"Down On The Corner"


Early in the evening just about supper time
Over by the courthouse they’re starting to unwind
Four kids on the corner trying to bring you up
Willy picks a tune out and he blows it on the harp

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Rooster hits the washboard and people just got to smile
Blinky, thumps the gut bass and solos for a while
Poorboy twangs the rhythm out on his kalamazoo
Willy goes into a dance and doubles on kazoo

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

Down on the corner, out in the street,
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet.

You don’t need a penny just to hang around
But if you’ve got a nickel, won’t you lay your money down?
Over on the corner there’s a happy noise
People come from all around to watch the magic boy

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

Down on the corner, out in the street
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet
Tap your feet
Willy and the Poorboys are playing
Bring a nickel, tap your feet

"Driving Under The Influence Of Love"


Take me, break me
Turn me on my head and shake me
Cause I'm driving under the influence of love
Test me, undress me
Hell, go right ahead and arrest me
Cause I'm driving under the influence of love

I had me a good long look and I like everything I see
I've been on a bender, now I surrender
You're gonna have to throw the book at me
I'm sunk, I'm in trouble
Used to be single now I'm seeing double
I'm driving under the influence of love

I'm on a roll, I'm outta control
Quick, somebody take the wheel
Driving blind, I'm outta my mind
If you were in my shoes, you'd know how it feels
I'm legless, I'm libel
You're the key to my survival
I'm driving under the influence of love

So pay the jailer, set me free
Or lock me up and throw away the key
Driving under the influence
Guilty as charged, I got no defense
I'm driving under the influence of love

"East Side Story"


There was this girl I used to see - down on 42nd street
She'd walk by on her way to work - n' make the air smell so sweet
I used to sit in a coffee shop - sometimes I'd have a cup
And when she'd go by - she'd light up the sky
Like the sun coming up
She be standin' by the bus stop - driver opened up the door
I'd just sit n' watch her - getting on the 104
I wanna give her my number - I wanna tell her my name
Wanna climb on board that cross-town bus
Take a chance she feels the same
It's just another east side story
Everybody's got a tale to tell
And like a hundred guys before me
I fell under her spell
Some things you hold on to - some you just let go
Seems like the ones that you can't have
Are the ones that you want most
I think about her sometimes - I wonder if she was real
And if I ever find her I'm gonna tell her how I feel
It's just another east side story
Everybody's got a tale to tell and like a hundred guys before me
I fell under her spell
It's still the same old story - it's still the same old game
Up there on the eastside - life goes on the same
She never knew my number - never even knew my name
She climbed on board that cross-town bus I never saw her again

"Empty Spaces"


What shall we use to fill the empty spaces where waves of hunger roar?
Shall we set out across this sea of faces in search of more and more applause?

Shall we buy a new guitar?
Shall we drive a more powerful car?
Shall we work straight through the night?
Shall we get into fights
Leave the lights on
Drop bombs
Do tours of the East
Contract diseases
Bury bones
Break up homes
Send flowers by phone
Take to drink
Go to shrinks
Give up meat
Rarely sleep
Keep people as pets
Train dogs
Raise rats
Fill the attic with cash
Bury treasure
Store up leisure
But never relax at all
With our backs to the Wall?

"Fearless"


It's 3 AM, and I'm lying here next to you
What you gonna do?
Will you tell a story,
When he asks you where the hell
You've been
Or will you tell the truth?

Well, I ain't holdin' back
I know where I stand
I just wanna be with you
You gotta face the fact
Baby, I'm your man
I've gotta get it through to you
Yeah, I'm fearless

You don't have to hide
You don't have to share half your life
With some other guy
Baby, we're so strong
And it's been going on so long
It's time to make it right
Want you to spend the night

But I ain't holding back
I know where I stand
I just wanna be with you
You gotta face the fact
Baby, I'm your man
I've gotta get it through to you
And I'm fearless
Yeah, I'm fearless

I just wanna—
I just wanna be with you

I ain't holding back
I know where I stand
I just wanna be with you
Gotta face the fact
Baby, I'm your man
I've gotta get it through to you
Yeah I'm fearless

I ain't holding back
I know where I stand
I just wanna be with you
You gotta face the fact
Baby, I'm your man
I've gotta get it through to you
Yeah I'm fearless

I just wanna be with you
I've gotta get it through to you
That I'm fearless

"Finalmente Encontrei Alguem"


que me deixou de quatro
Finalmente encontrei aquele que me completa
Come?ou no cafe
Come?amos como amigos
e engra?ado como, a partir de coisas simples,
as melhores coisas acontecem

Desta vez e diferente
E e tudo por sua causa
Esta muito melhor do que sempre foi
Porque nos podemos falar bobagens
Minha frase favorita era
"Posso te ligar depois?"
e tudo que voce tinha a dizer
Para me deixar sem f?lego

e isto, oh eu finalmente encontrei alguem
Alguem para compartilhar minha vida
finalmente encontrei alguem
para ficar comigo todas as noites
Porque o que quer que eu fa?a
Simplesmente tinha que ser voce
Minha vida apenas come?ou
finalmente encontrei alguem

Deixei voce esperando?
Eu n?o tive inten??o
Eu pe?o desculpas, querida esta tudo bem
Eu esperaria para sempre so para saber que voce seria meu
voce sabe, eu adoro seu cabelo
Voce tem certeza que parece bem?
Eu adoro o jeito que voce se veste
N?o esta muito apertado?
Voce e excepcional
N?o posso esperar pelo resto da minha vida

e isto, oh eu finalmente encontrei alguem
Alguem para compartilhar minha vida
finalmente encontrei alguem
para ficar comigo todas as noites
Porque o que quer que eu fa?a
Simplesmente tinha que ser voce
Minha vida apenas come?ou
finalmente encontrei alguem

"Fits Ya Good"


Well in the air for the world today yeah.
Five O'Clock and those walls are slowly closin'.
You get home so down and worn out, thunderstruck.
Yeah fits you good,
Oh fits you good.
Yeah fits you good, Oh.

Closin' time you were bringin' me down,
Well I know it's just the way you live your life.
But you don't know like I know better,
I did all that I could. Now it

Fits you good,
Yeah fits you good.
Oh fits you good, Oh.
But you don't know what I know,
I did all that I could. Now

"Flower Grown Wild"


She was the girl in the very front row
Always waitin' after the show
She was the queen of the hollywood hills
Knew the stars, the bars, the pimps and pills
Somebody's climbin' on a greyhound tonight
Too much lipstick and her dress real tight
Looks like a woman but she ain't quite
No, not quite

She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's mother's child
She may look like a lady
But she's just a flower grown wild

They never knew you by your childhood name
But they were drawn to you like moths to a flame
Nobody saw the tears in your silk n' lace
Or the scarred little kid behind your face
Just remember when you hold her tight
What you're holding in your arms tonight
She's no angel, but that's alright
Ya that's alright

She's somebody's baby
She's somebody's mother's child
She may look like a lady
But she's just a flower grown wild

Just another little pretty thing
Another angel with a broken wing
Who fell to earth 'neath the hollywood hills
Amid the stars and the bars, the pimps and pills

Just like the girl on the movie screen
She played it up until the very last scene
The picture faded and the day was done
Went home to nothin but a loaded gun

Somebody's climbing on a greyhound tonight
A little angel flyin' out of sight
Looks like a woman but she ain't quite
No, not quite

"Flying"


If you ever feel like you're gonna fall - oh I'll be there
And if you ever feel down or feel small - oh don't despair
And if you ever feel lost or feel alone - babe c'mon home
Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go
Ya we're flying - feels just like flying
We're such a long way up - from the ground
Just u and me flying - so high 'n I'm never gonna come down
Every time you turn around and wanna run - oh come to me
When every little dream comes undone - oh don't worry
Let's just make love - all night
Let's just hold on - so tight
Let's make it last - for life
I won't let you go
Ya we're flying so high and:
We're never gonna come down:you and me

"Get Off My Back"
(from "Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron" soundtrack)



Well you think that you can take me on
You must be crazy
There ain't a single thing you've done
That's gonna faze me

Oh, but if you wanna have a go
I just wanna let you know

Get off of my back and into my game
Get out of my way and out of my brain
Get out of my face or give it your best shot
I think it's time you better face the fact
Get off of my back

You know it's all just a game that I'm playing
Don't think that you can't find a way in
That's what I'm saying

Oh, if you wanna have a go
I just wanna let you know

Oh, get off of my back and into my game
Get out of my way and out of my brain
Get out of my face or give it your best shot
I think it's time you better face the fact
Get off of my back

Oh, if you wanna have a go
I just wanna let you know

Get off, get off, get off of my back and into my game
Get out of my way and out of my brain
Get out of my face or give it your best shot
You know this train is coming off this track
Get off of my back
Yeah, get off of my back
Get off
Yeah

Oh
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off
Get off

Get off of my back
