"Sweet Box"

"Sweet Box"


Wat-ching sweet time box of love

Put me in your sweet box
I'm coming along in your sweet box
Do I have to take all night to get there

I saw in the load on your back light
What I saw through my glasses was alright
Do I have to take all night to get there

Wat-ching sweet time box of love

[Break]

Put me in your sweet box
I'm coming along in your sweet box
Do I have to take all night to get there

In your sweet box

I saw in the load on your back light
What I saw through my glasses was alright
Do I have to take all night to get there

In your sweet box

Wat-ching sweet time box of love

"Take Me Bak 'ome"

"Take Me Bak 'ome"


Came up to you one night noticed the look in your eye,
I saw you was on your own, and it was alright, yeh it was alright.
They said I could call you Sidney, oh I couldn't make out why,
standing here on your own an' it was alright, yeh it was alright.

[Chorus]
So won't you take me back home, a take me back home,
and if we can find plenty to do and that will be alright
yeh it will be alright

O you and your bottle of brandy, both of you smell the same,
you're still on your feet, still standing so it was alright,
yeh it was alright.
The superman comes to meet you, looks twice the size of me,
I didn't stay round to say goodnight so it was alright,
yeh it was alright.

[Chorus]

So won't you take me back home my baby, ah won't you take me back home yeh
I said take me, take me take, take me back home,
take me take me take, take me back home oh won't you..

"That Was No Lady That Was My Wife"

"That Was No Lady That Was My Wife"


Uh huh, Jack the Lad with his three-pieced suit on
Likes to keep his three-piece clean
At the bar with his whistle an' flute on
Chats to broads with his old routine

They say, who was the lady I saw you with last night … hey hey hey
Oh oh, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … ow ow ow

Harry Rash with his fancy foot work - showin' off at the local dance
Givin' all the girls the glad eye - ain't their type - he don't stand a chance

Oh ho, who was the lady I saw you with last night … well oh oh
Oh ho, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … well oh oh

If she finds out, you know she's gonna kill me - I'll be nowhere to be found
She'll throw me out … Will somebody come an' save me - I'll be hidin' underground
get on … hey hey hey, yeah … oh … oh well ho

Oh ho, who was the lady I saw you with last night … woh ho ho
Oh ho, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … hey hey hey
Woh ah, that was no lady, you're talkin' 'bout my wife … oh ho ho
That was my wife … well heh heh

"That's What Friends Are For"

"That's What Friends Are For"


Have you ever been lost in love, when you were seventeen
Have you ever had a dirty thought, an' tried to keep 'em clean
Did you ever have days like these, spend it on the job
Have you ever been lost in love, gone runnin' with the mob … runnin' with the mob

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … woh

Have you ever been lost in love, I never would have guessed
They tell me you're a big boy now, well an' truly blessed
Did she ever go overboard, keep the wolf at bay
Have you ever been lost in love, it happens every day … happens every day

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … yeah, yeah

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for

There are so many reasons, you keep on wantin' more
You're a friend in the bad times, that's what friends are for … woh, yeah

"The Bangin' Man"

"The Bangin' Man"


When you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before
Then the lady who's beside you gets up
She goes right out and locks the bathroom door
And your head won't stop singin'
The phone won't stop ringin'
Your plane is gonna leave at 12.15
It was close to 6 o'clock
Before you got to know a little dream

Look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home

I been in fifty diff'rent towns
In fifty diff'rent days
They all got different names
I been in fifty limousines
In fifty hotel rooms
They all look the same
And your head won't stop crackin'
Your case needs unpackin'
The only sound is from the TV screen
Until a knock comes on the door
And standing there's another little dream

Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home

'cos he's a Banger

Oh when you wake up in the mornin'
And you can't remember much about the night before
A small reminder of the state you were in
Are all the tattered clothes across the floor
And your head still keeps singin'
The phone still keeps ringin'
Remember just exactly where you've been
'Cos there ain't no doubt about it
There's no better things to see
Then what you've seen

Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bangin' back home
Oh look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, get down, get down
To bangin' back home
Look at the Bangin' Man
He says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down, down, down
To bangin' back home

"The Roaring Silence"

"The Roaring Silence"


I hear the silence roar, The tiger's silver paw
Can rip you to the bone, I roar in silence alone
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free

I hear the silence roar, we ain't above the law
She moves across a crowd, the roaring silence is loud
There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the savage in me, fancy-free and no guarantee … yeah

There's a never-ending stream, of never-ending dreams
You bring out the gypsy in me, can't you set this tearaway free
The roaring silent sound, take your defences down
All quiet on the western front, the roaring silence is gone
The roaring silence is gone, the roaring silence is gone

"The Shape Of Things To Come"

"The Shape Of Things To Come"


There's a new sun
Rising up in the sky
There's a new voice
Crying without afraid to die

Let the old one
Make believe it's blind and deaf and dumb
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

There are changes
Lying ahead on every road
There are new thoughts
Ready and waiting to explode
When tomorrow is today
The bells made all fuzz up
But nothing can change the shape of things to come

The future's coming on now sweet and strong
And no-one gonna hold it back for long

There are young dreams
Crowding out old realities
Revolutions
Sweeping in like a fresh new breeze

Let the old one
Make believe it's blind and deaf and dumb
Nothing can change the shape of things,
Nothing can change the shape of things,
Nothing can change the shape of things,
Nothing can change the shape of things,
Nothing can change the shape of things to come

Oh you can call me the joker
And you can call me the king of the bounce
Well you can call me the jumper
And you can call me the king of the pounce

It's the soul and the roll and the strength, the length

"The Whole World's Goin' Crazee"

"The Whole World's Goin' Crazee"


I said we all get our kicks
playing in a rock and roll band
there's nothing like the feeling
when you give it all you got
and people want to shake you by the hand
blasting through your mind
breaking to your hands and feet
there's nothing like the feeling
when the sound is getting wild
you're jumping up and dancing on the seats
[chorus]
the whole world's goin' crazee
crazee crazee crazee crazee crazee
the whole world's goin' crazee
crazee crazee crazee crazee crazee
i said yeh, i said yeh
we all get our kicks
playing in a rock and roll band
bring everyone back with you
we want to make you happy
spread the feeling all around the land
forget you're in a mission
we've all come here to rock and rave
loosen up some more
you got to get you in the mood
get rid of all the blues that you have saved
[chorus]
[break]

"Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing"

"Them Kinda Monkeys Can't Swing"


Everywhere has a wheeler an' dealer raised in the back streets of town
Everywhere has a spieler who's a clown

Every haunt has a hustler an' bustler born with the tongue of a snake
Every haunt has a muscler on the make

Them kinda monkeys can't swing and them birdies can't sing
If them pigs could fly maybe they'd fly away from me

Everywhere has a ducker an' diver doin' his best to impress
Everywhere has a sciver in a mess

Every place has a joker at poker born with a marked deck of cards
Every place has a smoker in the yards
