"Pain Of Love"

"Pain Of Love"


When the pain of love gets rough
Will you run away saying that you had enough
When the pain of love gets strong
Will you feel that you just can't carry on
Will you sigh will you cry will you die
Will you hang on and say "we can make it baby"
Will you give up and swear to God you've had enough
Tell me will you try to fake it baby

When the pain of love gets rough
Will you run away saying that you had enough
When the pain of love gets strong
Will you feel that you just can't carry on

When the road gets a little bit rocky
Will you turn your back girl and go the other way
When the road gets a little bit muddy
Will you feel you can try it on another day
Tell me is it fair when you care
To even dare take a heart and break it
Is it wise to apologize
Hang on strong and try to take it baby

When the pain of love gets rough
Will you run away saying that you had enough
When the pain of love gets strong
Will you feel that you just can't carry on

Will you sigh will you cry will you die
Will you hang on and say "we can make it baby"
Will you give up and swear to God you've had enough
Tell me will you try to fake it baby

When the pain of love gets rough
Will you run away saying that you had enough
Tell me now
When the pain of love gets strong
Will you feel that you just can't carry on

When the pain is so strong
Tell me that you got enough
When the pain is so strong
Baby tell me you can hold on

"Painted Bells"

"Painted Bells"


Winding down the Drury Lane
I fall with the evening rain
My thoughts with the water flow
Like steam rising off the road

Passers-by watch their step
To see that they don't get wet
And I'll just sit beneath this tree
Let the drops fall all over me
And watch the city lights flick on

The crowds collide just out of my reach
The taxi's lights flash up and down the street
I sit and watch the faces go by
I don't wonder where to or why

Cos it's me the rain my warm dark pain
Alone at ease and nowhere at all
My thoughts just drift on back to you
It seems you're here so it must be true
We never parted you never went away

So I order up another glass
Not to let the moment pass
Turning around in love with you
Oh I know you loved me too
And it's always been this way

Here sitting in my wet cafe
I catch a spark across the way
A string of tiny painted bells
Seem to have a tale to tell

A string of tiny painted bells
On someone that I once knew well
Is all that's left
The rest's not true
I smile I see it's really you
The rain will go
And you will too

And I order up another glass
Not to let the moment pass
Turning around in love with you
Oh it got too hard to do
And it's always been this way
Yes it's always been this way

"Payday"

"Payday"


Hey you steppin on my head
Why you have to throw rocks at my bed
Must you shout or could you kindly keep it down
Do we really need it.. an Apocalypse right now

Oh man

She was good to me right until the end
Where I left her yeah well its hard to tell
Got to call her just a soon as I get well

Come payday everybody gets strange
Talkin 'bout my Payday hey hey

And let's just say whatever man whatever gets you through

Cos its Payday

Talkin about my Payday hey hey

Brothers.. sisters
Tonight we party tonight we're dancing
Hey we're talking the ultimate smash of a lifetime
This ones on me...

Sometimes it like a war in here facing down alone
But ever since I woke up I've felt it in my bones
Waiting for that hour is all that keeps me clear
There's gonna be some lightning strikin man when I get out of here

Cos it payday y'all better stay outta my way
Talking about some Payday hey hey hey

Gonna shake it on down tonight

Come payday....

"Pearl Of The Quarter"
(originally by Steely Dan)



On the water down in New Orleans
My baby's the pearl of the quarter
She's a charmer like you've never seen
Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous

Where the sailor spends his hard-earned pay
Red beans and rice for a quarter
You can see her almost any day
Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous

And if you hear from my Louise
Won't you tell her that I said hello
Please make it clear
When her day is done
She got a place to go

I walked alone down the miracle mile
I met my baby by the shrine of the martyr
She stole my heart with her Cajun smile
Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous

She loved the million dollar words I'd say
She loved the candy and flowers that I bought her
Said she loved me and was on her way
Singing voulez voulez voulez-vous

And if you hear from my Louise
Won't you tell her that I love her so
Please make it clear
When her day is done
She got a place to go

"Picture Of A Broken Heart"

"Picture Of A Broken Heart"


You're out there with friends
Going club to club
I see you almost every night
I watch you dance every every dance
Men lined up left and right
I hear you telling stories
'Bout your habits and your lies

You paint a pretty picture
Deception's quite an art
Just one look in your party face
And I can see a broken heart
I can see a broken heart

You wear your smile
Just a little too tight
Flirt too much with the band
You laugh and sing just a little too loud
Like a woman who's just lost her man
You're act is quite convincing
But loneliness leaves clues

You paint a pretty picture
Deception's quite an art
Just one look in your party face
And I can see a broken heart
I can see a broken heart

I can see a thousand heartaches
Hidden in your spell
And the hurt behind the sad blue eyes
I've been there
I've had my own high times
Yes I've had my falls
I can hear a lot of words
But that picture says it all

You paint a pretty picture
Deception's quite an art
Just one look in your party face
I can see a broken heart

You paint a pretty picture
Deception's quite an art
All I can see in your party face
I can see your broken heart
Ain't nothing but a party babe
Mmmm
You got your men lined up left and right
Hey
I hear you telling stories about your happy life
Hey hey hey
I can see your broken heart

"Rainy Night In Georgia"
(originally by Tony Joe White)

"Rainy Night In Georgia"
(originally by Tony Joe White)



Hoverin' by my suitcase
Tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
A heavy rain is falling
Seems I hear your voice calling, it's all right

A rainy night in Georgia
A rainy night in Georgia
Seems its raining all over the world
Feels like its raining all over the world

Neon lights are flashing
Taxicabs and buses passing, through the night
The distant moaning of a train
Seems to play a sad refrain, tonight

On a rainy night in Georgia
Rainy night in Georgia
Feels like it's raining all over the world
Seems its raining all over the world

How many times I wonder
But it still comes out the same
No matter how you think of it, or look at it
Its life and you just got to play the game

Find my place in the boxcar
So I take my guitar, to pass some time
Late at night when it's hard to rest
I hold your picture to my chest, and I feel fine

On this rainy night in Georgia
Rainy night in Georgia
Seems like its raining all over the world
Feel like its raining all over the world

On a rainy night in Georgia
Seems its raining all over the world
All over my world
Hmmmm hmmmm

"Rich Woman"

"Rich Woman"


I got a woman with plenty of money
She got the money and I got the honey

Called my baby late last night
She told me, daddy, everything was all right

I don't have to worry about what she will find
I know my baby she's all my mine

She's getting me a Cadillac and a diamond ring
She told me, daddy, don't you worry bout a thing

She's all my mine and I'm so glad
She the best woman that I ever had

"Right Out Of My Head"

"Right Out Of My Head"


Are there directions to these things
Is this my life or just some scheme

There's a message by the phone
I knew somehow you'd be there

But if I get that busy tone
It's just like being nowhere
And I go falling again

Right out of my head
You keep coming true to me
Right out of my head
I knew that you'd come through for me

Games of the heart are played by fools
But baby your heart don't know no rules

Well I get the picture
I get it through your laughter

And I get the feeling
You know just what you're after
You do it again and again and again and again

Right out of my head
You keep coming true to me
Right out of my head
I knew that you'd come through for me

Right out of my head
I've got to have you near to me
Right out of my head
It's never been so clear to me

Sometimes one gets the notion
He's living out his own fantasy
Now I've got the notion
That it's you and me

Come on baby lets go outside
I think we're going for a very long long long ride

I'm burning in the night
Racing through the fine lines

Through the fires light
I know that you'll be waiting
I'm falling again and again and again and again and again

Right out of my head
You keep coming true to me
Right out of my head
I knew that you'd come through for me

Right out of my head
You keep coming true to me
Right out of my head
I knew that you'd come through for me

"Runnin Blue"

"Runnin Blue"


Listen to me lady
So it's understood
This runnin' round life
Ain't doing me no good
I get tired
Get so tired of paying dues
But it seems there ain't no way around it
No end to runnin' blue

But I like to have my fun
Like to run around
And I ain't no stranger
In nobody's town
But I get tired
Get so tired of changing views
And the road don't get no shorter
Runnin' round and runnin' blue

Well this runnin' round life
Might seem nice and easy
But when you're blowing with the wind
Sometimes it gets real breezy
A man gets tired
I feel like I was born to lose
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue

Got no holes in my pockets
No holes in my shoes
But I don't know if I'm leaving Detroit
Or coming into Baton Rouge
I get tired
So tired of changing views
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue

Left my billfold at the airport
My suitcase on a train
Now I can't find my umbrella
And it sure looks like rain
I get tired
So tired of playing to lose
And the road don't get no shorter
When you got the runnin' blues

Well the night life ain't a good life
But it's my life too
Once you're bound to this highway
Ain't nothing you can do
Except get tired
Oh get tired of paying dues
And there ain't no way around it
No way round runnin' blue

"Sail On White Moon"

"Sail On White Moon"


Your world was not the kind
I ever thought I'd find
Myself to be a part of

Oh but here I stand
In the middle of a foreign land
A stranger with love in his heart mmmm

For love has no eyes
It comes in no disguise
Its free for those who want to share

And I've chosen you to be mine
So girl lets not waste no time
Lets not worry about what they say
Lets take care of what is ours today

Sail on white moon
Across the dark and starry sky mmmm
Sail on white moon
Our love won't die

But girl you must realize
There'll be a difference in our lives
We're gonna be rejected
Whoah but thats to be expected

Sail on white moon
Across the dark and starry sky
Mmmmm sail on white moon
Across the dark and starry sky
La la la la la la lala la la la la la la lala
mmmm la la la lala la la la la la la lala
