Been Drinkin’

I been drinkin’

All day long:

I got a fist full of dollars

And baby been coming on strong

I been sippin’

Fine red wine:

Gets my baby in the mood

And we doin’ just fine

I been dancin’

cheek to cheek:

My baby shows me lovin’

Makes my knees go weak

(Eight days a week)

I been cryin’

All night long:

I spent all a’ my money

And my girl has been and gone

I been thinkin’

What to do:

Seems my lady’s only stay

Until my money’s through

EMPTY DAZE

FIRE CAME TO GUIDE ME

THROUGH THE DARKNESS OF YOUR EYES

PAIN CAME TO HAUNT ME IN THE NIGHT

LOVE TRIED TO FIND YOU

IN THE TEMPLES OF MY MIND

YOUR ANGER CUT ME LIKE A KNIFE

FEAR CAME TO BLIND ME

AS YOU WALKED AMONG THE STARS

HOPE ONLY PERISHED IN YOUR GAZE

TEARS FELL IN SILENCE

AS THE SUN WAS BRUSHED AWAY

YOUR LAUGHTER FILLED THE EMPTY DAYS

Nobody Else To Call

You’s the one I love

Ain’t nobody else to call:

When I’m lookin’ for love

The list is just that small

You the woman I love

And I need you love so bad:

I been clear around the world

A love like yours just can’t be had

Well I’m down on my knees

I’m telling you what I feel:

I know I can’t buy your love

And girl I know you’re real

All Them Songs

Well they say

All them song’s the same

They say 1-4-5 together

What’s to blame

They may be right

They may be wrong

But I ain’t moving from this groove

For the rest of the night

Git on up

Git on down

Just don’t be standin’ still

When the Doc is on

Catch Me Cryin’

Catch me crying

In the rain

No more lying

No more pain

I want to tell you

What I know

I want to tell you

I just can’t go

Really want to hold you close to me:

Really want our love to set us free

See me wlkin’

Through the night

I wanna see you

Make it right

I want to ask you

Will you stay

Just want to try

Some other way

Going Down Slow

Well I’m going down slow

That’s fast enough:

It’s bad to know

Things is turning rough

I’m going down slow

But I’m fading fast:

I’m living proof now brother

That love don’t last

I’m going down slow

And I got no time:

Can’t buy no love

Ain’t got a dollar nor a dime

NANCY BLUES

She so cool

And she so fine

I’m so glad

That girl is mine

Yes it’s true

I’m in love with Nancy Blues

She keep me straight

She keep me right

Gives me love

Both day and night

Yes it’s true

I’m in love with Nancy Blues

I looked so high

And I searched low

For the beautiful lady

I want’s to know

Yes it’s true

I’m in love with Nancy Blues

Something I Said

Well you took my gold

And turned it into lead:

You took my heart

And turned it on its head

You took my love

And left me here for dead:

And I still believe

It’s something that I said

You took my Chevvy

And you drove my wheels away:

But I still be dreamin’

You be driving back one day

When the Sun

When the sun refused to shine

And I give you everything I got

And your still not mine

Where do I go?

What do I do?

How my gonna turn this thing around

And get a hold on you

Into the day

And into the night

Tryin’ to figure out if I’m doing it

Wrong or right

What do I say?

What do I do?

How do I know if my love is really

Getting through to you?

MY MY MY You, you, youI love the things youDo to me babyAnd the children in your eyesI, I, I,I want to look you in the eyeNo time for sad goodbyes Try, try, try,I love you 'till the day I dieThere is nothing I won't doLie lie lieI'll tell you what you want me to babyI don't want to see you cry And after the rainThe sun will shineLove will make you mineCry freedom, cry toughAnd be freeCry freedom, cry toughOn to me.

SHINE ON ME She was a child Of eleven years oldWhen they took her From her familyTook her to a room Where the sun don't shineAnd chained her to a wallWorked her like a dogWith another nine kids in chainsSome were only eight years oldAnd she was thereBecause her father said"She's worth her weight in gold" They never let her see the lightOr walk without her prisonShe never got to knowWhere the hell she wasOr what bad she might have doneShe slept on the dirty floorAnd cried at nightAnd prayed she would not grow oldBecause her father saidShe was worth her weight in gold They took her from the roomAnd she saw the sunAnd she did not smileShe stumbled in the lightAnd the tears came downAs they cut away her chainsShe was five long yearsIn a filthy roomWhere she prayedThat she never would grow oldBecause her father saidShe was worth her weight in gold Shine on meShine on meLord let the sunShine down so brightAnd set them free

IN MY TIME (THE EARTH DIED) Here I am Like a stoneI am old and Quite aloneLocked inside To surviveOr else to die There's no air There's no lightYou cannot tell Day from nightAnd no-one "really Knows the reason why"I was young I was freeAnd the Earth Belonged to meOh and I, I let it slip away And I knew Earth would dieAnd I knew The reasons whyBut a higher Purpose sparkledIn my eye CHORUSThere was night There was dayYou could watch Your children playIn my time You could watch The sunrise too There were seas There were trees There were birds To ride the breeze In my time A hundred years ago Where were you (When) Skies were blueThere was "nothing You could do"Too too busy Too busyGetting by There was greed There was needThere were hungry Mouths to feedAnd we stripped The lonely planet bare And some tried And they triedBut the Earth Just putrifiedIt's a shame They saidBut no-one really cared CHORUS......................

HEART OF

AMERICA

We were driving in our American carDown an ancient tarmac highwayNo end in sight could not see that far In the middle of

America

Cars drove past and no sun shonePeople hurrying, too far from home In the middle of

America

We were cruising, driving out of the night60 miles east was a houseWhere a mother and her children died In the middle of

America

40 west as a bird might fly,stood the house where the greatest ever president first saw light In the middle of

America

Down on the ground as far as we could seeWere the closed down factories andThe new reality, ghost town industry In the middle of

America

The sky was dark and the world looked shabbyAnd my boy turned round and said"Daddy, are we still in America?" Right hereIn the middle of

America

FIND ANOTHER WAY Look back in anger?No find another wayTake away the bulletsAnd the bloodA child should know no dangerMake her future payBuild the waters highAnd own the flood Sanctify the childrenBuild a better dayKeep the faithWhatever that might beGlorify the innocentAnd make the devil payMercy be your masterOn the day You can make it if you tryThe bird of peace will flyYou seize the dayAnd kiss the past goodbye

LOVE AHEAD> I see the road is long and windingStretching out ahead of meThe say that love is cruel and blindingBut I know you love will set me free

OVER YOU It was a red kind of morningWhen she crept out the doorAnd she headed for the stationWhere she criedShe did'nt want to leave themBut she couldn't take no moreHer life was over since he died She rode the train to PittsburgWhere the people could not knowThat the pain inside her heart Was all she knewShe bathed her soul with opiatesAnd she borrowed a tired smileAnd she worshipped at aPhotograph of you Now her days blurred into yesterdaysHer future faded tooShe cried until the dawnRevealed her painShe died behind the city hallIn a room without a viewIn her hand they found the photograph of you And all the days and years they hadWell she never cried a tearAnd every day she thankedSomeone aboveShe'd nursed her loveSince childhoodThe boy who was her manAnd she never wanted more thanJust his love Over you Can't get over youDoesn't matter how I tryOver you Can't get over youGuess I'll love you'til I die

HEROIN Jesus was a friend of mineI see you laugh His mother helped me walk the lineWhen things were toughAnd Bhudda made a walk-on tooI see you smileHe put me in a world with youAnd helped me walk another mile. And then beneath the desert skyI saw your faceIt pushed me to the edge of timeAnd helped me see your saving GraceAnd Moses was a buddy tooI see you runHe told me I could save the worldIf I could only find a gun They fed meAnd they read meThey fucked me and And they bled meIn this strange world They hurt meAnd they cut me Fed me electricityIn this strange worldThey call their own And Judas was a friend of mineYou think I lieHe came and said we get it wrongAnd told me there's no reason whyAnd then I found there is no godI see you cry'Cause jesus said it might be oddBut there's no heaven when you die Roxy was a friend of mineShe made me smileCame to me from space and timeWhen things were bad She put me in a world with you And made me laughTook away the hurting tooWhen things were rough And Roxy made a walk-on tooI see her smileShe put me in a world with youAnd helped me walk another mile. Blind beneath the desert skyI hid my eyesI gambled all my love on youThe stakes were high. They cut meAnd they bled meThey loved meAnd they fed meIn a strange world They doctored meN' tortured meFed me electricity'inIn this strange worldThey call my ownIn this strange world

WARS OF ATTRITION(Mercy) Lay down your gunsAnd know mercyLay down your love and be mineLay down your arms of destruction, of warringDon't be a prisoner of time Take off your shield And your armourBury your hate in the groundTear off that maskOf confusion and worryYou're young and freeLook around Come lay in my arms and cryCome lay in my arms and cryCome drown in my loveDon't die in the wars of attrition Shake off those years of possessionLet all the painFade away
