Infidel can you hear
Would be strange delight
I need you to give your sympathy tonight
When you hear what I say
Deeds Ive done
Realise Ive never lost and never won
Ive got a feeling that its never right
There was a reason but its out of sight
Its going down somewhere tonight
Under the gun
Put death in my hand
Learn to fight
Who could care if its wrong or if its right
We got no choice
Under command
Were ordered to die or take this land
Stupid bastards and religious freaks
So safe in their castle keeps
They turn away as a mother weeps
When brave men fall
Under crimson skies
Theres a sadness reflected in a soldiers eyes
Tears will dry
For those I kill
Remember no more their names but
Someone will
The only way to be victorious
Screw the fools who think its glorious
Who gives a toss about the likes of us |
Flying to Salt Lake City
Seats 3A and B
I was down and needed a window
But in 3A sat Mitzi Dupree
She said, Hi I am Mitzi the queen of the ping pong
Where you going boy
I said, Nowhere
She said, Im moving on
I thought what is this
I cannot resist, here she is
And Ive always wanted a girl with a name
A name like Mitzi Dupree
She said, What do you do
I said, Im a singer in a band
She said, Yeah Im an entertainer
Reached out and took my hand
She was going to a mining town
Way up north to do her show
I said, It must be cold up there
She said, Depends on who you know
Oh, that look in her eye, I can tell you no lies
Im just a man, she made me feel
Like a king in my mind, I love you Mitzi Dupree
I know I love you Mitzi Dupree
I said, What is this queen of the ping pong business
She smiled, What do you think
It has no connection with China
I said, Have another drink
Well I knew right away
That Id seen her act before
In a room behind a kitchen in Bangkok
And three or four times more in Singapore
She may not be the first
But I know she isnt the worst
She was mine but I ran out of time
I miss you, I love you Mitzi Dupree
My darling Mitzi Dupree
My darling, my darling
My darling Mitzi Dupree
Mitzi Dupree
I love you Mitzi Dupree |
When night time comes
And Im ten thousand miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back and play
Get up keep in line
Its getting tighter all the time
You say, youre feeling fine
Its getting tighter all the time
Get a load off your mind
This place is right its hard to find
The mood is set alright
Its going to be a long, long night
You keep spinning around
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
Youll find it easy once you make
Get up, keep in line
Its getting tighter all the time
Getting tighter |
You think by leaving me
The sun will go away
You think that if you go
Therell be no other way
But your leaving now
Wont even spoil my day
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
You keep a-waiting for the tears
Im supposed to cry
The promise leaves
So Im supposed to die
Id forgotten who you were
Until you dropped on by
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
You think Im guilty throwing
Off the likes of you
That therell be no one else
But therell be quite a few
At least Ive got my head
But somehow Ill pull through
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no
Oh no no no |
Im living in this line
I know my place
Could think of no way
Of edging along in a losers race
Oh, the line was moving slowly
Day by night
Everybodys shuffling on to keep a place in the line
Place in the line
Nine long years Ive been in line
Getting nowhere
There is no reason for this line
Yeah, I dont care
Oh, everybodys standing
In the burning sun
Everybodys shuffling on, keeping a place in the line
Place in the line
Dont you think were gonna make it
Dont you think were gonna make it
Dont you think were gonna make it now
Weve got a place in line
Were gonna make it some time somehow, yeah
Dont you think were gonna make it
Dont you think were gonna make it
Dont you think were gonna make it now
Weve got a place in line
Were gonna make it some time somehow, alright |
Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when Im alone with you
Its causing me worry and trouble
Im going round in circles
Dont know what Im gonna do
You cant do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good
You cant do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
Cant get up, its getting me down
Tell me what youre trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If youd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show
You cant do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love |
My mama showed me how to rock in the cradle
But I learned how to roll along
My papa said, Son, got to get some fun
Because when youre old, it isnt too good on your own
Been so long, since you heard my song
Going to pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that Id be back some day
So Im coming home
To give you more than you bargained for
Coming home
No mistake, Im going to shiver and shake
Coming home
Going to rock and roll and give you my soul
Coming home
I got over the pain Im coming home again
Grooving to American Bandstand
B.B. on stage with Lucille
The thrill is gone but, it wont be for long
Because you know I like to play how I feel
Now that were all back together
Going to shiver and shake all night
Just got to say the music I play
Will sure enough make you feel alright
Though I learned how to rock in the cradle
And rolling came so easy to me
All the years I traveled the world
Made it so clear to see
Its been so long since you heard my song
Going to pick up my guitar and play
Felt so bad when I had to leave you
But I knew that Id be back some day
Coming home
Shiver and shaking anticpating
Coming home
The thrill is gone but it wont be for long
Coming home |
When you were a young girl
Did you have a rag doll
The only doll youve ever owned
Now Ill love you just the way
You loved that rag doll
Only now my love has grown
It gets stronger as the river flows
Deeper baby, heaven knows
Higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby
How I love you baby
When you were a young girl
Did you have a puppy
That always followed you around
Well Im going to be
As faithful as that puppy
No Ill never never let you down
Because it gets stronger
As the river flows
It gets deeper baby, heaven knows
It gets higher
So much higher, as it goes
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby
How I love you baby
I love you baby
Like a flower loves a spring
I love you baby
Like a robin likes to sing
I love you baby
Like a schoolboy likes his pie
And oh I love you baby
River deep, mountain high
Do I love you, my oh my
River Deep, Mountain High
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Do I love you, would I cry
Oh I love you baby
How I love you baby |
Listen to me Ive got a warning for you
Youve got to learn to take more care
Because if you swim in dirty water
Be careful how you dry your hair
In a room within a room
In a hole within a hole
Youve got to learn to share your secrets
Or youll lose your soul
Ive got the evidence I know youre broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law
Its so hard to hold back
When the fire is in your eyes
A silver dollar in my pocket
I dont like surprises
Ive got your souvenir
Is that the price Ive got to pay
It hasnt been that long
Since the last charade
Ive got the evidence I know youre broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law
I know youre guilty
But Im carrying the blame
I took out much more than I put in
And I felt the pain
In a dirty little room
With nowhere left to hide
You told the truth with your eyes
But you lied inside
Ive got the evidence I know youre broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law
Ive got the evidence I know youre broke
The unwritten law
Another town, another one-night stand
You know, you broke the law |
Lightning flashing on heavy iron gate
Scares me to death but I just can’t wait
Deep in a dungeon theres a rattling of chains
Mad Dr. Phibes, he’s going to eat my brain
It feels so good to be afraid
Vincent Price is back again
Heart pumping louder, the musics out of time
The vampire’s dying, he’s got to have wine
Red blood dripping, she doesn’t have a prayer
I know it’s not real but I just don’t care
I want seven screaming virgins on a sacrificial altar
Howling dogs, creaking doors, and zombies to die for |
Fly into the rising sun
Faces, smiling everyone
Yeah, she is a whole new tradition
I feel it in my heart
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
Talk about her like a queen
Dancing in an eastern dream
Yeah, she makes me feel like a river
Oh, that carries me away
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
But Im at home and I just dont belong
So far away from the garden we love
She is what moves in the soul of a dove
Soon I shall see just how black was my night
When were alone in her city of light
Rising from the neon gloom
Shining like a crazy moon
Yeah, she turns me on like a fire
I get high
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
My woman from Tokyo
She makes me see
My woman from Tokyo
Shes so good to me
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo
My woman from Tokyo |
Hmm, hmm, yeah, alright
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Hmm, keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, were going to the roadhouse
Were gonna have a real good time, oh yeah
Back at the roadhouse, some bungalows
Yeah, back at the roadhouse they got some bungalows
And thats for the people
Who like to go down slow
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, yeah, all night long
Hey, Stevie!
Whats up?
Oh yeah
Oh, ashen lady, hmm, ashen lady
You gotta give up your vows, said you gotta give up your vows
You got to save our city
You got to save our city
Right now, baby, right now
I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
I woke up this morning, I got myself a beer
The futures uncertain and the end is always near
Well, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
All night long
Yeah
Let it roll, roll, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
You gotta eat your bone
Eat your bean
You got a gunky tune
You got a honky-tonk
You gotta linger on
Linger on a ling-
You gotta ease back
You gotta ease back |
After all we said today
The strangest thought occurred
I feel I ought to tell you
But its clearly quite absurd
Wouldnt it be wonderful
If you could read my mind
Imagine all the stuff
That we could leave behind
How many words you waste
Before youre understood
Or simply sow some seeds
Youd do it if you could
Let me take a moment
Of your time
Inside you mind
I know what youre thinking
But I dont know what to say
The turmoil and the conflict
You dont have to feel that way
Look into my eyes
And feel my hand upon your heart
Holding us together
Not tearing us apart
How many words we waste
To justify a crime
Compare it to an act of love
That really takes no time
Why not take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind
How many words I wasted
You dont want to hear
Why dont sit in silence why money
Why dont take a moment
Of your time
Inside your mind
After all this same today a strange thought occurred
I feel I should tell you its clearly quite absurd |
How can you live in such a state?
Your mind is empty and youre full of hate
The things you say and the things you do
Mark you down as a helpless fool
I know, I know, I know, I know
Its gonna be all right through the night
Tomorrow comes and youre full of shame
Oh baby! You play the crying game
Aaaah...
Gonna be a long time baby
Before we get it sorted out all right
Ill drag you off to Utopia, baby
Well end up heading south
I need, I need, I need to know
If youre gonna do me right
If you do the things I ask of you
Ill tell the world tonight
He he he he hee... All right
You do me right, you do me wrong
Tell me, where do I belong?
You do me up, you do me down
I accept it all without a frown
You live like a woman in a fantasy
Ha ha I admire you from my tree
You drain my life and you drain my brain
I end up running back again
I love, I love, I love the funny ways
Oh you throw me in a daze
If you ever left me woman
Id destroy myself, sure as hell
Aaaah...
Were gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistle stops - oh yes we are
Well pull down the blinds while the carriage grinds
And the engine grunts and pops
Well theres a city, Jamie cryin bout the fussin goin on
So Ill burn her Times to ash
Well theres a lot to live but theres a lot to give
Ready! Steady! Smash!
Alright! Yeah! Uh mmh!
You just got to be out of your head
When you say youre good looking from bottom to top
Well Ill be waiting, to give her the rent
When you pass til you say you want a sock hop
Well theres a nightmare howling like theres something going on
And its going to aim the pain
Oh, just like me he fell in love
Ah now he feels the pain
Aaaah....
Gonna ride a slow train baby
And take all the whistle stops - oh yes we are
Well pull down the blinds while the carriage grinds
Engine grunts and pops
Well theres a city, Jamie cryin bout the fussin goin on
So Ill burn her Times to ash
And theres a lot to live and theres a lot to give
Ready! Steady! Smash! |
She came home last night, rockin rollin drunk
She talk no sense but she sound good so she thunk
So I reached over and said Hello
Is there some planet youd care to go?
And she said Venus on the rocks
So I said
She got a mean streak
Black mamba, no compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She drive me crazy, gets inside my brain
She spend my money down the drain, oh
So I roll over for my reward
How much can I afford?
And she says Just a little more
You know
She got a mean streak
Black mamba, no compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She got a mean streak
Black mamba, no compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
I cant take this no more
I tried so hard but I cant get through the door
Cause one smile from those eyes
And I stand there paralysed
And she says You better beg for more
I mean, get down sucker, you know what I like
Ooh, hang on
Black mamba dont compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
She got a mean streak
Black mamba dont compete
She got a mean streak
Temptation, bitter sweet
Mean streak, ooh
Mean streak
She got a mean streak, ah, ooh, ooh
She got a mean streak
Let me tell ya
Mean streak
Oh, oh, oh, mean streak
Mean streak
She got a mean streak |
He was playing pool and drinking beer
Nothing moren the occasional tear
But this mans life goes on he gets greased
All over from time to time
At the strip joint, where we met
He said Hi, my name is Ted
See that one over there
That ball of thunder
Every time she goes Vavoom
I wiggle in my chair
Can I buy you a beer?
What a guy
Ive had a few myself he said
But I never quit when Im ahead
Too many rules and regulations
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors
And another thing I wont discuss is religion
It always causes a fight
Vavoom
There she goes again
How does she do that said Ted
And he told me of those injustices
He had suffered in his life
His wife and kids and boss and dogs
And neighbours raising cain and causing strife
They were forever whining
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying
Vavoom
He fed them well
He keep them warm
Ted, Ted the mechanic!
Thing about Ted he didnt really care
Nothing much got in his hair
And the beauty of it was that he was right
He was big as a truck and fast as a door
he was always right
The banjo player took a hike
Whats that song I used to like
Vavoom
Big as a truck
He was fast as a door - Ted
What a guy!
Ted the man, our Ted
Ted the man, our Ted
Ted the man, our Ted |
I was a young man when I died
I was a flash, I was full of pride
I gave it all, I gave my soul, I was so strong
I felt the truth, I felt the pain in every song
How well you know me
Youve seen me cry
Im just a shadow
In a rock and roll sky
I was living in a rock and roll sky
I was a king, heavy on the style
Super trouper, yes I know you well, making me shine
I couldnt see what you did to me. I was so blind
I want to be like I was before
But this time Im going to know the score
I need a home I can leave behind knowing youre there
Super trouper, I can see you now, return your stare |
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that well hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lovers, were not to blame
Theres no mistake, theres no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around, you cant be found
To lose you, Id rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
So look around, we all will be found
In love
The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that well hear about
To pay the cost would never be the same
Eternal lover, youre not to blame
Theres no mistake, theres no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again this time
As I look around, you cant be found
To lose you, Id rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
This time around
This time around
To lose you, Id rather see
The endless time of space go passing by
Fly
By |
Theres no method in my madness, no craft, no guile
No expertise, no self assuring smile
No wizardry or witchcraft, no crass deceit
No dark conspiracies, I stand on my own two feet
Im coming through just like Jack Ruby
I ragged around the edges but I got control
Theres no way around it and I got control
I reach out for my program, still got control
Straight down to business, who needs control
Ive got panache just like Jack Ruby
I dont beg forgiveness, I dont beg at all
But I beg to differ cos I got the ball
There was no invitation, youre not my type
And whats gone, it aint worth having, kiss it all
Goodbye
Right on the money just like Jack Ruby |
Found some money in an old black jacket
Im going out tonight, gonna find me a woman or two
I dont know how long itll last
But I never regret the past
When I wake up tomorrow, Ill be looking around for you
I got no reason to be down at the station
I got no ticket, but Im gonna take a fucking ride
Dont care where I go
I never seem to know
I never had a penny, but I never wondered why
Oh no, I never wondered why
If Im cold I need some heat
If Im hungry then I eat
Im not responsible
I woke up this morning and I couldnt find my shoes
Its one long party and I havent seen the sun for days
Id take you out tonight
But Im just a little light
So lets go out anyway, youll be amazed
I take my woman to the palace dancing
I never could have made it but the doorman is a friend of mine
So I raise a glass to you
The foot is on the other shoe
You can pay the bill and while youre at it pick up mine
Oh, no no, I dont mind
If it rains I stay inside
If Im scared I run and hide
Im not responsible
Oh, no
If Im cold I need some heat
If Im hungry then I eat
Im not responsible
Im not responsible
I dont care
No, no, no
Im not responsible, ooh
Oh, oh
Im not responsible
Im not, Im not responsible
Im not, not, not, not, not, not
Not, not, not, not, not, not, not
Not, not, not responsible
No, not responsible
Oh, oh! |
Our days fall together in time
You said you can’t have it all
Beast and the broom, I have that kind of feeling
It’s got to be twenty foot tall
But the man
Is still alive
Oh, oh, oh
It’s good to be king
Standing together again
Everyone is starting to sway
I want to hit all the clubs to the sky
Oh, it’s a fabulous day
If I’m back
It’s walk and talk
Oh, oh, oh
It’s good to be king
It’s good to be king
By the way
The carriage is waiting
To take yo away
If you let all the fear right in
We’d never betray you
Believe what you see
It’s late as enticing, drift away
It’s good to be king |
Can you remember, remember my name
As I flow through your life
A thousand oceans I have flown
Cold spirits of ice
All my life
I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time
And distant faces shine
A thousand warriors I have known
Laughing as the spirits appear
All my life
I am shadow of your day
If you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky
Touching more than you see
The voice of ages in my mind
Aching in the dead of the night
Your tears are lost in falling rain
If you hear me talking on the wind
Youve got to understand
We must remain
Perfect strangers
I dont want to taste your poison no, no |
Vibrant flashes in my mind
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened faces
My broken heart has bled
With memories of a love thats dead
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me
Passing by the grounds of time
Memories that are only mine
Looking for love, a brand new love
Looking for love
Dreams that are hard to see
Finding a new love for me
Someday she must come along
I need love, love help me
I need love to come home
Somewhere there must be one
Hoping someday for good news
Waiting for that girl to choose
Only hoping, all I can do
Only hoping
One day she must come along
A girl as pretty as a song
A woman just there for me
I need love, love help me
Vibrant flashes in my mind
Remind me of a foregone time
Blackened faces, broken romance
Blackened face
My broken heart has bled
With memories of a love thats dead
Sometimes happy then sad
I need love, love help me |
Sweet child in time
Youll see the line
The line thats drawn between
Good and bad
See the blind man
Shooting at the world
Bullets flying
Ohh taking toll
If youve been bad

Fly
By |
Wake up in the morning
Get into bed
Closing my eyes
I rest my head
There is no arrangement
No time no place
Its gone in the wind
And left no trace
Who can say
Maybe or whatever
Its up to you
You know you can
Trust me
Ill make it up to you
You move with the action
You loosen my strings
Your fingers
Can smooth out my jangles
And all those things
Grease on the handle
And the tangles
In my hair
They always seem
To go together
I dont care |
Theres still a long way to go
And the nights are closing in
But if Id travelled any faster babe
Lord knows where I might have been
Right from those early days
I put my faith in the axle not the wheels
Like old Zenos toytus
With Achilles snapping at my heels
Dont worry
Theres no hurry
Here we are
With all the time in the world
I could have been a high-flying dealer
But I have no desire for speed
I could have been a wild receiver
But Ive got everything I need
And so I watch the world
Go racing by tearing up the street
I lay back in the long grass
Take it easy and rest my feet
No-one ever held me back
You know that no-one ever put me in chains
No-one ever saw me racing ahead
No-one had to tug on my reins
As everybody knows
I may be slow but I never quit
Sometimes on a good day I sit and think
Sometimes I just sit |
You can walk through fire
Make the north wind blow
Squeeze and tease me, honey
When you shake your body
You move my soul, my, yeah
Let me be your lover
Wont you let me be your child?
Take me through your universe
You know that when you smile
You drive me wild, oh, my baby
Love child
Driving me wild
Love child
Always teasing me
You can ride your pony
Daydream in fairy tales
All I know is I need more
When I see you dance the seven veils
Oh, baby, let me shake it
You got me shaking, babe
You got me shaking, baby |
Time, it does not matter
But time is all we have
To think about, think about
Road, it has no end
Crossroads every turn
So it goes, so it goes
Once you sang
A simple song
Got confused
Went on too long
Why does the promise fade
You lie on the bed you make
Stranger than fiction
Further from the truth
Beyond imagination
Those seeds have taken root
Wild as a dream could be
From black and white
To blue and red
Golden circles
Flow above your head
Once you sang
A simple song
It all went wrong
Time, it does not matter
Time is all we have |
Try to see it my way
Do I have to keep on talking till I cant go on
While you see it your way
Run the risk of knowing
That our love will soon be gone
We can work it out
We can work it out
Think of what youre saying
You can get it wrong
And still you think that its alright
Think of what Im saying
We can work it out
And get it straight or say goodnight
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and theres no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that its a crime
So I will ask you once again
Ill ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell if I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
Theres a chance that we might
Fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
Life is very short and theres no time
For fussing and fighting my friend
I have always thought that its a crime
So I will ask you once again
Ill ask you once again
Try to see it my way
Only time will tell
If I am right or I am wrong
While I see it your way
Theres a chance that we might
Fall apart before too long
We can work it out
We can work it out
At least we can try
We can try to work it out someday |
Riding on the moonpath
In the silver of the night
The fragrance on the air
Was of another time
I cried in all my innocence
You were dressed in white
And even if Id had the strength
I couldnt move to save my life
The fear and the thrill
Of the beast at the window
The shivers and the chills
On the hottest of nights
He walked right through
My open door
As I began to run, he threw
Some gold upon the floor, and said
Theres plenty more
Where that came from
Im tired of the bombs
Im tired of the bullets
Im tired of the crazies on TV
Im the aviator
A dreams a dream whatever it seems
I flew along the lighted street
I flew above the town
I flew in ever rising cicrcles
Ever further from the ground
As I begin to lose my breath
Printed faxes turn a spin
A distant corner of the room
Will open up and let me in
Im tired of the news
Im tired of the weather
Im tired of the same thing every day
Im the aviator
A dreams a dream whatever they say |
I keep singing the same old song
Like I did before
When you left me baby, you left me in darkness
Id never known before
I was restless, a fool for your time
Waiting around for you to call me, baby
But now Ive found me an angel of mercy
I dont feel bad at all
Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
I need love, I need love
Ive got nothing to do, baby, nothing to say
Just live your life the way you know
When you moved on you took all the sweetness
Was I a fool to let you go?
Now with a woman I forget for the moment
All the times we knew before
Though Im still singing the same old love song
I dont want you knocking on my door
Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me and keep me satisfied
I need
I want someone to hold me, keep me satisfied
Your body was honey, I tasted a lot
But let me tell you babe, I need more than you got
I want someone to hold me
I need love, hey baby, I need love babe
I need love, you could give it to me
I need your love, I need your love
Love, your love, oh baby, baby
Baby, baby, want to know
Keep on loving me, keep on love
Keep on loving me baby, babe
Keep on loving me
Keep on loving me, babe |
Playing pool and drinking beer
Nothin moren the
Occasional tear
But this mans life goes on
And he gets
Greased all over
From time to time
At the strip joint, where we met
He said Hi, my name is Ted
See that one over there
That ball of thunder
Every time she goes Vavoom
I wiggle in my chair
Can I buy you a beer?
What a guy
Ive had a few myself he said
But I never quit when Im ahead
Too many rules and regulations
Stupid laws designed by fools behind closed doors
And another thing I wont discuss is religion
It always causes a fight
Vavoom
There she goes again
How does she do that said Ted
And he told me
Of those unjustices
He had suffered in his life
His wife and kids
And boss and dogs
And neighbours
Raising cain and causing strife
They were forever whining
Bleating howling yapping screeching moaning crying
Vavoom
He fed them well
He keep them warm
Thing about Ted
He didnt really care
Nothing much got in his hair
And the beauty of it was
That he was right
He was big as a truck
And fast as a door
He was always right
The banjo player took a hike
Whats that song
I used to like
Vavoom
He was big as a truck
Fast as a door - Ted
Ted the man our Ted |
I dont mind just what you say
I never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway
I dont care what you do
Just so long as it aint me and you
Sly, sly, like a demons eye
Everythings good, I said, Everythings fine
You dont know, dont know its the end of your time
How does it feel to be turned away?
Ive known it, baby, almost every day
Sly, sly, like a demons eye
I dont need you anymore
I dont want you, baby, hanging round my door
You slip and slide round my brain
You think youre so clever, yeah, but you know youre insane
Sly, sly, like a demons eye
I d-d-dont mind just what you say
I never heard you, baby, I never heard you anyway, no I didnt
Everythings good, everythings fine
You dont know its the end of your time
Sly, sly, like the demons eye, like the demons eye
Oh oh yeah, youre so sly baby yeah ooh yeah
You make me feel upside down, oh |
Dont look too long in my face, it could be a big mistake
Im hanging on a thread so fine, I need a little space
I shouldnt say
But I know, know I must
Ive had enough of pain, Im pissed off standing in the rain
It makes me feel like a mad dog
Ive got nothing to lose
A mad dog
Youve got nothing I can use
A mad dog
Howling at the moon
A mad dog
I need no friends, Im on the edge of a broken dream
Laughing at the pain, but it makes me want to scream
And I should have known, shed be no no good
She tore my heart in two, but I dont need to talk to you
You make me feel like a mad dog
Ive got nothing to lose
A mad dog
Youve got nothing I can use
A mad dog
Howling the moon
Mad dog
She said, A hard man is good to find
And then she raised her doubts
All that I could give she took, and then she threw me out
Well, I dont care, I dont care anymore
Im going to lose my grip, Im going to let it rip
Ow, wow, yeaow yeah!
A mad dog
Ive got nothing to lose
A mad dog
Youve got nothing I can use
A mad dog
Howling at the moon
A mad dog
A mad dog
A mad dog
A mad dog
A mad dog
Mad, mad, mad, mad, ow! |
I was young and healthy
Extremely wealthy
I swung in the trees
And did as I pleased
I thought I was rich
Oh yeah
Such sweet seduction
I could feel the suction
Greasing my palm
And doing no harm
Just making some deals
What a bitch
Money talks to me
Whispers in my ear
Gives me everything I want
Everything I want
I had rising stock
So I got more pockets
I knew somewhere to stick it
Where no-one would nick it
I kind of went private
And then, aha
Such sweet seclusion
No more intrusion
Too much food on my plate
But theres guards at the gate
Such joy
I could almost die of it
Money goes to money
Yes it always returns
Finds its way back to the big house
Where it lives all alone
Wraithlike silent partners
Operators of the system
Give words of quiet assurance
To an otherwise healthy victim
Its all coming back to me
I would swing in the trees
And Id swim in the ocean
I used to show some emotion
I was not to blame
I feel no shame
The structure was shaking
Was there for the taking
I had the resources
But then, oh no
Someone outbid me
I cant take it with me?
Then I will devour it
I cant go without it
Its simply a question of
Market forces |
Light turn the candle
I spark one for me
Let it float on the water
Right down to the sea
You draw back your curtain
A wavy goodbye
Lift up your arms
And look up to the sky
To the sky!
Stop me a candle
And keep it in the light
Thought it pairing window
And I come back tonight
You touch me in the darkness
I send you a sign
A give me your loving
And I’ll give you mine
I’m maybe leaving
But I won’t be gone
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond
You’re fading like I tell you
It’s all up to you
I’ll be there if you’ll need me
If I get it through
Reached on your settlers
And tomorrow you’ll find
Your souls had been touched
Are forever entwined
Yes I’m maybe leaving
But not for too long
I’ll be there when you want me
Above and beyond |
Have you ever thought of the feeling
I get when Im alone with you
Its causing me worry and trouble
Im going around in circles
Dont know what Im going to do
You cant do it right
With the one you love
Nothing you can do
Without the one you love
You were always playing my records
When I was after making some love
But I need more than the music
To keep myself together
Although it makes me feel so good
Sometimes in the morning
I wake up without you
Cant get up, its getting me down
Tell me what youre trying to do
Later in the evening
You come home feeling low
If youd stop your cruising
Maybe we could make a show |
CONCERTO FOR GROUP AND ORCHESTRA
Album recorded by DEEP PURPLE
With the ROYAL PHILHARMONIC ORCHESTRA
At the Royal Albert Hall, September 24th, 1969
Album released December 1969
Unlike every other Deep Purple album released, this album has
Throughout the whole concerto appear in the second movement, and
Were probably ad-libbed. They are:
How can I see the light has gone out
How can I hear when you speak so silently
More than enough is never too much
Hold out a hand - Im so out of touch
You want to feel as your heart would have you do
Looks on my head cannot get the message through
So that my hand can cut through
Peace in my heart can suffer too
What shall I do when they stand smiling at me
Look at them all and be so cool, oh so cool
How shall I know when to start singing my song
What shall I do when they all go by
What shall I do...
THE DEEP PURPLE APPRECIATION SOCEITY
PO BOX 254, SHEFFIELD, S6 1DF, UK |
Got your finger on the trigger
Your cold eyes taking aim
You took a shot at my heart
Let the bullets fly
Tell me has one of them got my name
What about the heartache
What about the emptiness inside
It doesnt just fade away
Turning the knife
How much can I bleed
The cut runs deep
I cant find no salvation
Cant find no healing touch
Reaching out for mercy
A stranger in your eyes
I want you too much |
Thinking out of line just to make the sun shine anyway
I can be like you
Fighting with the truth, trying to hide a fool in a fantasy
Oh, Im dreaming
Lay me down, lay me down, take me now
Our lady
Our lady
Our lady of the skies
Hiding in the sun like a loaded gun, reality
Aiming high at my dream
But I can get along, she makes me strong, anyway
Oh, Im dreaming
And there is no other way
Our lady
Our lady
Our lady of the skies
Flying in the sky with a bunch of high fidelity
I can hear your song
Offer me a ring just to show me your sincerity
Oh, Im dreaming
Let me go, let me go
Our lady
Our lady
Our lady of the skies |
She walked into the room her hand upon her hip
Said, Look out boy Ill make your backbone slip
Straight at me, the devil in her eye
I knew what I was getting but took it by surprise
No fooling
She knocked the stuffing out of me
Shes some woman
Hard loving woman
She chewed me up and spat me out
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Never wear nothing but a smile upon her face
Licking her lips but I had the taste
Her temperature was rising I was coming to the boil
Her fires were burning she was pouring oil
I do not jest she really took me to the cleaners
Some woman
I felt just great when she pulled her 38s
Shes some woman
Hard loving woman
She chewed me up and spat me out
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
It started with a smile, it turned into a laugh
It ended with a scream I said, Enoughs enough
Never heard a word she wouldnt let go
A mans a man and every woman ought to know
And there I was and she was dancing
Some woman
Hard loving woman, here we go again
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard, hard, hard loving woman
Some woman
Hard loving woman, here we go again
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard loving woman
Some woman
Shes a hard, hard, hard loving woman
She, she, she, she
She, she, she, she
She was a, she was a
She was a hard loving woman |
If youre in the right city at the right time
Whats the last thing going through your mind
Not talking about your
Ask no questions, you know its a lie
You could have been the victim of a corporate crime
All the signs of a shark attack
Youve got rivers of blood
On the streets, dont look back
Nothing personal, just another snack
And Harley said youre better off sticking to your guns
Any fule kno that
Oh Moronica Queen of the Biz
And her friend Flash harry thinks he knows what it is
Tin Pan Alley Fat Head Larry dont know shit
Just trying to keep her happy
Theres no laughing in heaven
Not the one, not the seven
And youll never get to heaven in her row boat
Pea brain pisser, dog breath kisser
And Harley said youre better off sticking to your guns
Any fule kno that
Wont it be nice
When everything falls into place
Salad days go a-tickling by, have a high time
Burn money in the meantime, they bleed you dry
Those suckers are smaller than life
Oh Moronica Queen of the Biz
And her friend Flash harry thinks he knows what it is
Tin Pan Alley Fat Head Larry dont know shit
Im better off sticking to my guns
Any fule kno that
Danny went down to the river one day
Didnt come back, thats the last, they say
We ever saw of him, thats no lie
Spitting in your eye, have no fear
You dont want the truth
Stick your finger in your ear
Any fule kno that |
Yea, read all about it tell me
Have you heard the news
Captain Bob, he dont pay no dues, ah
You know hes looking in my window
Hes stepping on my toes
Dont want the truth and it goes to show
I got a joker up my sleeve
I know what to believe
It isnt right just because
Its in black and white
Find yourself a hero
Treat him like a friend
You build him up and tear him down again
Tear him down again
It dont hold a candle, hold it to the light
Check it out, is it wrong or right
Well, is this the news of the world
Its just a pretty girl
Shes all the news thats fit to print
In black and white
Inside information, taken down note by note
A silent footstep, thats all she wrote
Shit, thats all she wrote
You got no need to worry
The babys gone to bed
Dreaming dirty dreams in black and white and red
Aah aah
Well, now I got nothing to fear
Is this the scoop of the year
Headlines on my bathroom wall
In black and white, hey
I got a joker up my sleeve
Its so hard to believe
It isnt right just because
Its in black and white
Black and white |
Strange ways
Strange
I was born into confusion
My mother said to me
When you become a man youll understand
But its still a mystery
And if you want to get ahead
Get some decent clothes
The only way to make it
Dress the part that gets right up my nose
And I think to myself in this river of doubt
This is something I can do without
But, strange ways is what I got
Strange ways
The Indians are coming
I saw it on TV
Theyre twenty thousand strong
But they always get depleted by the cavalry
Salvation is at hand
Its guaranteed
Just send a donation straight to God
One eight hundred, toll free
And I think to myself in this academy of fear
Where am I going, what am I doing here?
But strange ways is all I got
Strange ways
Aaa, aaa
Have you seen the headlines?
Princess engaged
Three million out of work
But thats on the second page
The alien has landed
Finger in his ear
Cant hear a word I am saying
But that isnt such a bad idea
And I think to myself in this cradle of lust
Ashes to ashes and dust to dust
But strange ways is all you get
Strange ways |
I hear the beating of your wings
And youre playing on my strings
In mysterious ways
You draw me in
To a love
Beyond all understanding
Beyond my reach
So far away
But it seems
Like only yesterday
Im Haunted
Haunted
Is that what you wanted
All thats left
Is the ghost of your smile
It stays awhile
Then fades away
I hear your footsteps on the ground
Tempting me to turn around
Its just the echo
Of a disenchanted lover
Shuffling aimlessly
Homeward bound
To empty rooms
And picture frames
And Friends
Who cant recall our names |
Cast your eyes into the crystal
Deep inside the mystery
Is that a vision of a lonely man
I fear it looks a lot like me
Is that a man without a woman
Whose empty life is but a shell
Empty hearts will echo
Forever in the wishing well
Fortuneteller
Youve got to help me find an end to the nightmare
Because I cant stand this pain and the curse of time
Somewhere in your eyes Ill find the answer
Give me the truth Ive been looking for
Be my guiding light, Ill take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
Some days come with a vengeance
Some days I feel so bad
The mirror holds no secrets
I lost the best thing that I had
Fortuneteller
Can you help me to see, is there an end to the sorrow
Or was this slow ride to nowhere always meant to be
Somewhere in your eyes Ill find the answer
Give me the truth Ive been looking for
Be my guiding light, Ill take my chances
Turn the card, seal my fate, close the door
She always taking more than shed need
But we were both to blame somehow
In the heat of the moment I told her to leave
I guess I lost more than I found
But I remember |
You know Im not
Your lover now
It might as well be said
And then you say
Youre leaving
Or maybe Im just
Hanging on a thread
When I gave you everything
It didnt seem that much
You gave me your opinion
With the usual
Heavy handed touch
What can I do
About the rain that falls on you
Im not your lover now
My head is spinning endlessly
My sense wont react
Then Im falling through a black hole
Part of me is never coming back
How you can lose a thing
You never really had
And you always hurt the one you love
And you just love to hurt me bad
You really must be going now
By god, is that the time?
Let me put you out
Of my misery
They call it being cruel
To be kind
I only insult my friends
My friend
The rest can go to hell
You can read it
Anyway you want
Oh well, youre not so bad yourself |
Operator, Im looking for a girl
Youve got to help me get through
I dont know much about her
So Im relying on you
She got rhythm but no sense of timing
She likes living but shes got no address
Operator, youve got to get me out of this mess
Let me tell you about her
She hasnt got a face
She hasnt got a name
She hasnt got a leg to stand upon
Shes out of touch but not out of mind
And Ive got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
Shes a hitch-hiker, never gets a ride
But you can bet shes on time
Shes always around but so hard to find
She causes trouble, she never takes offense
Dirty mind a heart of gold
Operator dont, dont you put me on hold, no
She hasnt got a face
She hasnt got a name
She hasnt got a leg to stand upon
Shes out of touch but not out of mind
And Ive got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
She hasnt got a face
She hasnt got a name
She hasnt got a leg to stand upon
Shes out of touch but not out of mind
And Ive got to see again that gypsy child
Operator, this is the call of the wild
She hasnt got a face
She hasnt got a name
She hasnt got a leg to stand upon
Shes out of touch, not out of mind
She hasnt got a face
She hasnt got a name |

Eight cylinders all mine

Remind me to tell you
Bout the old silver miner
Name of hard rock Pete
Had his house built on a slope
They say one of his legs
Lived in Calico
Thers a rumour going round
That the other lived in hope
So I walked in the room
And I stopped
I turned around
And looked over my shoulder
And a voice close beside me said
Youd better watch your head
The partys over
Somebody stole my guitar
They took it from
The back seat of my car
It wasnt long before
The waitress came over and said
Can I freshen up your drink
And have you heard of these boys
And if you feel included
To buy some cowboy boots
Well its not that bad
We can talk above the noise
So I sucked on my beer
Shut my eyes
And tried to listen to the words
I know I missed the meaning
But the message
Was something Id already heard
Johnny Ringos voice
Is getting deeper
And now hes going to put
Another lock on the door
The night is getting later
My head is getting lighter
The mood is getting darker
Tequilas being poured
So I smile
At the old gunslinger
In his frame on the wall
As he pushed back his hat
And its all coming back
Id cut a long story short
But its much too late for that
I was sleeping in Memphis
In my hotel room
And somebody stole my guitar |
If you dont like what you see
If you can do better than me
Walk on
If the road before you winds
Obscuring al the signs
Walk on
You mean more to me
Than just a pretty face
I wont hold you down
You need a little space
You know I dont like to fight
No matter whos wrong or right
Walk on |
She was a juke-box dancer
A blue eyed gypsy queen
She always had an answer
For what shed done
And where shed been
A feathercane Lady Midnight
For all around to see
She spoke with words of wisdom
And this is what she said to me
Lady luck
Come on give me what I want
Pull me up
Lady luck
If I see you again
I will call you my friend
I have always been a sinner
But then the lady came along
She stole my heart and turned me round
Until I didnt know right from wrong
She whispered words of kindness
Id never ever heard before
Golden words and silver tongue
Till I really couldnt take no more
Come on shake me |
If you fool around
With the dealer
Remember soon
Youll have to pay, yeah
Hell creep behind you
Like a hunter
Just to steal your soul away
I dont want no one
Messing with my woman
But just the same
I dont wanna see nobody
Fooling with you
If youre snow blind
Madonna can hold you
But if you dont understand
There is nothing she can do for you
Running from the dealer
Trying to save your soul
I can feel the fire
Coming from inside you
I know what its like
Because Ive been burned before
Aint no mercy in the hunger
Youre a fool to yourself
Because your dealer keeps you begging for more
In the beginning all you wanted
Was the calm before the storm
If the bluebird plays the eagle, yeah
He finds his song will turn to stone, dealer |
How can I see when the light is gone out?
How can I hear when you speak so silently?
More than enough is never too much
Hold out a hand Im so out of touch
Do unto me as your heart would have you do
Words in my head can I get the message through?
Sword in my hand can cut through the wood
Peace in my heart can soften the mood
What shall I do when they stand smiling at me?
Look at the floor and be oh, so cool
Oh, so cool?
How shall I know when to start singing my song?
What shall I do if they all go wrong?
What shall I do?
What shall I do when they stand laughing at me?
Walk through the door and be oh so cool?
How shall I know when to stop singing my song?
What shall I do when it all goes wrong? |
Roll me over slowly, Ive been drinkin all night
Help me make a move, I cant stand the light
Wake me, shake me, dont slam the door
I aint been so bad, I just cant recall
Spent the night chasin up a listed old flame
Lyin on the floor, I cant remember her name
I cant stay here, theres something wrong here
Whats goin on here?
Went downtown, had a long way to go
How I got there, well, I dont know
Found myself sittin in a West Side bar
Tried to leave, but I could not go far
High class woman tryin to give me a line
Should have left early when I felt so fine
I cant stay here, theres something wrong here
Whats goin on here?
When they closed up the bar, you know, they left me for dead
I cant remember a thing I said
Must have called the police to take me away
They said, Forty days, now Ive got to pay
Spent the night chasin up a listed old flame
Lyin on the floor, I cant remember my name
I cant get together while theyre messin with me
Keep on lookin round, tell me where can I be
I cant stay here, theres something wrong here
Whats goin on here? |
You stare into the room, nothing there but space
No sign of any message gone without a trace
But I dont want your pity, if thats what you think
Ill take my comfort from this hole Im sinking in
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
Thats alright, I dont mind but dont try to be funny
Dont make me good
Dont make me mad
Dont make me fly
Dont make me happy
Its nice here in this room, you would like it, yes you
Would
Its got a bed, two chairs and a table, Id leave here if I
Could
Theres a man standing up whos down on his knees
Outside the cold wind sends a shiver through the trees
On the line, left behind, under pressure
Its so bad, leave me be, I dont want to get better
I dont care what you think but think about this
It could have been somebody else, beware of what
You wish
Now the door is closed, locked and sealed
And now you think you know how rejection feels
Waste my time, drink my wine, take my money
Thats alright, I dont mind but dont try to be funny |
I was born a rambling man
And I never got the chance
To settle down and get a hold on love
Taking air and moving around
Is all I can see that Im doing
And it is bringing me down
Driving on a highway going nowhere
Desolation destination
Guess Ill find it somewhere
I know if theres trouble
I am not taking the blame
Thats why I keep moving
So nobody knows my name
Born a loser
Im beyond the law
Women behind me
Never can find me
They can never get together
What Ive been here for
Because Im a drifter
Rolling on
Im not wasting my time no more |
Child on a painted horse
Streams that will run their course
Gone to a far away shore
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Days of another kind
Frost gets a bruising vine
Why did the carpenter die?
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Sweet as a rose so fine
Peaceful as a final time
How old could the lion man cry?
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping
Thoughts of a winter moon
Warm in a distant room
Why did I fall asleep so soon?
Ooh, ooh, ah
My painted horse is weeping |
Well there must have been a reason
For the smile that you had upon your face last night
Are you the cat that got the cream?
Did you lick your lips? Did you roll your eyes?
Can you imagine how it feels?
Its so hard to reveal, oh
I cant get through, Im falling
Im getting out, Im losing ground
The Spanish Archers going to bring you down
Is there someone, somewhere
Waiting in the wings to take my place?
Lets not drag it out, like a Cagney death scene
Oh, in this season of change, its not hard to explain
Like the leaves on the trees, Im falling
And as you turn, dont look away
The Spanish Archers going to make you pay
Do you remember when the sky was blue?
We used to talk for miles
And now we drive along, in this thundering silence
Its such an obvious lie, with that easy smile of yours
Im letting go, and Im falling
Well is there something I can say
As we stumble to the edge, have we gone too far?
Why dont we call it a day
Before we call it a nightmare, darlin?
If we made a mistake, then all that it takes to be free
Is the wave of a hand and youre falling |
I hear theyre trying to make us all the same
Its mind control by any other name
Whos gonna pay the price
For this foolish paradise
Oh?omma dont take that train
I hear it said were headed too far south
Chinese whispers go by word of mouth
Rules for every size and shape
The nag has gone, shut the gate
Once youre in youre never getting out
Im so misunderstood
There goes my manlihood
Shes in my face again
With that picture of innocence
No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope
I hear theyre gonna try out something new
I can feel it sticking to my shoe
So this is what tomorrow holds
Hopes and dreams are bought and sold
But still the world is misty green and blue
I, so misunderstood
There goes my mannish boyhood
Shes in my face again
With that picture of innocence
No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
Thats the end of the road
Thats the end of the road
We got no hope
No drinks, No smokes
No dicking around
No dirty jokes
Straight lace, straight face
The old straight jacket
We got no hope
No deals, No strokes
No forbidden fruit
No holy smoke
What next, no sex
Thats the end of the road
We got no hope |
I sit here alone
I sit here alone
I look at the walls
Look at the walls
Look at the walls
I look at the walls
You shouldnt be out on your own
Oh no not with a condition like that
Oh no sir constant care
A condition like that, a condition so rare
A penny for the guy, a penny for your thoughts
One a penny, two a penny in your pocket
Ding dong bell, who can tell
Wild Man Fisher got nothing on me
I sit by the water
I sit by the water
Watch it go by
Clouds going by
Im watching the sky
I left my luggage at the station
Didnt know how to say goodbye
I walked away from all the fury
And the madness and the fury
And the madness and the fury
And the madness
I smile to myself
I smile to myself
Youre on the blind side, Im on the other side
Now Im on the outside looking for another side
Upside down side, Im still lucid
I may be crazy but Im not stupid
Try to get out, the parking lots full
No matter, no matter, whats a man going to do
One two buckle my shoe
Zip my lip |
If youre leaving, close the door
Im not expecting people anymore
Hear me grieving, Im lying on the floor
Whether Im drunk or dead, I really aint too sure
Im a blind man, Im a blind man and my world is pale
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know there aint no sadder tale
Had a friend once in a room
Had a good time but it ended much too soon
In a cold month in that room
We found a reason for the things we had to do
Im a blind man, Im a blind man, now my room is cold
When a blind man cries, Lord, you know he feels it from his soul |
Take pity on two-tone Eddie
His hair was never right
He used to be cool with a glint in his eye
But he lost it overnight
Spinning word is changeing, things are rearranging
But Eddie says to me
Nothing wrong with the way it was
Thats the way its meant to be
Up the revolution
Were all prepared to die
Up the revolution
That was the battle cry
Theres going to be Hell, Hell to pay
Theres going to be Hell, Hell to pay
Eddie was a die-hard rebel in the good old days
Of way back when
A cigarette was cool and all the kids in school
Could read and count to ten
Everyone said he had a future bright
Of that there was no doubt
He never could make us understand
What the rebellion was all about
Up the revolution
Were all prepared to die
Up the revolution
That was the battle cry
Theres going to be Hell, yeah, Hell to pay
Theres going to be Hell, Hell to pay
Two-tone Eddie drew up battle plans
For making love not war
Everybody laughed at the fighting in the streets
And behind a guarded door
It came to nothing when it all went down
And the band began to play
Another plan, put your head in the sand
Live to fight another day
Up the revolution
Were all prepared to die
Up the revolution
That was the battle cry
Theres going to be Hell, Hell to pay, yeah
Theres going to be Hell, Hell to pay, oh
Theres going to be Hell, Hell to pay
Theres going to be Hell, he he, he he he |
Sometimes I sit and wonder
Sometimes I just sit
I hope you all know what youre doing
Anyway who is driving this thing
Did you know the warriors of the flat earth
Have become the tyrants of the globe
Its round about that time again
She cried its all for one my friend
All my dreams are forgotten
When you leave me on the shelf
I can think of nothing better
Than to sit here by myself
Least remembered soon forgotten
Didnt matter anyway
How can I ever miss you
If you never go away
Im amazed by the way how are you
Im amazed how could you
It wasnt that good to start with
Anyway nothings quite that simple |
I was driving through the night
Into an endless tunnel of fog
When it dawned on me something was wrong
I was in a trance, hypnotized
Bored beyond belief, I was listening to the same old song
I know every lick, every word every nuance
Im on first name terms with the crew
But Id better get used to this poop du jour
Sure as hell they wont play anything new
Oh yes, I love you really
Classic Rock Radio
Oh, my dear its time for bed
Time for you to go
Everyone is asleep
The pirates took to the water stole the charts
But sadly that didnt go down well with those upstairs
Who require loyalty, the establishment considered
That the uncontrolled appreciation of music
Was a danger to royalty, the mighty empire roared
As Cash n Everitt on the high seas
Looked like theyd get blown out of the water
They did of course eventually come ashore
As meek as mice or to be more accurate as lambs to the slaughter
Oh yes, I love you really
I stand to attention
Oh, Fanny, I love you dearly
Something else I should mention?
You sweet thing
Lets not talk about MTV
I dont even want to start
I want to take a look at Classic Rock Radio
Were talking about the state of the art
Mr Grover n Mr Gillian
You must have made a million
The night that Frank Zappa caught on fire
Could you tell us all about it
Keep it short and use my version
Or everyone out therell think Im a liar
We can speak about bananas for one second
Just because I understand
You have to get them off your chest
But in the meantime while youre talking
Could you do some more of these here IDs
And then this station might maintain some interest
Oh yes, I love you dearly
But why do you exist?
Oh yes, I love you really
Is there something that I missed? |
Walk through the night looking for your kind of smile
Hoping to meet you I walk my love for miles
Your face, your eyes, I cant find the girl I look for
Shadows can conceal you
You cant hide, so please dont try
Your life and my love
But to search just makes me cry
Life was so young and another day is gone
Love seems a lost word
How can my heart be strong
When that was is again I wait for love to be there
Then in the shadows I see the face I look for
But then like the night youre gone just as before
A face in a crowd
A shadow once more |
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
I am a preacher with a message for my people
Over the world, scratching on the ground
Looking for the peace that nobody has found
I am a spokesman for a better way of living
Love is the word and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung
Let me hear you sing
Oh, tell it to the man whos power is the sermon on the wall
Tell it to the man, its you who says you can misjudge them all
Tell it until it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd
Tell it on the field of war and hope youll soon be justified
There is a better way of life and its not so hard to find
If you live and let the people in your world speak its mind
I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom
All over the world and it can be heard
If you are young the message can be sung |
Going to Rosas Cantina
Hoping that shes still there
Going to Rosas Cantina
Might have been
The dust in my eyes
Could have been the neon cactus
Lighting up the desert sky
Must have been
The dust in my eyes
Some would call it suicide
I would call it paradise
Some would call it suicide
Dancing on the table
When shes
Drunker than shes able
Dancing on the table
Is she right is she wrong
Will she sing another song
Wicked as it seems
Right now
Rosa wants her baby back
Since hes gone shes losing track
Rosa wants her baby back
Careful with that cadillac |
Put your money down
Take your choice
Thats the way it is
Every time with these boys
And you sense no shame
And you feel no disgrace
Somebody wins
Somebody loses
Its a dirty dirty race
Oh my life
Its a dogs life
One empty Monday
Out of the blue
Took a good luck turn
Started something new
Out of the gutter
Out of the rain
Out of my head
And Im feeling no pain
Oh my life/feeling no pain
Take the strain
Its a dogs life
Ducking in the shadows
Diving in the dark
Rolling with the punches
Striking at the heart
Touching all the senses
Breaking those taboos
Bursting at the seams
Blowing all my fuses
The turning of a page
The burning of a book
talking out of turn
just the way you look
When the time is right
But the shape is wrong
And you find yourself
Where you dont belong
Back to reality
Back on the line
Back into this and youll feel no pain
You want to do it one more time
We can do it once again
Oh my life
Its a dogs life |
Mother natures been good to me
Thats why Im sitting in this cherry tree
But its alright, its alright
Its not so bad
Im just a touch away
The shady lady
From shady lane
Is lying in my bed again
And its alright
It feels good
Its not so bad
When shes just a touch away
Nothing much
Is all I ask
And its alright, ok yes
Light as a feather, oh yes
And just a touch away
Like a rosebud
When the sun is high
She opens up
Before my eyes
And the light falls
On her wet skin
Its alright
Im just a touch away
Put a finger to her lips again
She cries with pleasure
Cries wih pain
And its alright
It feels good
Its not so bad
Were just a touch away
Nothing much
Is all I know
Not too fast
Not too slow
And its alright
Soft as a feather
And just a touch away |
Talking real world, all that pain
Try to fix it still comes out the same
Get down to Rosies
Wont you pull that plug
Last week
Someone made a mess of that rug
Talking big house way up town
One day one day
Ill put the money down
All that baby talk its for the birds
Lets make some honey
Honey in so many words
Oh no
Dont want a serious conversation
I just want to get you serious
Serious
I want to talk about love
You talk about the weather
Rain or snow
Talking cold wind
The way its going to blow
Talking good times night and day
Talk talk a stronger man
Could lose his way
Aphrodite now theres a girl
Good good loving
She spreads around the world
Forget your dancing all that boogaloo
Drag that purse over here
I got to talk to you |
Cold looking woman
Like a switch-blade knife
Baby says Im gonna break the law tonight
Ooh, if your daddy could see you now
Rock and roll rebel on a jailbreak run
Big operator, but a little high-strung
Theres one in every crowd
You got it comin to ya
It happens every time
Thats what you get for a life of crime
You got it coming to you
If you cross that line
And you cant back up
When the going gets tough
And if the fires that hot
You better kiss the girl goodbye
Slow down sister
Youre burn, burn, burnin
At the speed of light
You better slow down sister
Put on the brakes
Wont get thru the night
Machine gun love
Gonna shoot to thrill
Im tellin you that little girls kiss could kill
She got me stranded on a one-way street
Cant break the chains
The ties that bind
Slayin to the rhythm
And my hearts in time
Be where the taste is bittersweet
You got it comin to ya
It happens every time
Thats what you get for a life of crime
You got it coming to you
If you cross that line
When the lights roll down
And you hit the ground
Itll happen so fast
Youll never even have a chance
Slow down sister
I say look out now
Danger in the little girls eyes
Slow down sister
Well youre gonna find out
Trouble in paradise
That aint nice
Youre a non-stop party
Youre a butterfly ball
Twice around the block
Youre thinking you done it all
Come on now baby
You know its true
You want all the money
And the price of fame
Ride to glory
On another mans name
Now theres a lesson here for you
You got it comin to ya
It happens every time
Thats what you get for a life of crime
You got it coming to you
When you cross that line
And you cant back up
When it gets real rough
If the fires that hot
You better kiss the girl goodbye
Slow down sister
Burn, burn, burnin
At the speed of light
Slow down sister
Put on the brakes
Now were gettin thru the night
You better slow down sister
I said Look out now
Theres danger
In the little girls eyes
Slow down sister
Slow down, slow down
Gonna find out theres trouble
Trouble in paradise
I said, slow! |
Dont turn off the light you might draw the Queen of Spades
Dont shut the door you dont need to be alone
I wont bring you no food
There might be some poison in your meat
Ive got to know are you dead or alive
Dont shut the door are you dead or alive
Dead or alive
Pick your window youre leaving
Dont look in the mirror with a dollar up your face
Youve got money to burn cheap at half the price
Oh, dont powder your nose
Dont blow your brains just for the the crack
Ive got to know are you dead or alive
Just for the crack are you dead or alive
Dead or alive, yea
Pick your window youre leaving
Youre running so fast but you know youre standing still
Im afraid of your shadow and the knife in its hand
Youre dancing with death to the tune of the dealer
And he dont care, dont give a toss
Dont want to know if youre dead or alive
Dead or alive, dead or alive
Pick your window youre leaving |
Watch him ride into the sunset
Hed have the little fat guy
Right along his side
Echoing off the canyon, Hey Cisco
From Pancho n pretty soon
The black sombrero would reply
Hey Pancho whats happening mi amigo
Its getting somewhere near the end
This winding trail
When weve raced around the corner
For the final dusty time
Mr Renaldo n Carillos
Going to jail
What they doing to my friend
What they doing to my man
Dont matter when
Ill stay to the end
Hey Cisco
Lets go out in style
Were going down together
Cant open no more supermarkets
Duncans sombreros hanging
Up there with his guns
Some cigarro sucking slag
Under a chip Hollywood chandelier
Says Cisco, Kid you know
Your day is done
Let me know how you are doing
Mr Renaldo
If you need me I could be |
You know my will is broken
Youve got my heart on hold
Im lying here in pieces, so cold
It gets so hard to handle
All the things you need to say
But I guess I heard it all before anyway
Is love such a blessing or a curse
Either way
Truth hurts
Well therell be no more running
Now Ive got you face to face
I want to know who youve been loving in my place
You say I had it coming
Try to hold my head up high
Love gave me wings and left me paralyzed
Theres nothing left alive
As we watch the spirits die
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the guilty sleep
Babe Ive got my pride
Somehow I will survive
The world keeps turning
My heart keeps learning
Do you know where the lonely sleep tonight
Another fallen angel
How far I just cant tell
Living without love is a living hell
Why is love such a blessing or a curse
Baby either way
Truth hurts
Babe Ive got my pride
Somehow I will survive
My heart keeps learning
Dont know which is worse
But one thing that I know
Truth hurts |
Oh, my honey, take my money
I do what I wanna do
Dont you know the sun is shining
Im sure trying, I aint crying
My feet wont touch the ground
I aint got no more misery
Spread the word Im living again
Tell the world Im loving again
Dont you know I feel like giving again
Freedom, oh
No more walking or fast talking
No things are gonna wear me out
Im sure glad I wasnt born a fool, yeah
Some day, baby, youll be my lady
I know that it wont be long
We aint got no more misery
Spread the word Im living again
Tell the world Im loving again
Dont you know I feel like giving again
Freedom
Oh, honey honey honey, taking all my money
I do what I really wanna do
Oh, the sun is shining
I tried, I tried, I tried, I tried, I never never cried
Oh, my feet wont touch the ground
I aint got no more misery
Spread the word Im living again
Tell the world Im loving again
Dont you know I feel like giving again
Freedom |
Flying through the night in a beat up wagon
A mike stand up my jacksy
Give me a beer and Ill stand on a chair
And slip into something sexy
Black Cat Woolwich, The Tigers Head
The Cafe des Artistes, The Revolution and the Bag O
Nails
Ill see you down the Speak
Your Ma said you slept real good in your food last
Night
But you couldnt hold it down
And you broke up a damn good fight
Ligging at the Old Marquee, spinning Jack a line
Even he knew better than me, back in sixty nine
Sixty nine, sixty nine
Sixty nine, sixty nine
Sixty nine sixty nine
On the road to Paradiso
Back of your head, got to pay some dues
Rugged looked down as the Thames swallowed
His life at the Boathouse, Kew
Hot girls, no AC, cheap TV, sleep on the floor
Hallelujah whats a roadie, hush my baby sleep no
More |
I came around to your front door, your back door was locked
Pushed your button, rang your bell, you didnt hear me knock
I saw your window open wide, so I crawled inside
I ran to the top floor, but you were on the ground
I was on my way up and you were going down
Fire in the basement
Burn me up, scream and shout
Theres fire in the basement
Only you can put it out
This strange sensation that Im going through
Sweet infatuation when I get next to you
I know what it takes to be a man, you understand
Because when the sparks start flying youll never be the same
You know Ill hate to leave you girl but Im so glad I came
Smoky eyes burning bright
Innocence lost, satisfy my appetite
Surrender to the flame, whats your name
Lets get down to business, how can you refuse
Give this boy a helping hand, come on light my fuse |
I wasnt in the room when the action was going down
I may have been there once but at the time I was out of town
Im seeing strange fruit, theyre saying off with his head
One way or another Ill end up dead
You got the wrong man
You dont understand
You got the wrong man
You got the wrong man
I do what I can
I plead not guilty to the charges youve laid out on your desk
I know what youre thinking Oh yes - this is a DSF
I think Im prime ministerial material but I cant lie to you
So Im out of the running
But from here in my cell I imagine
Wouldnt that be something |
Nothing here for me today
Garbaggio from the men in grey
Dont do this
You cant do that
Whats the point
Whats the matter, anyway
Fat cats licking cream
Dirty business
Hard and mean
Narrow eyes and hungry days
Theres got to be
A better way
Something here about my face
Somehing make you think
I got time to waste
What you doing
Standing here
Why dont you call
Someone who cares
Fat cats all the same
Easy answers just a game
Another day nothing changes
Theres got to be a better way
A glistening of questioners
Prepared the inquisition
While jackals in the shadows
Manoeuvre for position
A fundament of righteous men
A barrow ideals
The carriage of misjustice
Crushes all beneath its wheels
Conspiracies of silence
Within the temple walls
Graveyards full of promises
Tha no one can recall
A castle full of rascals
A fortress full of thieves
A parliament of silver tongues
That latter to deceive
Oh my darling Carolina
If you get the chance
To walk behind here
Shes so clean
You see no splash
Just the Texas chainsaw massacre
Fat cats got to go
Im Rockin and rolling
From my headache to my toes
Shes trying to set the world on fire
Up there in her Ivory tower
Theres got to be a better way |
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
But none of us could reach that high
She came on like a teaser
I had to touch and please her
Enjoy a little paradise
The log was in my pocket
When Lucy met the Rockett
She never knew the reason why
I cant deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh, its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Its knocking at the door
You know its no good running
Its not against the law
The point of no return
And now you know the score
And now youre learning
Whats knockin at your back door
Sweet Nancy was so fancy
To get into her pantry
Had to be the aristocracy
The members that she toyed with
At her city club
Were something in diplomacy
So we put her on the hit list
Of a common cunning linguist
A master of many tongues
Now she eases gently
From her Austin to her Bentley
Suddenly she feels so young
I cant deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh, its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Its knocking at the door
You know its no good running
No, its not against the law
The point of no return
Now you know the score
And now youre learning
Whats knockin at your back door
Sweet Lucy was a dancer
But none of us would chance her
Because she was a Samurai
She made electric shadows
Beyond our fingertips
But one of us could reach that high
I cant deny it
With that smile on her face
Oh, its not the kill
Its the thrill of the chase
Feel it coming
Knocking at your door
You know its no good running
Now its knockin at your door
Knockin at your back door |
We travelled through time and we’re on the stretcher’s end
We’re all from up north and I live in Wonderland
Dear neighbor of mine was centuries, light years apart
You carry no flame, you’re visible in the dark
Bring it across the border, all those people are waiting flags
Some of them need a few rich men but I can’t prove that something holds me back
The man in the moon is looking the other way
And while he’s distracted we turn to another page
No questions or guilt, it seems like we’re just out of say
You do what you will, I’ll do another thing
Imagine when we’ll wake up
Scratching here, everything’s changed
While you spray here with it
You’ll know reality’s been rearranged
It’s beautiful
Oh yes, it’s beautiful
Oh yes, we merge into one |
My shoes are heavy
My feet are winding down
I look for her in comers
But shes not around
What I eat is eating me
It hits me hard
Im one jack short of a royal flush
A stranger holds the card
Here come the salvation in the shape of my guitar
And Im gonna ride it like a shooting star
I dont want your money
I dont want your soul
I dont need a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up
Mother Mercy told me
A picture never lies
She told me no self respecting hero
Ever cries
The prisoner walks in circles
The victim walks alone
Scissors cut the paper
The paper wraps the stone
Standing at the entrance to the gates of paradise
The lights go down the heat goes up thats when I cry
I put my faith in fortune reaching for the sky
The only game in town that gets me high
I dont want your money
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I dont want your soul
I just want to get right down and lick it up
I dont need a reason
I just want to get right down and lick it up |
Shiny silver faces, coloured paper falling into their hand
Never to be seen again it must have been a one night stand
Up until the dawn I could have sworn that everything was alright
Thieving bastards stole my life and legged it off into the night
Its a dirty business its a dirty game
Everybody different but theyre all the same
They draw you in you hear a siren call
Build you up so they can see you fall
Youve seen it all before
Been there since time began
You know whats coming next
Everything gets out of hand
Theyve got the lot and god knows what they think that the deserve even more
Psychopathic tendencies, theyve got a lot of answer for
Scratch my back and Ill stab Yours, no wonder its a universal sickness
Who are they, you well might ask, come with me and you can be my witness
Its a dirty business its a crying shame
You blink your eye and all the laws have changed
Its a dirty business its crying shame
You blink your eye and all the laws have changed
They say the vulture is a bird of prey
No-one told me it would come this way
You seen it all before
Been there since time began
You know whats coming next
Everything, everything gets out of hand |
Youre lazy, just stay in bed
Youre lazy, just stay in bed
You dont want no money
You dont want no bread
If youre drowning, you dont clutch no straw
If youre drowning, you dont clutch no straw
You dont want to live, you dont want to cry no more
Well my trying aint done no good
I said my trying aint done no good
You dont make no effort, no, not like you should
Lazy, you just stay in bed
Lazy, you just stay in bed
You dont want no money
You dont want no bread |
Outside her window
Thats where I am every night and every day
But outside her window
I cry, I cried my life away
Theres a jukebox a-playin
A half a block down
Singing Im going to the river
Im gonna jump on in and drown
But I aint gonna do it, no
Just gonna keep on hanging around
Oh its all over
Oh its all over
All over
Now, now, now, now
But outside her window
A pretty bird comes to play
And I know, I know I must have cried a teardrop
Because I scared that pretty little thing right on away
When I see two young lovers
Walkin down the street
It just hits me
When I see their two lips meet
Oh I put my head
Right over where my heart used to be, cos
Its all over
Oh dont tell me its all over
Its all over
Now, now, now, now |
Going down
Down, down, down, down, down
Going down
Down, down, down, down, down
Got my feet in the window
My mind on the ground
Let me down
Close that boxcar door
Let me down
Slam that boxcar door
Well, I’m going to Chattanooga
And sleep on sister Irene’s floor
Going down
Down, down, down, down, down
Going down
Down, down, down, down, down
Got my big feet in the window |
Youre so hot, youre so cool
I can see that youre nobodys fool
Now tell me am I coming through
Its too late, I cant wait
Believe its going to be a big mistake
But Im tempted to believe in you
I dont want to run and I dont want to fight
I just want to be the one you love tonight
Un close my eyes, let it be
Bring on the band of angels from the great divide
Ill never get to heaven so take me for a ride
Fruit on the tree is shaking, my mind is in a daze
I just want a taste of your love
And learn your wicked ways
Youre so bad, it feels good
Theres so much I never understood
Oh Mama take a look at me now
Im hung up, strung out
All I want to do is scream and shout your name
Addicted to you somehow
Electric in your touch theres magic in your kiss
You know I never knew that love could feel like this
Unclose my eyes, set me free |
Woke up this morning, rain coming down
Washing the sin from the street
Sometimes I feel like Im losing ground
Just trying to make ends meet
Well I work every day to sweat out my dreams
Wont you show me that you understand
Its only my life, whatever that means
And youve got it all in your hands
I need someone to pull me through
Wont you take the pain from my head
Give me all your loving, the way you always do
Give me breakfast in bed
I feel like the good days are numbered
And my nights are getting too long
My hopes and my fears take their toll on the years
And my willpowers almost gone
Well its a time full of trouble
A time of desperate need
Sometimes life dont make sense
Fighting the anger, jealousy and greed
One day Ill look back and wonder where it all went
It dont take much to please me
Im just a simple man
Wont you please believe me
I got to tell you
It dont take much - a tender touch
So baby do the best that you can |
Door
Dont close the door
I want to feel the cold
I want to see the light
Momma where you gone
This is no dream
Cant make it right if its wrong
Dancing with strangers
Fighting with friends
Its a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line
Empty hearts and icy stares
Call me Solitaire
The eyes
In the face on the wall
Follow me round the room
Follow me everywhere
A heart without an echo
A man without a child
Alone with all my sorrow
Its a matter of time between love and despair
Falling over the line
Empty hearts and icy stares
Call me Solitaire
Solitaire |
Never a word, a word so true
Passed between us, me and you
Heard you found your pot of gold
Thats the story Ive been told
Never a word was said in vain
Some were never sad again
Some were lost in lovers heat
Some lay fallen at our feet
All day all night
You and only you
All day all night
I think of you and only you
Never a word escaped my lips
Silenced by your fingertips
I kept my word, can you believe
All this time so hard to breathe
Hard to breathe |
Should’ve been there to start the game
To witness why I was in
Me still the usual bow, got the awesome right ahead
Well that’s just to bring, you understand the prospect of our mission
Nothing could possibly go alright til we lost out inhibition
Then we hit the lights
Maybe we should bring the girl that is
There’s nothing about it
Another world
While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst
Après vous, so go first
Things got new since we tend to do
We’ll liquefy the future
We just played our skills in romance
In the art of self-delusion
We went from chosen few, our confidence grew
It depends on where you’re standing
It’s not much you think
It’s only a blink between takeoff and landing
Uh, come on man
Feel the boot turn
If it’s a burst, so what can you do?
Yes I know that she wants me too
But I can’t jump the queue so après vous
While you go ahead, I’ll clench my thirst
Après vous! |
Oh youre all looking up
With hearts of devotion
Through the dust and the heat lost to me
In a cloud of emotion
I have no motivation
To keep this breathless pace
Im more inclined to stay here
In this breathing space
And the sun goes down
And the moon comes up
I never tried to walk the walk
Because the steps are elusive
The membership is too costly
And exclusive
Hey, the more Ive got
The more I stand to lose
So Im going to unpack my bags
And take off my shoes
Let me tell you theres no point knocking
At the big oak door
Cant you see that its all full up
They cant take no more
The lines so long
Its almost Disney
Ooh:
Wont somebody kiss me |
Subsets and Splits
