"Outside Looking In"

"Outside Looking In"


I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…

When it's late at night,
They blow out the light,
And although they might be sleein'.
If they hear a sound,
I may be around,
And they know I could be creepin', (creepin' creepin')

They must be aware,
If they think I'm there, it's a very scary feelin'!
Lyin' in their beds,
Running through their heads,
Is one thought-what is he stealin'?

I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I like it this way.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
I see the games that they play.
I'm on the outside lookin' in,
But I don't really care.
Here in the outside lookin' in,
'Long as I get my share.
You know that I'll take my share…

I can hear then tell
I'm a hound of hell,
As they get the smell of danger.
As I'm coming near
I can taste their fear
Of the dark and deadly stranger.

They know who I am
I don't give a damn,
I could lead ev'ry lamb to the slaughter.
So be on your guard
For my calling card,
And be sure, to lock up your daughters.

They keep us outside lookin' in,
My sister and me.
And if we're outside lookin' in,
That's the way it will be.

We're on the outside lookin' in,
But we don't really care.
Here on the outside lookin' in,
'Long as we get our share,
You know that we'll take our share.

We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in,
We're on the outside lookin' in.

"Past The Point Of Rescue"

"Past The Point Of Rescue"


Last night I dreamed you were back again
Larger than life again, holding me tight again
Placing those same kisses on my brow
Sweeter than ever now;
Lord, I remember how
Couldn’t get enough of kissing;
do you know how much you’re missing
No, you don’t, but I do
The days like a slow train trickle by
And even the words that I write refuse to fly
All I can hear is your song haunting me
Can’t get the melody out of my head, you see
Distractions are amusing; do you know how much you’re losing
No, you don’t, but I do
But I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do
I swore I’d never fall like this again
Fools like me never win;
I came to my knees again
I can’t close the door on likelihood
Things might be just as good;
always knew they would
Gotta let your love invite me;
girl, do you think it might be just as good
No, you don’t, but I do
Oh, but I do, and I wonder if I’m past the point of rescue
Is no word from you at all the best that you can do
I never meant to push or shove you;
do you know how much I love you
No, you don’t, but I do
I do
I do
I do

"Perfect"

"Perfect"


I don't want half-hearted love affairs
I need someone who really cares.
Life is too short to play silly games
I've promised myself I won't do that again.

It's got to be perfect,
It's got to be worth it. Yeah!
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be Mmmm!
Perfect.

Young hearts are foolish they make such mistakes
They're much too eager to give their love away.
Well I have been foolish too many times
But now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right.

It's got to be perfect,
It's got to be worth it. Yeah!
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be Mmmm!
Perfect.

Young hearts are foolish, they make such mistakes
They’re much too eager to give their love away
I have been foolish too many times
But I’m determined to get it right

It's got to be perfect
It's got to be worth it. Yeah!
Too many people take second best
But I won't take anything less
It's got to be Yeah!

Perfect.
It's got to be Yeah!
Perfect.
It's got to be Oooo!
Perfect.

"Puppy Love"

"Puppy Love"


And they called it puppy love
Oh, I guess they'll never know
How a young heart really feels
And why I love her so

And they called it puppy love
Just because we're in our teens
Tell them all, please tell them it isn't fair
To take away my only dream

I cry each night, my tears for you
My tears are all in vain
I'll hope and I'll pray that maybe someday
You'll be back, in my arms, once again

Someone, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I, oh how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love

Someone, help me, help me, help me please
Is the answer up above
How can I, oh how can I tell them
This is not a puppy love

Not a puppy love

"Raggle Taggle Gypsy"

"Raggle Taggle Gypsy"


There were three old gypsies came to our hall door
They came brave and boldly-o
One sang high and the other sang low
And the Lady sang the raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was upstairs and downstairs the lady went
Put on her suit of leather-o
T'was a cry all around the door
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

It was late at night when the lord came in
Enquiring for his lady-o
The servant girl replied to her lord
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Oh then saddle for me and my milk white steed
My big horse is not speedy-o
I will ride and I'll seek my bride
She's away wi' the raggle taggle gypsy-o

Then he rode east and he rode west
He rode north and south also
But when he went to the open fields
It was there that he spied his lady-o

"Red Rose Café"

"Red Rose Café"


They come from the farms and the factories too
And they all soon forget who they are.
The cares of today are soon washed away
As they sit at a stool by the bar.
The girl with green eyes in the Rolling Stones shirt
Doesn't look like she works on the land.
The man at the end, he's a very good friend
Of a man who sells cars second hand.

Down at the Red Rose Café in the Harbour
There by the port just outside Amsterdam.
Everyone shares in the songs and the laughter.
Everyone there is so happy to be there.

The salesmen relax with a few pints of beer
As they try not to speak about trade.
The poet won't write any verses tonight.
He may sing a sweet serenade.
So pull up a chair and forget about life.
It's a good thing to do now and then
And if you like it here I have an idea
Tomorrow let's all meet again.

"Remember Me (Recuerdame)"

"Remember Me (Recuerdame)"


The moonlight dances among the trees
The campfire glows in the autumn breeze
And I am lost in my thoughts of you
Remember me, recuerda me

A comrade strums on a sad guitar
My mind is drifting to where you are
I'm holding you as I used to do
Remember me, recuerda me, mi amor!

So long ago, so far away, each night I pray
"Volverán los días pasados"
I promise you that come what may
Those days will stay ever in my memory

In all this world I could never find,
The love that I had to leave behind
But duty calls, so whate'er befalls
Remember me, recuerda me, mi amor

God only knows what tomorrow brings
You're in my heart so my spirit sings
And I'll be strong just as long as you remember me,
Recuerda me, mi amor!

"Ride On"

"Ride On"


Sure you ride the finest horse I've ever seen
Standing 16' one or two, with eyes wild and green
You ride the horse so well, hands light to the touch
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you,
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

When you ride into the night, without a trace behind
Run you claw along my gut, one last time
I turn to face an empty space, where you used to lie
I look for the spark that lights the night
Through a teardrop in your eye

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
Ride on, see you, I could never go with you no
matter how I wanted to

I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to
I could never go with you no matter how I wanted to

"Rise Again"

"Rise Again"


The waves roll on
Over the water
And the ocean cries
We look to
Our sons and daughters
To explain our lives

As if a child
Could tell us why
That as sure as the sunrise
As sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again
In the faces of our children
We rise again
In the voices of our song
We rise again
Like the waves out on the ocean
And then, we rise again

When the light grows dark
With the forces of creation
Across the stormy sky
We look to
Reincarnation
To explain our lives

As if a child
Could tell us why
That as sure as the sunrise
As sure as the sea
As sure as the wind in the trees

We rise again
In the faces of our children
We rise again
In the voices of our song
We rise again
Like the waves out on the ocean
And then, we rise again
...
