"Ballad Of The Sad Young Men"

"Ballad Of The Sad Young Men"


Sing a song of sad young men
Glasses full of rye
All the news is bad again
Kiss your dreams goodbye

All the sad young men
Sitting in the bars
Knowing neon lights
And missing all the stars

All the sad young men
Drifting through the town
Drinking up the night
Trying not to drown

All the sad young men
Singing in the cold
Trying to forget
That they're growing old

All the sad young men
Choking on their youth
Trying to be brave
Running from the truth

Autumn turns the leaves to gold
Slowly dies the heart
Sad young men are growing old
That's the cruelest part

All the sad young men
Seek a certain smile
Someone they can hold
For a little while

Tired little girl
Does the best she can
Trying to be gay
For a sad young man

While the grimy moon
Watches from above
All the sad young men
Play at making love

Misbegotten moon
Shine for sad young men
Let your gentle light
Guide them home tonight
All the sad young men

"Bewitched Bothered And Bewildered"

"Bewitched Bothered And Bewildered"


I'm wild again beguiled again
A simpering whimpering child again
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

Couldn't sleep and wouldn't sleep
Till love came and told me I shouldn't sleep
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

Lost my heart
But what of it
She is cold I agree

She can laugh
And I love it
Although the laugh's on me

I'll sing to her each spring to her
And long for the day I can cling to her
Bewitched bothered and bewildered am I

"Breakdown Dead Ahead"

"Breakdown Dead Ahead"


I call ya
You ain't in
What's this cold reaction
Where you been?
Ooh baby
Layin' it on the line
If this is last call
And you say that's all you can take
It's fine

I'm sorry but
It don't make sense
You'd be a fool
If you just run out on first offense
Ooh baby play it smart
Before you go south with your big mouth
Better check your heart

Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead
Maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn.. might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down

I told ya
No more lying
No more tears a falling
Stop your cryin'
Ooh baby
I'm your man
Before you go back to your side track
Baby understand

Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead
And just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn.. might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down
No no no
No no no no
No no no no no no no

Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead
And just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn.. might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down
No no no

Danger there's a breakdown dead ahead
And just maybe you're in way above your head
I may burn.. might upset you
But you know I'd never let you down down down down
No no no oh oh oh

"But Beautiful"

"But Beautiful"


Love is funny or it's sad
Or it's quiet or it's mad
It's a good thing or it's bad
But beautiful

Beautiful to take a chance
And if you fall you fall
And I'm thinking
I wouldn't mind at all

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful

And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know

Love is tearful or it's gay
It's a problem or it's play
It's a heartache either way
But beautiful

And I'm thinking if you were mine
I'd never let you go
And that would be but beautiful I know

"Cadillac Walk"
(originally by Moon Martin)



When the moon comes up the sun goes down
Rita starts her creeping around
Flame in her blood fire on her breath
Fourteen names carved on her chest
She gotta rose tattooed on her thigh
Dead men raise and sigh
It drives my young blood wild

My baby's got the Cadillac walk
The Cadillac walk
She's got the Cadillac walk
Cadillac walk

When Rita turns down her bed
Grown men plead and beg
Baby honey baby you're the one
Carve your name right on my gun
Oooh
Ain't she something nice
Bones rattle my dice
Ooh

My baby's got the Cadillac walk
The Cadillac walk
She's got the Cadillac walk
The cadillac walk

Lonely late at night honey hear my call
She said "boy I'm gonna make you crawl"
Rita pound by pound
Knows how to work it on down
Weep and moan to and fro
Leave your heart she'll steal your soul
No matter what the cost
Them dual exhausts
Make my motor sigh

My baby's got the Cadillac walk
She's got the Cadillac walk
She got the Cadillac walk
Cadillac walk

Lonely late at night honey hear my call
She said "boy I'm gonna make you crawl"
Rita pound by pound
Knows how to work it on down
Weep and moan to and fro
Leave your heart she'll steal your soul
No matter what the cost
Them dual exhausts
Make my motor sigh

My baby's got the Cadillac walk
She's got the Cadillac walk
She got the Cadillac walk
She got the Cadillac walk
Whoo

"Call Me"

"Call Me"


There is a place in the heart of this city
A little sun comes shining through yeah
For once in my life I can feel like
The sun is shining for me too
Cause in my life
Its never been this way before
Something's calling me
Calling now
Yeah its calling now

Did you ever think well love aint right for me
Though you try and try

It's just not meant to be
Cause in my life
I never felt this way before
But you call me babe
Call me now
Yeah you call me now
You just call
Call me babe
Call me now
You better call me now

The other night I'm down at Slim's place
This melody comes drifting through
The thing is this songs got some blue eyes
And stands about five foot two
Now it's my life
And someones knocking at the door
Cause you call me babe

"Call That Love"

"Call That Love"


Well there's a fire up the road burning about five foot three
I feel the heat all the way down here so she's getting to me

It's coming on strong like a beautiful bolt from the blue
She puts the heat in my Havana the bee in my boogaloo

(Call that love)
I call it lighting up the grid
(Call that love)
I call it blowing off the lid
(Call that love)
I call it brimstone lightning
Soul uptightening
Cos that's what it is

It's like you don't know what it is till you open up a bottle of wine
It's some well kept secret that was waiting there all the time

She's raging through my main frame burning out my circuitry
And there's a full blown Frankenstein monster waking up in me

(Call that love)
I call it burning down the main frame
(Call that love)
I call it speeding up the end game
(Call that love)
I call it running in the red
Sitting on a powder keg
Cos that's what it is

Lord how can this be..
All of this for me

Call it dreams on fire
Call it heart's desire
It's a lowdown feeling
The best that you ever had

It's no sign from above
It's called love sweet love
Well you can call it what you want to
But don't try to understand

(Call that love)
Call it rocking my world
(Call that love)
I call it lightning bolts
(Call that love)
Call it turning the key
(Call that love)
Just you and me
(Call that love)
Call it cooking on the range
(Call that love)
Mmmm getting signal again
(Call that love)
Is it too soon to know
(Call that love)
Well maybe so

(Call that love)
(Call that love)
Beaming on broadband
(Call that love)
Drowning on dry land

(Call that love)
Call it getting through
(Call that love)
Call it me and you
(Call that love)
Mmmm call it getting down
Mmmm going to town

"Can I Change My Mind"
(originally by Tyrone Davis)

"Can I Change My Mind"
(originally by Tyrone Davis)



She didn't bat an eye, as I packed my bags to leave
I thought she would cry, or sit around my room and grieve
But oh the girl she fooled me this time
Acting like I was the last thing on her mind
Now I'd like to start all over again
I just want to change my mind

As I took those steps, toward that open door
Knowing all the time, oh Lord I just didn't wanna go
She didn't give me no sign
Nothing that would make me wanna change my mind
And I would like to start all over again
Baby, can I change my mind
Cause I would like to change my mind

(You know, I was confused, sitting here by myself thinking,
watching you walk to the door and walk away,
what was I supposed to say "change your mind")

Oh I've played my game so many times before
But people let me tell y'all, that I never reached the door
Oh the wind it is high tonight
I keep lookin' for my baby but she's not in sight
And I would like to start all over again

Baby can I change my mind
Cause I would like to start all over again
Baby can I change my...my mind
Cause I would like to start all over again with you girl
