"Follow That Man"

"Follow That Man"


You take one part Buddha
And two parts cat
Run them through your computer
And that's where he's at
Some say he's ruthless
And some say he's a saint
They tell you he's innocent
I tell you he aint

I hear him think
I follow his flight
I'd know that footstep
In the darkest of nights

I follow that man

He's a creature of stealth
Don't run with the mob
Won't stop at nothing
Till he finishes the job

I hear him out there laughing
When he knows I'm closing in
I feel the desperation
Of the fool within
He's like your shadow
You can stop it dead
But when you go to take him
He's a step ahead

I follow that man

(I follow from a distance
As he appears
Between the darkness and the light
Meeted curtains part
He takes a drink
He takes a smoke
Takes a paper
He takes me along for the ride
I snatch his bag
We go deeper
Into the quarter
Through a rain slaked dampness into an alley
The smell of garbage and perfume
Brick by brick
His woman meets me
But it doesn't matter
Anyway, whose chasing who
I'm just holding the bag)

I hear him out there laughing
When he knows I'm closing in
I feel the desperation
I hear him think
I follow his flight
I'd know that footstep
In the darkest of nights

I follow that man
I follow that man

I watch him smoke
I watch him drink
I follow that man
I follow that man

"For All We Know"

"For All We Know"


For all we know we may never meet again
Before you go make this moment sweet again
We won't say goodnight until the last minute
I'll hold out my hand and my heart will be in it

For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

For all we know this may only be a dream
We come and go like a ripple on a stream
So love me tonight tomorrow was made for some
Tomorrow may never come for all we know

"Found Love"

"Found Love"


I found true love
One worth me waiting for
I found true love
One worth me waiting for
I'm gonna sign her to a contract
And won't find one with flaws

It's hard to believe
The condition the world is in
It's hard to believe
The condition the world is in
You can't trust nobody
Girl you know it's a sin

It's hard to believe
The condition the world is in
It's hard to believe
The condition the world is in
You can't trust nobody
Girl you know it's a sin

I found true love
One worth me waiting for
I found true love
One worth me waiting for
I'm gonna sign her to a contract
And won't find one with flaws

"Freedom For The Stallion"

"Freedom For The Stallion"


Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote
Lord have mercy what you gonna do
About the people who are praying to you
They got men making laws that destroy other men
They make money God it's a doggone sin
Oh Lord you got to help us find a way

Big ships sailing
Slaves all chained and bound
Headed for a brand new land
That some cat says he up and found
Lord have mercy what you gonna do
About the people who are praying to you
They got men making laws that destroy other men
To make money God it's a doggone sin
Oh Lord you got to help us find a way.. yeah

Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote
Lord have mercy what you gonna do
About the people who are praying to you
You know if I could look inside your mind
I'd bring back all the truth I find
Oh Lord you gotta help us find a way

Freedom for the stallion
Freedom for the mare and her colt
Freedom for the baby child
Who has not grown old enough to vote

"Full Lock Power Slide"

"Full Lock Power Slide"


She's so tired of this
So tired of that
Sometimes I don't see why
She'd go out of her way
To mess up your day
So what's the use in trying

To get along with her
It's all wrong for her
What more can you do
She just wants to fight
She likes to keep you uptight
And its just too bad for you

But the only thing is
She can take care of business
Like no woman you've ever seen
Then without thinking twice
She can make it so nice
Like no place that you've ever been

She got the smile
She got the pretty face
She keeps her pretty things on my mind
She got the moves
She got the grooves
She got the.. moves.. yeah..yeah..yeah

Oh the pains are here
The pains are there
She may not see tomorrow
She just can't go on
She's as good as gone
And her love may die of sorrow

But the only thing is
She can take care of business
Like no woman you've ever seen
Then without thinking twice
She can make it so nice
Like no place that you've ever been

She got the smile
She got the pretty face
She keeps the pretty things on my mind
She got the moves
She got the grooves
She got the moves.. yeah.. yeah.. yeah

"Funny"

"Funny"


Funny
All she needs is love
And this Sony light
Is all there is tonight
Oh oh oh oh yeah

Funny
She dreams about his touch
Where his skin must end
And where her own begins

She moves through shadows
Bathes in the lush
Luxurious hush alone
Ever alone

Miss Lonely
Needs company
As she breathes this room
Of deepest blue perfume

And love's where you find it
Open your heart
You've lived in the dark too long
Too long alone

Miss Lonely
Open up your heart
Let the morning light
Fill your sky tonight

Funny
All she needs is love
And this Sony light
Is all there is tonight

"Gangster Of Love"

"Gangster Of Love"


There was Frank James and Jesse James
Billy the Kid and all the rest
Supposed to have been some bad cats
Way out in the West
Those cats would have of dug me
And my gangster ways
They would have hung up their guns child
And dug into their graves

Coz I'm a gangster of love don't you know
That I'm a gangster... of love
Well now when I walk in a bar
Girls from near and far
Say there's the gangster of love

Well I jumped my mother's Cadillac
I rode across the border line
I roped 55 girls
And kissed them all at the same time
Took 25 or 30 put 'em all on a freight
And there was a million dollar reward for me
In each and every state
Sheriff said is your name Johnny "guitar" Watson
In a very deep voice
And I said yes sir brother sheriff
And that's your wife on the back of my horse

Coz I'm a gangster of love don't you know
That I'm a gangster of love
Well now when I walk in the bar
Girls from near and far
Say there's the gangster of love

Well I'm a gangster of love
Dont' you know
That I'm a gangster of love
I declare
I'm a gangster of love
Can't you see
That I'm a gangster... of love
Well now when I walk in a bar
Girls from near and far
Say there's the gangster of love
Don't you know

I said I jumped my mothers Cadillac
I rode across the border line
I roped 55 girls
And kissed them all the same time
Took 25 or 30 put 'em all on a freight
And there was a million dollar reward for me
In each and every state
Sheriff said is your name Johnny "guitar" Watson
In a very deep voice
And I said yes sir brother sheriff
And that's your wife on the back of my horse

Coz I'm a gangster of love
Can't you see
That I'm a gangster of love
Well now when I walk in the bar
Girls from near and far
Say there's the gangster of love

Well I'm A gangster of love
Dont' you know
That I'm a gangster of love
I declare
I'm a gangster of love
Can't you see
That I'm a gangster of love
Well now when I walk in a bar
Girls from near and far
Say there's the gangster of love

"Georgia"

"Georgia"


Georgia
I swear
I've never seen such a smile
Gorgeous enough
To make an angels heart run wild
Your lazy eyes and small town lies
Have got me in your spell
Your drive-in boys and backseat noises
Oh you learned so well
Oh oh oh
So how was I to know
You got me you got me... by now

Georgia
Your daddy was high
The night he dreamed of you
Georgia the stars were flying
The night that you came through
Christmas in your eyes
Oh what a nice surprise
Oh oh oh
And now I miss you so
But baby I'm comin' back to you

Georgia
We will be together dear
If they ever let me out of here
They will say that its not true
But I did it all for you
Georgia
Won't you tell them for me dear

Georgia girl
I never lived through a night like that
Sure enough
Got your loving where I like it at
Moonlight through the pines
Oh oh oh
But how were we to know
That wasn't moonlight
They were searchlights
Oh no

Georgia
We will be together dear
If they ever let me out of here
They will say that its not true
But I did it all for you
Georgia
Won't you tell them for me dear

Georgia
We will be together dear
Oh my dear
If they ever let me out of here

"Get On The Natch"

"Get On The Natch"


Oh sleeping beauty its time to wake up
And get ready for a brand new day
It's the new millennium and time to rise
And maybe think in a different way

Take a deep breath have a look around
Are you happy with what you see
If your body's fit and your mind is clear
No reason you ought not to be

If some joker's trying to sell you some new sport drink
Just tell him that you'll have to pass
You're paying three times as much for this bottle of water
As you're paying for a gallon of gas

Cause everything counts even small amounts
When you're working towards a goal
It's not about simple thirsts or hungers
But satisfying your soul

Get on the natch
And don't talk back
Get on the natch
Get off your booty
Get on the natch
Well allarootie
I can't tell you what to do do do

You eat a bucket of grease and a can full of sugar
You're adding to the critical mass
Pretty soon you're gonna need a new wardrobe
To cover your big new ass
I aint sayin' slim is beautiful
Or you got to be some showdog
But go down to the gym or find a place to swim
And ask the doctor if you can't jog

If not your body your memory
Think back to what it's like as a kid
When you're running and climbing and jumping around
Having fun with the things you did
It's not easy it's hard at first
When you're breaking the old routine
Get off your behind cut some TV time
Try reading that magazine

Get on the natch
And don't talk back
Get back in here you little..
Get on the natch
Well allarootie
I can't tell you what to do do do

You better watch out its alright to cry
But we don't like nobody whines
And being cool aint acting son
It's like read between the lines
Try a little dignity have self respect
And you'll reap just what you sow
If you're not sure about something don't worry about it
Just tell 'em "I don't know"

Get on the natch
Don't talk back
Get on the natch
And get your feet off the couch
Get on the natch
Well allarootie
I can't tell you what to do do do

Get on the natch
Get back in there you little..
Get on the nathch
And don't talk back
Get on the natch
Well allarootie
I can't tell you what to do do do
Get on the natch

Get on the natch
Slam that back door one more time
Well allarootie
Get on the natch
Get off your booty
Get on the natch
Good God Bernice
Get on the natch
Slam that back door one more time
Well allarootie
I can't tell you what to do do do
Get on the natch
Don't talk back

"Gimme The Goods"

"Gimme The Goods"


Throw that bundle out before they get here
Let some shark drag the thing away
I can see the headlights drawing very near
Let me do the talking now just in case fix you face
We can make the border by tomorrow
If your brilliant young Madonna doesn't do us in
We should have given her the shot that you took
And put her away

Gimme the goods and half of the action
You get the dame and get away
For me it's too late
But you can go straight back to the East Bay
Outta here

Oakland California 1948
Stella promised Blackie she was going straight
Now Blackie my main man he takes the major leagues
He could sell Geronimo a string of beads
But Stella could sell Blackie almost anything
He's lucky she ain't yet sold him up the stream
Just one more job could put us back on Easy Street
C'mon baby

Gimme the goods and half of the action
You get the dame and get away
For me it's too late
But you can go straight back to the East Bay
Outta here

I said Blackie you can't listen to the dame
She's gone back on her promise now it's a losing game
But we pulled off the job anyway
And she cursed the day we met
And Blackie took a slug or two he won't forget
By now the kerbs were shining with the falling rain
And I kept dousing Blackie just to keep him sane
I'm wondering if it's over now or just my fevered brain

Gimme the goods and half of the action
You get the dame and get away
For me it's too late
But you can go straight back to the East Bay
Outta here

Gimme the goods and half of the action
You get the dame and get away
For me it's too late
But you can go straight back to the East Bay
Outta here

Gimme the goods and half of the action
You get the dame and get away
For me it's too late
But you can go straight back to the East Bay
Outta here

Gimme the goods and half of the action
You get the dame and get away
For me it's too late
But you can go straight back to the East Bay
Outta here
