Im the man who travels round doing...
Hey, we dont talk about that
Ill get the favor done for you
No one will ever know

Then Ill run to mexico

Cold as stone my eyes fall on another
Just another name thats runnin through my mind
At your request Ill do whatever you require
You give me the light, I supply the fire

Then Ill burn for mexico

Pretty senorita, she lies to me
Smiles sweetly in the morning when I wake up cold sweating
cause some day Ill be in the sights

One more call when someone finds a target
Only guarded whispers never mentions names
Money on the line will be just fine...
Youll never be involved
And even if a clue shows youll never know

cause Ill be in mexico

Dragged up, raised tough
Born a mistake
Learned fast the golden rule
Never give, just take
Did no favors, gave no quarter
You all know the story bout
The lambs broadway slaughter.

Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf

Street wise, cats eyes
Showbusiness smile
Lookin for todays mark
On the golden mile
Book wise, movie eyed
So cool dudes.
Aint gonna do no talking
When they find out they been used.

Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf

Got to make some time
Go through the changes
My whole life needs some rearrangin

Self styled reject
Ambitious wisher
Also ran life style
Guaranteed user, like a,
Campaign promise from a three time loser
Got to make my move soon
Because, beggars cant be choosers,
So im,

Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf
Turning a new leaf

Just sit yourself down friend
Pull up a chair friend
There aint nobody here friend
But the people you need

Roll yourself a joint friend
Empty your head friend
Make yourself at home friend
This is where you belong

Chorus:

Put your feet up on the fire
If it makes you feel much better
Have a glass of homegrown wine
Dont you think it tastes fine

Tear you away friend
On a planet to space friend
Faster than you can think friend
Youll be there before you know

Walkin? down on main street
Well, its not the same street like before
Those drinks that Ive been drinkin? were stirred not shaken, ooh its sore
My legs have gone all weak
Its so hard for me to speak anymore
I must get home to bed
And rest my aching head, thats for sure
Drivin? in the country
The grass is green as it was before
Rolled up on that river
Just aint as clean thats for sure
You know my legs have gone all weak
Its so hard for me to speak anymore
I must get home to bed
And rest my aching head, thats for sure
Goin? down to main street to buy some wine
Make some love with that woman of mine
Drink some wine
Love some time
Ah- walkin? down on main street
Well its not the same street like before
Those drinks that Ive been drinkin? were stirred not shaken, ooh its sore
You know my legs have gone all weak
Its so hard for me to speak anymore
Well I must get home to bed
Rest my aching head and thats for sure

Time goes between us, and theres no release
Silent refrence to defenses raised higher
Than well ever need
The more we try, flame inside gets colder to the touch
Taking for granted, gets taken for granted too much

So come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong, show me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to

She never asked anything of me
That I could ever be
Now were lyin? in the shade
Sharpenin? the blades of our rivalry
Untidy lies, they could never disguise
The truth behind the door
Feelins grow nearer, then disappear again some more

So come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong,s how me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to

There can be no contention, come on and move me
Let me feel you move me
Prove me wrong, show me I still belong
Come on and move me
Let me feel you move me like you used to
Move me, come on.

I have not come to worship you
Only flowers at your throne

I have not come to plead or beg
Or to claim what is my own

Oh I know you are the king
And youll say what is wrong

I have come to cut you down
And to leave your body dead

You do not mean so much to me
Nor that crown upon your head

You are just as sad as me
You are lonely flesh and blood

And the time has come for you to die

And now you bleed, please spare my life
You know Im the chosen one

I dont believe what you bequeth
And I must do what must be done

You say youre the only king
Your words just fall like rain

Black cat, dont you look back at me
Good luck, dont hang around me
I been down so long I cant see
Need something thats gonna set me free

Chorus:

I need some good love
I need some good, good love

New love, just passes me by
So bad, I dont even try
Shot down and I ask myself why
Needin someone whos gonna save my hide

Chorus:

Lord I need some good love
I need some good, good love

(lead)

(repeat chorus)

Black cat, dont you look back at me
New love, dont wander round me
Well I try but I just aint no use
I need someone whos gonna turn me loose

Stopped in fright at a traffic light
Red eyes staring me out
Strange feelings comin' down tonight
Can't quite figure it out
Fit your alibi before your crime
No need in serving no time
Case you scam, or you'll get rammed
Stretched out on that line

Hangin' out at a shooting site
Cold turkey calling a tune
All the answers coming late tonight
Try to look like you're immune
In your eyes you can feel the heat
But the feelings outa touch
You're working on just a holding on
You're hurtin' oh so much

Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?

Call off your dogs 'cause i am no fox
Turn off your white light
My alibi is rock tight
Your night stick, cheap trick is pullin' me in
Your monkey suit, stage fright, black and white blue suit, law suit
Is wearin', mighty thin

Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel the city heartbeat, can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?

Borstal boy laughing at justice now he's a star
And the perfume he wore lingers on the king's road
Like a whore
Legs wrapped around a plastic stool
He's making more in one day
Than you've had.......hot, hot dinners

Call out your legions, the savior is loose
Telling true stories you know that ain't no use
Your empire is burning you can feel the smell
Your hot rod , space pod, tax relief, kill machine
Is looking mean
And should be working well

Feel the city heartbeat, feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel the pulse in the streets
Can you feel your own heartbeat
Can you feel your blood begin to heat?

Lord I swear, the perfume you wear
Is made out of turnip greens
And every time that I kiss you girl
It tastes like pork and beans
Even though youre wearin them
Citified high heels
I can tell by your giant steps
That youve been walkin through cotton fields
Ohhhhhh, youre some down home girl
Your shoes are green, your dress is red
And your wiggy head is powder blue
But underneath all of that mess,
Well youre still the same old messy you
Youre sittin there in that fancy chair
Just drinkin champaigne like a movie star
When ya oughta be sittin on a sidewalk
Drinkin white lightnin
Out of a jelly jar
Oh, youre some down home girl
Dimples in your pretty cheeks
And dimples in your knees
You walk by and baby i
Can smell magnolia trees
You tell me youre from new york baby
But I know youre from way down south
I can hear a mississippi mama
Evey time you open up your mouth
Oh, youre some down home girl
Oh, youre some down home girl

Hard times comin? so the messenger said
Better guard your liquor like your own homestead
Took it under cover, then we took it underground
In temptation, we had another round
Governor came, bout eleven or twelve
Under so much pressure,couldnt help himself
Word got out to the national guard
Spread like a fire in a lumber yard

Saddle up boys,and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol

Cavalry came, and we were tumblin? dice
Wouldnt let them in cos they wouldnt ask nice
Drank to the health of friends and foe
Thanks to the lord, but he never did show
Second wind gone as the second wave came
Manned in command, in the presidents name
Kept at bay, kept knockin? at the door
Couldnt care less cos we all wanted more

Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol

Dried up supplies till the morning sun
Never realized where it all couldve gone
List up boys, its plain to see
Hell is merely sobriety

Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol

Saddle up boys and call up the mission
A hundred strong in the providence hall
Pray boys for the prohibition
Damn that demon alcohol

The saddle up, boys
You better pray, boys
Saddle up, boys
You better pray, boys
Damn that demon alcohol.

Slim jim was a stool pidgeon
On the payroll of the f.b.i.
Reverend fred sold instant religion
With a license from the man in the sky
Billy the kid was a gunslinger
Edgar wallace was a dead ringer
Me, Im just a rocknroll singer

Keyhole pete was a keen watcher
Had a telephoto lens in each eye
Jack the ripper was a cool stalker
But his birds no longer fly
James joyce was a mudslinger
Jesus christ was a forgiver
Me, Im just a rocknroll singer

Im not fakin it
Foolin myself that Im makin it
Im not fakin it

Tricky dicky was a fast talker
But his promises were always a lie
Nostradamus was a doomwatcher
Predicted when were gonna die
Cleopatra was a love giver
Jesse james was a born killer
Me, Im just a rocknroll singer

Im runnin tired of this deception
I have no wish to play this game
Too many times a bad connection
And youre still holding me away
Were living under false pretenses
Foolin ourselves, believe the lies
I could not take one more rejection
You wanted more but would not try

Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

Were trapped within our own defenses
The walls we made all look the same
There is no love without affection
Weve come to far to break the chain

Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

Im growing tired of this deception
We fall apart and wonder why?
Our hearts now pull in new directions
We dont know how to say goodbye

Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

Somethings gone wrong with us
Something aint right
Why are we lonely in the night
Why are we lonely in the night

When I was younger I used to understand
That when youre with a girl, you gotta act like a man
Mama told me thats the way it should be
And I know my mama never lied to me.

What do you think about youre changin times
cause when Im with you I just cant make up my mind
Since I met you dont know right from wrong
Somebody tell me just whats goin on

Just cant get myself thinkin straight
Im all shook up and in a terrible state
Sometimes I think I got it all figured out
Then you do something new and it just knocks me right out

Someday baby Im going to have to make a stand
The way that you treat me baby
Dont make me feel too much like a man
And baby, baby, the changes youre goin through
Youre drivin me half crazy
Cant make up my mind what to do about you.

Tellin myself that time is on my side
Youre gettin this feelin that my minds on the slide
Dumped on the floor, I feel Im trapped in a spin
Dont know how to end, cant think of where to begin

She dont care I know she dont even try
But when she turns it on
You know she gets me so high.

Shes a lady thats making my life a sin
You know that Im runnin in a losin race
There aint no way I can win
Baby, baby, the changes youre goin through
Theyre drivin me half crazy
Cant make up my mind what to do about you.

How in the world do I make it stop
round and round and faster still
Im gonna live till I had my fill

Call the crowd and gather round
Youre gonna find me in the lost and found
Bright lights , thats my style
Dont be goinawhile

Got no time for sittin round
Tops are livin proof to
Aint gonna wait another day
Pack my bags and get on my way

Gone and turn around
Youre gonna find me in the lost and found

Sad to be alone
Your only comfort is the telephone
Homesick again
Thoughts of far away
Silence is the only way to say
Aint it a shame
Whats goin down, she dont understand
Cant you be with her every night
Why must it be, youre away so long
But she plays along, and its alright
People all around
You dont see or hear them make a sound
Its not the same
Whats goin down, she dont understand
Cant you be with her every night
Why must it be, youre away so long
But she plays along, and its alright

Countin out the days
That dont help to ease the days away
The price you pay
Homesick again

Hard living, every day of my life
Hard living, every night on the wine

Never givin, any one any time
Always losin, all I had all the time

Yes Im a selfish kinda man
All I need is a helping hand

Bad loser, never had anyone
Bad chooser, never owed never won

Fast mover, everyday on the run
Never knowing, if I feel or Im done

Hard living, every day of my life
Hard drinking, every night on the wine

You were lookin at your mother
So you went and told your father
Daddy dont say nothin hes got plenty in his past
Changed your way of thinkin
So you started drinkin
And you got arrested for drivin blind

Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, its a fact, take the rap

It was lined up on the mirror
And you just started shavin
Didnt know what you were smokin
Cigarette came from a friend
Judge said youre delinquent
You dont want to think it
So you put your head down, started servin time

Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, take the rap

Tried to talkbut I got nothin to prove--why you want to?
Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to?
Why you want me to take the rap?

Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, take the rap

Well your damned if iron barsll
Keep you rottin in a prison
Hell is lookin better cause youll
Never get to heaven
See your chance and take it
Sure youre gonna make it
Youre prepared to take it cause youre never gonna...

Take the rap, take the rap
Its gonna break your back, its a fact, take the rap

My head is on the ground
Take me down
You know I crawled across the floor
Take me down
Crawled across the floor
Back to chatanooga to see my sister once more
Come on take me down

Im not just something you can pick up or put down
Entertainment value, like some circus clown
Dont give green stamps
With my emotions
Donthave a cut price soul
Dont do,
Carry out feelings
Or take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Dont have the kind of heart
You reap and you take away
Keep in your cold store to use at some future date
Dont give a refund on my emotions
No discounting on my soul
Dont do,
Carry out feelings
Or, take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
And take away love
Im not just someone you can pick up and throw away
Someone to join you in arecycled love affair
Dont give green stamps with my emotions
Donthave a cut price soul
Dont do,
Carry out feelings
Or take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love
Carry out feelings
You take away love

Trains, running through the town
Missed my turn around
Trains, got to break away
Got to leave today

Theres nothin gonna stop me
From runnin the tracks
You never saw me comin
And I aint comin back
Ive always been your whippin boy
I think its time for a change

Strange, its always been the same
Its never you to blame
Chains, drag me to the ground
But no one turns around

Theres nothin gonna stop me
From runnin the tracks
You never saw me comin
And I aint comin back
Ive always been your whippin boy
I think its time for a change

Names, numbers on your wall
But Im not gonna fall
Games, Im tired of playin clown
Another side show is leavin town

Theres nothin gonna stop me
From runnin the tracks
You never saw me comin
And I aint comin back
Ive always been your whippin boy

Theres nothin gonna stop me
From runnin the tracks
You never saw me comin
And I aint comin back
Ive always been your whippin boy

Im goin back to new york city
Times square sure will be shinin bright
I know it sure looks pretty
But I dont go down every night.

Im gonna take in memphis
You know the one down in tennessee
And if you wanna boogie
Now thats the place to be.

Sittin in a bar in macon
Drinkin something called rebel yells
When I thought I heard someone ringing
I guess shes a southern bell.

We just cut out of el paso
It just fries there in that desert sun
And if youve ever been down there man
Then you know why we run.

I got jet lag
And livin out an overnight bag
Time changes every day
They do things a different way
Back in the u.s.a.

Tryin hard to make a phone call
Long distance over seas
Yes maam I did say scotland
Could you spell that again for me please

You know that it just blew my mind
Id love to go back there next trip
I sure hope we get some time.

Driving down a detroit freeway
Just lookin at those concrete walls
Hey but its a good town to rocknroll in
What do you mean the police closed the God damned hall?

Flyin home tomorrow
To be theres gonna be just great
And after some time with my lady
Im gonna be back to rocknroll in the states.

It seems to me Ive heard that song before
Far off in some distant land
Or it may have been upon some foreign shore
Burning in my heart again

Ive seen the sounds and I have felt the air
Drumming in my dreams again
Deja vu I dont know now or then
Enemy or maybe friend

Oh but for the love of freedom
Oh but for the love of you
I would never, ever have seen this day
So please forgive me if I weep no more
For friends and lovers far away

Theres been too many times to hear the names
Of friends who have stayed away
Maybe now and then you still recall the pain
As though it was yesterday

Oh but for the love of freedom
Oh but for the love of you
I would never, ever have seen this day
So please forgive me if I weep no more
For friends and lovers far away
For friends and lovers far away

Why dont you tell me that its over
Why do you keep this hangin on
Pack up your bags and run for cover
Say what you mean and see it done

Why dont you cut me loose, you dont need me
Lift up your dress and walk away
Theres nothin left you can say to please me
Youre just a dog whos had its day

You beat around the bush and mumble
About the good old days we had
Your face grows longer as you crumble
You had the good now taste the bad

Let it all hit the fan
Let it all hit the fan

You promised me nothing would change you
More empty words from an empty soul
The same old stories you still cling to
The truth be told you leave me cold

You used to lead the dance and fumble
Howl in the night you could not sleep
You climbed to the top of the hill then tumbled
Too many promises come cheap.

Where me and my friends hang out

Man he knows what its all about
Jed knows some chicks that can be had
Hes got his old mans car
You know that cant be bad
Phil just got numbered in a fight
But we all jumped in now ol phils alright
Hangin out together on the street
Lookin so hot we cant be beat
Keepin so cool when we get hassled
Takin our time to move along
And if youre lookin to start some trouble
Man you dont know what youre takin on

She aint so pretty but, ooh my my my

Just me and billy and all the guys

She aint so pretty but, ooh my my my

Shootin our job to the local ladies
Showin them such a good time
Drinkin our wine and gettin crazy
And movin on down the line
Just me and billy, all the guys

Every song I sings a sad song,
Every note seems out of key,
Every line I write falls out of rhyme,
Since youre far away from me.

Every night I watch the stars fall,
Watch them till Im fast asleep,
But when Im sleeping, Im not dreaming,
Since youre far away from me.

Oh but I need you,
Honest I do,
You know that I miss you,
Ill always miss you.

Every song I hears a sad song,
Every word applies to me,
Loneliness is something I know about,
Since youre far away from me.

It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin lots of nothing
She was none too bright
But youll listen much to anythin
When anythins in sight, wont ya!

Double back trouble like a temperance hall
Shes dealin with the ceilin
And the writings on the wall
Then youre wishing it was over, like an endless fall.

Its a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there aint a train in sight
Oh no! settin my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Playin the game his latest flame

Now its a fine line between passion and dread
Foolin and a droolin
Starts rulin your head
To seduction, destruction
Were so easily lead

And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone
The smell of disappointment
Mirror wants to pick a bone
Its a cup of cold coffee
Like the taste of stale beer
Lets get outta here

Its a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there aint a train in sight
Oh no! settin my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her

Carry the flame and make it last
Carry the blame and kiss your ass goodbye.

Ten years ago, on a cold dark night
Someone was killed, neath the town hall light
There were few at the scene, but they all agreed
That the slayer who ran, looked a lot like me

The judge said son, what is your alibi
If you were somewhere else, then you wont have to die
I spoke not a word, thou it meant my life
For Id been in the arms of my best friends wife

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

Oh, the scaffold is high and eternitys near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ovre my bones

She walks these hills in a long black veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees
Nobody knows but me

Oh, the scaffold is high and eternitys near
She stood in the crowd and shed not a tear
But late at night, when the north wind blows
In a long black veil, she cries ovre my bones

Locked up on monday
Lord I lost my way
I couldnt breathe her name
You know shes after my life

Lately Im stickin to drinkin
And Im headed down desolation road

Habit -a- growin
Set it up just right
I do away my life
On a turn of the dice

Lately Im runnin and hidin
Slidin down desolation road

(lead)

No one to turn to
Losing my best friend
My name is just bad news
And my accounts in the red

Im in need of understandin
Im landin in desolation road

Someone givin? you a hard time
You got on the attack
But some never had a chance in hell
Cos you were on their back
The news spread like a holiday
bout your accident? no roses, no wish you wells
That aint money well spent

I wanna know what you were thinkin
As your walls came down
Surprised eyes of your sacrifice
Or just that youd been found
If they done to you what you could do
Youd be torn apart
You havent suffered quite enough boy
But its a start

You had it comin? comin? to you
You had it comin? really had it comin? to you

My, my, funny time dont fly
When you got you to yourself
And your disease makes you ill at ease
Bad for your health
Then all these questions with your patient replies
Not foolin? anyone
If not for you only strong survive,if they run

You had it comin? comin? to you
You had it comin? really had it comin? to you

Someone givin? you a hard time
You go on the attack
Some never had a chance in hell
Cos you were on their back
If they done to you what you could do
Youd be torn apart
You havent suffered quite enough boy
But its a start

You had it comin? comin? to you
You had it comin? really had it comin? to you

Donna has a nine year old kid
In another months time shes expecting twins
She says she can quit anytime she likes
But I know shes on a mission tonight
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back
Dont pay no bills dont pay the rent
But you dont forget where the money went
And who will you turn to when the moneys all gone
Youll wonder why, why you were born
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back
Shes down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then shell quit
One more dance just one more hit
Remember frank he cut a dash
So much style so much class
Blown away for the coat on his back
The kid that did it sold his coat for crack
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back
Shes down on the dealing floor
She just wants to do one more
One more time and then shell quit
One more dance just one more hit
Donna get off that crack says the sign on the third floor flat
Donna get off that crack just say no get your life back

Look Out The Left The Captain Said
The Lights Down There Thats Where Well Land
Saw A Falling Star Burning
High Above The Las Vegas Sand
It Wasnt The One That You Gave To Me
That Night Down South Between The Trailers
Not The Early One That You Wish Upon
Not The Northern One That Guides In The Sailors
Youve Got That Touch So Gentle And Sweet
But Youve Got That Look So Critical
Cant Talk To You Babe You Know I Get So Weak
Sometimes I Think That Love Is Just Mythical
Up Theres A Heaven,Down Theres A Town
Blackness Everywhere Any Little Lights Shine
Blackness,Blackness Draggin Me Down
Come On Light A Candle In This Heart Of Mine

Starbright,Starbright,Youve Got The Lovin That I Like
Turn This Crazy Bird Around
Should Not Have Got On This Flight Tonight

Im Drinkin Sweet Champagne Got The Headphones Up High
Cant Numb You,Cant Drum You Out Of My Mind
Theyre Singin-"Goodbye Baby, Baby Bye-Bye,Ooh! Love Is Blind"
Up Go The Flaps ,Down Go The Wheels
Hope You Got Your Heat Turned On Baby
Hope Theyve Finally Fixed Your Automobile
Hope Its Better When We Meet Again Babe

Starbright,Starbright,Youve Got The Lovin That I Like
Turn This Crazy Bird Around
Should Not Have Got On This Flight Tonight
Should Not Have Got On This Flight Tonight

There is a town in north ontario
Dream comfort memory despair
And in my mind I still need a place to hide
All my changes were there
Blue blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
Big birds flying across the skies
Casting shadows in our eyes
Leave us helpless helpless helpless helpless
Helpless helpless they leave me now
Helpless helpless helpless
Blue blue windows behind the stars
Yellow moon on the rise
They leave us
Helpless helpless helpless helpless
Helpless helpless they leave me now
Helpless helpless helpless
Helpless helpless helpless helpless
Helpless helpless they leave me now

Countdowns starting, now the goins gettin? rough
I give you my lovin? but I guess it aint enough
Once upon a time you were proud I was your man
Now your low on affection and I get it when I can
When your friends all visit and they see me comin? through
Theres a voice from the crowd sayin? who the hell are you? ? Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?

Wanna be strong, try to put you in your place
I show a little love, get the sand in my face
I try to get up, always something goin? down
Caught in the middle of your merry go round

The wise men say I should leave well alone
But the same wise men just call when you are home
Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?
About....

The wise men say I should leave well alone
But the same wise men just call when you are home
Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view
Im part of the scenery. whatcha gonna do about me?

Im just a part of the scenery here with you
A thorn in your rose, kinda spoilin? the view

About me......

Everyone says connection is easy
I look at my score, experience none
Tossed a coin when I was seventeen
I got the ice, you got the cream
All that you see is stanger than fiction
All that you do defies all description
And you worry about your lack of existence

Then by all means go crazy

Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys

One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin would be alright.

Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah
His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean
With mass consultation, a blind congregation
His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene
Correspondence, the back of a sin rag
If this is deliverence, life is a drag
Searchin salvation, your sightlines get hazy
You got it right,go crazy.

Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys
Talkin to one of the boys
Makin alot of noise
Talkin to one of the boys

One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin would be alright.
Or maybe youll go crazy.

See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty love's burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love that's a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you
See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love that's a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why
Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you.

Well, me and my buddies are goin to a party tonight
And we dont care if we aint got no invite
We dont care if our face dont fit
Gonna grab a little whiskey, grab a little......

Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies,cause well be talkin trash
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash...

You dont really want to know but were still going to appear
Weve got elvis snarls and arrive in biker gear
We dont care if you call the fuzz
By the time they get there well be gone with a buzz

Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies, were gonna cause a smash
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash...

Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies, were gonna move in fast
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash...

Well, me and my buddies are going to your party tonight
We dont care if we got no invite
We dont care if we cause a splash
Gonna drink a lot of whiskey, grab a little...

Gatecrash, gatecrash
Get yourself ready for a real bash
Hide your ladies,cause well be talkin trash
Snort your cocaine, smoke your grass
So get yourself ready for our gatecrash...

Cat's eye, apple pie, what am I going to do,
The woman I loved walked out on me,
What am I going to do.
Hound dog, bull frog, she just up and gone,
The woman I love has done me wrong,
What am I going to do.
Green beans, blackeyed peas,
What am I going to do,
The woman I love has let me down,
What am I going to do.

She's a delta queen know what I mean,
As mean as wildfire lightnin',
She can win and break the heart of any man,
She's the delta queen of New Orleans ,
And she loved me somethin' frightnin',
But she left me for a dollar wavin' man

Party in the kremlin
People seein red
Lenin got the elbow
Its a different mob instead
Party in the kremlin
Its the only place to be
You better wear your rolex
Like a true new revolutionary

Party in the kremlin
No more kgb
So what is it they do now?
Can anybody see?
Party in the kremlin
Its the hottest spot in town
Discos and casinos
Never let you down

Trippin in siberia
Rock and roll hysteria
Vladivostok to moscow
And all points in between
Its a new place
Got a new face
And a brand new dream

Party in the kremlin
Suits from tokyo
Guccis are a shinin
Smokin marlboro
Party in the kremlin
Drivin foreign cars
You better find an angle
If you want to play a part

Dancing bears and presidents
Acting under influence
We got bank loans
And cell phones
And levis to wear
They got us linin up
For mickey ds in pushkin square

Vsea govorjat dal

Party in the kremlin
Party in the kremlin
Party in the kremlin
Party in the kremlin

Theres a woman in new orleans
Said to love me she was born
But that was friday payday
By sunday she was gone
So I drove on down to texas
Where I did not do to well
I fell hard for this woman child
Turn ou she came from...well
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Well I had no luck with women
Thought Id try my hand at cards
So I headed for nevada
Gonna really take them on
But the way the hands were fallin
And the way the money goes
You could say its getting colder
You could say I nearly froze
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
So I started playing guitar
In a southern boogie band
And the ladies I was meeting
Make you want to buy the farm
Gettin tired of saving souvenirs
Dont remind me where theyre from
And the nights come on like magic
In the morning its all gone
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on
To one that I love
Lady luck help me hold on
Lady luck help me hold on

If youre ready for the street
You wanna mix it in some fight
Let me tell you somethin
Now I dont wanna get you uptight
But if youre in a corner
And you cant find no way out
Dont look around for no help
No, no there wont be any around

Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

So you think you got a case
And you think you know the score
No you dont wanna listen
You cant be told no more
But waitll you get out there
You better do it right
cause the streets are lined with things that kill
And theyre hidin in the night

Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

Feel that you can cut it
You think you got the time
Theyll only give you one chance
Better get it right first time
And the game youre playing
If you lose you gotta pay
If you make just one wrong move
Youll get blown away

Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy
Expect no mercy, expect no mercy

(part 1 on your way)
Nazareth

Sent a telegram today
Tomorrow you'll be on your way
Could be memphis or l.a.
No questions just get out and play.

Wake up call to catch the plane
You know you're on the road again
Someone's bangin' in your head
Why did you get so late to bed.
Runnin' late and feelin' bad
That breakfast was the worst you've had
Make the gate no time to spare
Before you know you're in the air.

747 flies us high
Much higher than we're meant to be
You're six miles high but feelin' down
You wish you could be on the ground.

Find your bags and walk for miles
The customs man is waitin' there
Immigration cause delay
You wonder if you'll ever play.
Limousine is standin' by
We get inside and drive a while
F.m. station soundin' good
And gettin' better every mile.

Hotel lobby looks the same
With all the same old girls in town

Press reception takes the day
With all the same old things to say
Need your picture smile this way
And will you tell me what you play

(part 2 so you wanna be a rock'n'roll star)
Roger mcguinn/chris hillman (copyright 1966 tickson music co. (bmi)

So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star
Just listen now to what i say
Get yourself an electric guitar
And take some time and learn to play.

(part 3 sound check)
Nazareth

Your roadies call to say ok
The soundcheck can get underway
Soundcheckover, had some fun
A waste of time for everyone
Time has come to start the show
It's boogie time for everyone
Check guitars before you go
They're close enough for rock n roll
The lights are low,
The crowd is high,much higher than
They're meant to be
We take the stage and start to play
The lights come up for all to see

(part4 here we are again)
Nazareth

Here we are again, singin' the same old songs
Lookin for someone who will sing along
Here we are again playin' the same old scenes
Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams
Here we are again facing the same old sights
Lookin' for someone who will share our nights

Black hearted woman
Cant you see your poor man is down
I cant take this baby
All the lonely nights Ive been crying
Tired of all your separate ways
I cant take your evil lyin

Black hearted woman
Trouble and pain is all you crave
Black hearted woman
Trouble and pain is all you crave
Now that Im gone my troubles stopped
But my truth got in my way

Yesterday I was your man
But now you dont even know my name
Yesterday I was your man
But now I dont even know your name
Got to find a new way girl
Before I get back in your game

One of these days baby
Im gonna catch ya with your backdoor man
I said one of these days woman
You know Ill catch you with your backdoor man
Keep on down the road girl
Or Ill start all over again

Let me be your leader
Let me have control
The way I see it
Its got to be right for you

I could be your pilot
Through the stormy seas
The way you see it
Its just a case of trust in me

I could be your hero
Ill be your piece of mind
The way that I see it
Its got to be good for you

I wanna be your brother
If you need a friend
The way you see it
Its got to be right by me

Winners--losers
Takers--users
What do you see in your crystal ball for you?
Do you see an old wound fade into the blue?

I will be your lifeline
If your ship goes down
The way that I see it
Youve got to have faith in me

I wanna be your partner
Through the darkest nights
The way you see it
Its always just you and me

Midnight screamers
Daytime dreamers
What do you see in your crystal ball for you?
Do you see an old wound fade into the blue?

Tell me that you love me
Even though Im far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day

Well, Im not new to this
Held on before when I should have let go
The mistakes that you make
Keep comin round like a family ghost

I just wanna know
Am I moving in or heading for the coast

She said:
Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day

I dont know what to do
Im all dressed up no place to go
Sailing against the wind, cant figure it out
Which way it will blow

Show me now
Im lost at sea Im sinking below
Help me now
Tell me, tell me

Tell me that you love me
Even though youre far away
Tell me that you need me
Help me through another day.

Moonlight eyes I see you smile
It lightens up my night
Your smile takes all the fight out of me
Moonlight eyes I hear you cryin
It robs me of my pride
Theres nothing I can hide from moonlight eyes
I got no control
You just roll me like the sea
Oh moonlight eyes

Mooonlight eyes youre grown now
Ill soon be out of touch
Youll lose that innocence
That cost so much
Moonlight eyes youll find your pain
Youll say that Im all wrong
Therell always be a place where you belong
I got no control
You just roll me like the sea
Oh moonlight eyes
Tell your sweet lies only to me, only to me

Moonlight eyes you soothe me
Moonlight eyes youre easy on my soul
Moonlight eyes you are the reason
The meaning in the words
The words to every song Ive ever heard
Paralysed in sweet surprise
Your every wrong is right
One look into your night
Oh moonlight eyes
I got no control
You just roll me like the sea
Oh moonlight eyes
Tell your sweet lies only to me, only to me
Moonlight eyes.

May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you

Someone woke me up again last night
Talkin to me about my last time
Dont tell me I know its late
Please, please lay me down a line
Pick me up before I start to fall
Never let your dreams grow small

May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you

Talkin to my lover, she was out
It was independence day
Dont be nervous , you can hold me tight
Someone turned the light out on the stairs
Was it just the wind I heard
Just another helping hand

May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you
May the sun, the sun shine bright
May the sun shine bright on you

Take me back down the yellow brick road
Let me get my ticket to your heart
Strangers hidin on my land
Could it be its keepin me apart
Give me time dont you gimme no love
Let the sunshine in your heart

Welcome to the land of milk and honey
This is where your braves died to be free
Living in those days for love or money
Left your heart and soul at wounded knee
History and time are all you have now
You were free from sea to shining sea
But thats no matter to the folks who live here
You only ride your ponies on t.v.
Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
eEverything youll ever need
America, America
America, America
All your pride was wasted aint that funny
You never tried to bite the feeding hand
Welcome to this land of milk and honey
Where they keep you fenced on burning sand
War dance for the customers on fridays
Birthrights up for sale in tourist stores
Carved your land and faces on your mountains
Crazy horse can never tie the score
Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
Everything youll ever need
America, America
America, America
America, America
America, America

I prayed to God and jesus
But I guess they didnt hear
My sacrfice was useless
My pleas fell on deaf ears
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery

I looked to the lord in heaven
But he must have looked away
My crying eyes repentant
Please send her love to light my day
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery

I sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
Sold my soul to the devil
To the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul
I sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil

Turn on your receiver , Im gonna lat it on the line
cause Im a great believer, in hangin on to what is mine
So come over here and listen, I dont want you to be missin
What I say
And I aint gonna waste my time sayin it all again

Ive been hearin stories,fact the words all over town
Ive had my share of worries ever since youve been around
So come over hear and listen, I dont want you to be missin
What I say
And I aint gonna waste my time sayin it all again

Turn on your receiver, theres a message comin through
Keep your hands off my woman
Keep your hands to yourself
Keep your hands off my woman

I know you
You always rode so tall in the saddle
You are the answer
But I know that you are only causin trouble
Take all you want, leave me the rest behind
Youre a user
A winnin no new friends, just make one small step
Youre a user
You never came to anyones call
Spent all your life head on the wall
While youre up there, theres only one way to fall

All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again

You still got your chances
The one thing the whole world loves is a winner
You cant walk on water
With your heat the ice youre on is gettin thinner
You used to be so wise
But you are fooled by your own lies
And I see right through your disguise

All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again
All the kings horses and all the kings men
Will never put you together again.

His necktie is bright red
From lookin in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
Hes got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewin on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing

I know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight

Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border

The rendezvous was neutral
He dont want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said,no way Ive had mine
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five, answered in texas fashion

I know that your oil is black
But the dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That aint what I need tonight

Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border

Bright red went to his head
Tequila tension rising

This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a
Nervous disposition

Tanned man from the f.e.d.s
Cool mohair buying off the squeeze

Showdown at the border

In my life theres places Ive seen,
Places Ive been in my life.
In my life theres things I have done,
Times I have won in my life.

Ships I have known,
Winds that have blown.

In my time were people who cared,
People who shared in my time,
Welcomed the good accepted the bad,
Enjoyed what I had in my time.

People Ive known
Times on my own

And now Im growing old,
In memory I can hold
My picture book unfolds and i
Can feel myself grow cold.

In my life theres times to forget,
Things to regret in my life,
May have done wrong but tried to do right
I followed the light in my life,
But now the lights grow dim,
My days are closing in.

let me be your dog?
If you tell me what to do
I could do it quite well
Give detailed desires, Id be tryin? like hell
You could leave a little clue
I would follow it through
You got to say somethin? if theres anything you want me to do

Let me be the slave you can faithfully flog
Let me be your dog

I got no way aknowin? what show is in town
I could be your pacifier
I could be your favorite hound
Just gimme some proof, Ill deliver in style
On a hot tin roof, Ill be burnin? the tiles

Let me be the friend of a friend
Of a stepmothers brother
Of the slave you can faithfully flog
Let me be your dog

(solo)

Roll me right over, Ill crawl and Ill beg
Casanova rover, bitin? your leg
cos what goes around, comes around
Simple as that
Youd be doin? yourself a favor
Cuttin? the crap

Let me be your cross-breed, off the lead
Chasin? my tail
I could make you feel better
Like a cheque in the mail
Like a poll-position for the closin? down sale
Like a hog in a synagogue
Let me be your dog

Call me rover
Let me be your dog
Cmon baby, Ill be good
Like I know I could
Let me be your dog
Hey baby, please baby
Let me be your dog

Its a sign of the times, standing in line
Quietly waiting to go out of your mind
Theres nothing to say, no reason to stay
To fight for the right that they have taken away
Get what you get, not what you need
Time after time

* rags to riches, all fallen down
Rags to riches, tied up and bound
Theres no going under
When youre kicked to the ground
Rags to riches..rags to riches

Youre down on your knees, caught in the freeze
Crying inside but theres no easy release
Radical views--in yesterday news
Giving the reason with another excuse
Out on your own, cut to the bone
Time after time

Repeat * (2x)

We made a promise
But whats the difference
Call me friend, what you calling for
You couldnt take me as I am
But that was only party chat......i ran.

You asked me up here
You said it was gear
So liverpool--but--
We never understood the slang
We couldnt sing it like they sang
But that was carnaby excuses......i ran.

Like rent -a- driver
Insurance freeway
You can never tell
You can only drive because experience
Turns the corner now
See what happens when you leave it

Call me baby, how our love grows
Supremely simple
Like baby, baby, baby
Youre out of time

Shine, shine shine
Dont call me shine
But theres no rhythm to your rhyme......i ran.

Like rent-a-driver
Insurance freeway
You can never tell
You only drive because experience
Turns the corner now
See what happens when you
Break a promise
But whats the difference
Call me friend--what you callin for
You couldnt take me as I am
But that was only party chat.....i ran.

Welcome to the land of milk and honey
This is where your braves died to be free
Living in those days for love or money
Left your heart and soul at wounded knee

History and time are all you have now
You were free from sea to shining sea
But thats no matter to the folks who live here
You only ride your ponies on t.v.

Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
Eeverything youll ever need

America, america
America, america

All your pride was wasted aint that funny
You never tried to bite the feeding hand
Welcome to this land of milk and honey
Where they keep you fenced on burning sand

War dance for the customers on fridays
Birthrights up for sale in tourist stores
Carved your land and faces on your mountains
Crazy horse can never tie the score

Weve got everything youll ever need
Weve got everything youll ever need
Everything youll ever need

America, america
America, america
America, america
America, america

Sunshine, every single day
Helps to light my way
And darlin, right before my eyes
It dont come as no surprise
That its easy
Easy lovin you

And baby,til you came along
There was always something wrong
Around me
There was emptiness of course
But its alright
And its easy
Easy lovin you

And sunshine, having you around
Youre the light I never found
And darlin,every minute youre away
But its brighter
And its easy
Easy lovin you

Nazareth

Here I am, sitting on my porch
Thinkin my life has got to be beyond reproach
Have I forgot some friends close to me
Real ones that dont use me
And does my woman love me now
Like she loved me then
Here I am,my defenses are down
Will she remember me when Im not around
Will she still dream by me
Or will she find a new life
Will I ever get used, to being alone at night
Ill never know, but would it do me any good if I did
Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid
Lift the lid
Ill never know, but would it do me any good if I did
Life is a strange brew, maybe we should not lift the lid
Lift the lid

Im beggin forgiveness
But its gonna take a miracle
cos Ive been lyin
She dont wanna know and I think its impossible

Said open up woman
I know that youre sad and lonely
If I could hold you
We could make it again

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
Give me a chance

No more lyin
No more secrets
If I could make you
I would take you away and cover up your sadness
I keep sayin open up woman
But you dont wanna hear my promise
If I cant have you
Then I dont need a heart

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned
Open up woman
And give me a chance

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned

Livin in silence
Of my own makin
Though she wont show me
I know that her heart and soul are achin

Open up woman
I know that youre lost and let down
Im gonna keep tryin
stead of losin again

Listen all you men
Be good and be warned
Hell hath no fury
Like the wrath of a woman scorned

Open up woman
And give me a chance

Open up woman
Open up woman

I am just a child in the sun
Just another soul on the run
One more of your unwanted sons
Tell me where can I go

I had a line I tried for a while
Now Im walkin mile after mile
On my face no trace of a smile
Why does time pass so slow

Take me down to the river
Take me down to the sea
Where I can drown all my sorrows
Wash all my troubles away
Watch all my cares sail away

I have no ties my hands are unbound
There is no friend no love I have found
I have no ups Im fixed to the ground
Tell me river where you flow.

If you want to go out
You've got to take her out, cocaine
And if you want to get down
Down on the ground, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine

Well if you've had bad news
You want to kick your blues, cocaine
And if your day is done
But you just got to run on, cocaine
She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine

Feeling is gone but you just
Got to ride on, cocaine
But don't forget this fact
You just can't get it back, cocaine

She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine

She don't lie
She don't lie
She don't lie, cocaine

Hey sailor, what you think, hey buy a girl a drink
That was the first thing she said to me
I was on dry land but I was back at sea
She was so pretty but she was so mean
Cmon boys, Im sure youve been

Chorus:

Na, na, na, na, na salty salty
Na, na, na, na, na salty salty

Hey mama whats your name, hey whats it matter
You just tied up from your long voyage
Im sure gonna make you feel better
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin her duty now its understood

Chorus:

Hey lady, whats your game, hey can I play it
Everybody knows when the price is right
So just come out and say it
She was a beauty she was so good
Doin her duty now its understood.

When the sun crashes into your world
Look around and you try and find your girl
And youre daring, too sick of what you see
Out of town is the only place to be

When your life starts to run out of juice
Feel like dyin and you just want to get loose
Prayin moves dont make much sense to you
Seeing red before your feeling is blue

Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn

Going back, getting out of this town
Stretch it lean and mean, it turns you around
Take your dreams and stretch them out on the street
Take your turn to get back on your feet

Feel the wheels singin over the ridge
Feel the song like oakland take you
All the time you knew you had the itch
All the girls were glad to see you

Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn

Girl in ol v wont pray
Dont give you a hard time
All the girls from brooklyn say
Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn

Do you remember the day you left the block
Your mama said you would live to regret it
Coming home, coming stoned, come in hope, coming ready
Are you holding steady

Last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn....last exit brooklyn

Babys in the back seat, its so real
Gotta love the feel of the automobile
You get a certain style when youre so mobile
And responsibility you can avoid that trial

Walkin on the wild side
Lookin at the down side
Just a little crazy
Got a kind of strange pride

Standin at the back door, mercy me
Aint no place for the man to be
Its a private love, no publicity
And the woman that hes waitin for is bad news, hell see
Goin to a go-go
Slippin to a life low
Goin for the fake tan
Dreamin up a fashion plan
loverman

Hes a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
Hes a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

Drivin into downtown right on time
Smokin like a pistol aimed on line
Waitin for the tingles in his back
All those dangerous feelings getting ready to attack

Walkin on the barbed wire
Playin with desire
Goin for the night plan
Breakin any heart he can
loverman

Hes a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
Hes a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

Babys in the back seat
Gotta love the feel
Babys in the back seat
Gotta love the feel

Hes a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
Hes a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

Hes a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
Hes a dude with a master plan
So young but why should he care?

Hes a very superficial man
His suit is ten years older than his last flame
Hes the dude with the master plan

Hes a very superficial man
He likes the girls that go there
Hes a dude with a master plan

You want me to be your friend
Stick by you through thick or thin

Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me?

Youd like me to deal you in
Hold your hand right to the end

Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me?

You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This aint for me
This aint for me

You want someone you can trust
You want love , you dont want much

Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me

You want my name on the line
I dont feel that way inclined

Whats in it for me
Whats in it for me?

You want me to be your friend
You want me and you want him
This aint for me
This aint for me.

Goodbye romance cant take a chance
On loves painful games
Ive called too many times on a sweetheart tree

Lady lost now I count the cost
Nothing seems to change
Ive called too many times on the sweetheart tree

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin set me free

I need some time to change my mind
Before I try again
Ive been too many times to the sweetheart tree

Some go some then lay in tow
But love just dont come free
Ive called too many names on the sweetheart tree

Too many times
Ooh love you made a fool out of me
You won again
So lovin set me free

She was a wall street celebrity
With upward mobility
Walked and talked like a man
But that was o.k. by me
Two bit losers can never be choosers
No nit pickin kickin the can

Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury

Seventeen self abusals
Got me twenty blind, flat refusals
While shes dressin all in white
Im gettin set up for my life
Hard work never stopped the dance
But provin it just aint worth the chance

Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury

Everythings alrighty by me
With risin credibility
Im leavin a mark with my indelability
Shes earnin the money
Im servin the honey
Bring it on home to the hive---no jive

Livin in the lap
Livin in the lap of luxury

Do I feel alright?
Ill go antwhere you say you wanna to take me
Save me, run away-ay-ay, steal away-ay-ay
cause I feel alright
Ill do anything you say you wanna make me
Take me, far away-ay-ay, run away-ay-ay

Weve been up all night
Tryin to avoid a situation
Hold me, let me feel your way
cause I wanna stay
Let them all start talkin
We wont give ourselves away

Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness

Do you feel alright?
An can you see me when youre lookin in your mirror
Crazy, try to find a way, so your heart dont pay
Run away-ay-ay
Dont you give yourself away

Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our love leads to madness
Our lova leads to madness

Dont talk to the pilot
When hes flyin
Dont smile at the soldier
Hes on parade

Dont come creeping round, youll
Catch me cryin
No more talkin bout it
Its all been said

You drawn such a fine line baby
Learnin all the rules
Why dont ya read between them sometimes
You wont look such a fool

Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book
Why dont you read the book, why dont you read the book

Why show all your aces
To the gambler
If he calls your hand
Youre gonna lose
Dont trust first impressions
Of a stranger
Private informations
Just tellin tales

* you draw such a fine line baby
Learnin all the rules
Why dont ya read between them sometimes
You wont look such a fool

Sings a sad song for lonely women
Sings about women to lonely men
Sings a peace song to a soldier
Sings about loneliness to a friend

Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart

Sings a melody to haunt you
And some words to make you cry
If youre sad shell make you happy
When youre down shell take you high

Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart

Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart

Shes a song, song singer
Let her music touch your heart
Shes a song singer from her heart

Woke up this morning
My dog was dead
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head
I woke up this morning
And my cat had died
I'm gonna miss her
Sat down and cried
Came home this evening
My hog was gone
The people here don't like me
I think i'll soon move on
And now somethin's happened
That would make a saint frown
I turned my back and
My house burned down
Woke up this morning
My dog was dead
Someone disliked him
And shot him through the head
I woke up this morning
And my cat had died
Don't you know i'm gonna miss her
Sat down and cried

See the girl with the changing faces
See the boy with the aching smile
Empty loves burned out traces
See them walking down midnight mile

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you

Watch them dancing on a frozen ocean
See them skate where the ice is thin
Empty love thats a cold emotion
See the tears falling in the rain

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you

See the mist on the magic mountain
Watch the moon in a blood red sky
Empty love thats a dried up fountain
Never change and never ask him why

Juliet look what love has done to you
Juliet love has made a fool of you.

Dont wanna live she said
No more to give she said
I cant forgive she said

You love another, you love another

Cant live alone she said
Left off the phone she said
Cant face the storm she said

You love another, you love another

Dont make me cry she said
Just let me die she said
Kiss me goodbye she said

You love another, you love another

Dont take the blame she said
And I can go insane she said
Never the same she said

You love another, you love another

You love another, you love another
You love aother--my heart is tearing

You love another
You love another--no longer caring

You love another
You love another--my heart is tearing

You love another--no longer caring
You love another

So your plane was late
You missed that date
And your horse cant win
So you drink another bottle of gin

And your shares went down
They touched the ground
And your best laid plans
Have slipped right out of your hands

So you think youre fat
Well thats a fact
But your well ran dry
So you had to walk another mile

Think about them, think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Think about them
Think about those who never saw

So your car wont start
Needs a special part
But you made your choice
Now youre stuck with all your big boys toys

Now the words around
Youve gone aground
And youve lost your wind
Youll never see your ship come in

Think about them, think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year
Think about them
Think about those wholl never see another year

Mothers, fathers
Sisters, brothers
Old man, young man
Whale song, all gone
Where did we go wrong

Think about those wholl never see another
Those wholl never see another
Those wholl never see
Think about them, think about them.

Reach out and touch my fire
Ill make you know youre alive
Sweet love move in slow
Stretching out like a wire
Ill take you right to the top
Girl as low as you can drop
Youll thank the lord up above
Woman youll know youve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as theres stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Slow down now dont you run
For you theres just no way out
Made up my mind, not wastin time
Youre what Im thinkin about
I got myself on your case
You just cant keep up the pace
But youll thank the lord up above
Woman youll know youve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure as theres stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
Hey girl dont be a fool
Your bridges all have been crossed
Youve got it wrong, my love is strong
So dont go countin the cost
Im only thinkin of you
Give me just an hour or two
Then youll thank the lord up above
Woman youll know youve been loved
I was born to love
I was born to love
Sure, sure as theres stars up above
I was born to love
Born to love you
I was born to love you

What you gonna do if the fashion changes
Have you got a good song, can you go on
Will you be so strong you can rearrange it
Will you still have the thought to rely on
Will you cut your hair, do you dye it yellow
Are you still the right flavor to be tasted
Will you have your name in the sunday papers
Do you tell them you are straight or get wasted
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Did you ever think when you picked the front line
Are you gonna back up on your promises
Did you tell the folks you could make the changes
Are you gonna play it different than the last one
You got the address and you got the power
Are you gonna use it right or abuse it
Taking all the trust that you know youre given
Are you gonna play the game or just lose it
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you have the looks
Do you have the profile
Do you have your fingerprints or a record
If they come to you for some information
Looking for a secret would you sell one
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do
Do you think about it, do you think about it
Do you think about it, Ill bet you do

Dreamin? i saw a spirit in the sky
Im dreamin? dreaming away again
I felt a cold wind rushing in
And carry me up high
Far above the maddening crowd I fly
Its so exciting
Electrifying
And I can see theres no dreams

Dreamin? i saw a strange light in the sky
Im dreamin? dreaming away again

I felt this power touching me
Reelin? in my lies
Visions came,
My heart began to rise
Its so exciting
Electrifying
I feel the sun is in my dreams

Ive seen the wild side of city lights
Walked the streets where the lightning strikes
Ive heard the thunder and I know
But Ive never had such feelings before
In my dreams
Dreamin? away again
Dreamin? away again
Dreamin? i saw a spirit in the sky
Im dreaming
I saw a strange light in the sky
Im dreaming
I saw a shadow passing by
Im dreaming
Dreamin? away again
Im dreaming
Dreamin? away again
Dreamin? dreamin? away again
Dreamin.......

You're the violin
Nazareth

Some beat me like a drum
Some stroke me like a guitar
Some shake me like a tambourine
Some beat me into the wall
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin

Some blow me like a horn
Some slide me like a trombone
Some smoke me like a tuba dude
Some cut me like a saxophone
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
When you touch me like you touch me
Don't it feel like a summer breeze
When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya
It brings me to my knees
Think i'm makin' love to you
Sweet baby, ya
When you touch me like you touch me
Well, don't it feel like a summer breeze
When you lay down in my lonely soul, ya
It brings me to my knees
Think i'm makin' love to you
Sweet baby, ya
Some beat me like a drum
Some stroke me like a guitar
Sh-sh-sh-shake me like a tambourine
Some beat me into the wall
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin
In the song of my life
Baby, you're the violin

Look out, way too late
