"God Gave Me An Angel"

"God Gave Me An Angel"

I was never born with the face of a movie star
I was never blessed with an easy load along the way
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say

God gave me an angel with a smiling face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty every day
But god gave me an angel anyway

Talk of being good and what became of me
Do I hide my head in shame and turn away
I have taken the wrong turning
So many times I can't remember
But one thing I have for sure
I can always smile and say

But God gave me an angel with a smiling face
God gave me an angel this I know
My churches are all empty and I'm guilty every day
But god gave me an angel anyway

"God's Great Banana Skin"

"God's Great Banana Skin"

Go down my road running just as fast as I can
Nobody knows which is the better way
But when that man in the sky points his finger at you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you

God's great banana skin
Don't you laugh at nobody
You'll let the bad luck in
God's great banana skin
It's the way that it gets you
With every day good luck comes in the strangest of ways
Just keep your head down don't listen what your ego will say
'Cos when that man in the sky points his finger at you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you

God's great banana skin
Don't you laugh at nobody
You'll let the bad luck in
God's great banana skin
It's the way that it gets you

God's great banana skin
God's great banana skin

When that man in the sky points his finger at you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you
Don't you ever think no-one's better than you

God's great banana skin
Gonna get you
God's great banana skin

And I'm going to see what I can do

"Gonna Buy A Hat"

"Gonna Buy A Hat"

She talks like thunder
She really lets you know
She keep changing the rules
And leave you nowhere to go
She bore you rigid with the party line
She's so far left she's gonna get left behind

He wants six pretty white spots on each side of the dice
He wants it all to be equal but he needs to throw twice
Now there's a guy in the corner with a smiling gaze
He turns to me and says
I'm gonna buy a hat
'Cos I think it's gonna rain
Got caught out coming here
Ain't gonna get caught again
I'm gonna buy a big one
Like that Mr Gorbachov
And when it's raining all this crap
Oh my hat will keep it off

Now take a look at all them leaders
Desperation in their eyes
The tight faces smiles that cannot hide it
They know no more than you or I

So I'm gonna buy a hat
'Cos here they come again
And when the start to blah-blah
It's you and me that gets the rain

Do you know, I feel so good,
So good today
I won't let nothing get in my way

Good morning. Good morning

"Good News"

"Good News"

He's watching the girls on the dance floor
He's watching the light in her hair
He's praying that love's gonna come soon
There's a sweet smell of hope in the air
Just another boy from a steel town
With the flash of the mill in his eye
He don't move for hip cool or fashion
But he knows where the deepest one lies
And he'd love to be warm
And he'd love to love you
So give him some good news

All the cards on the table
But don't look that man in the eye
Say a prayer for the dealer
And kiss your old life goodbye
Go to church light a candle
But don't lose your head for God's sake
Why is my heart beating faster
Oh why do my hands start to shake
'Cos he'd love to be warm
And he'd love to love you
So give him some good news

"Goodbye Little Columbus"

"Goodbye Little Columbus"

The plane is waiting, you must to go
'Goodbye I'm gonna miss you'
And all the things you say at a leaving
Ah just turn your head and walk away

Goodbye little Columbus
Goodbye, I'll see you one day
Goodbye little Columbus
Travelling, just travelling

That certain moment, the final call
And that desperate search for 'C'est la vie'
Oh what you'd give to hear of a slight delay
Ah just turn your head and walk away
Walk away, just walk away

Goodbye little Columbus
Goodbye, I'll see you one day
Goodbye little Columbus
Travelling, just travelling
You've made up your mind
And you've got to go

"Gospel Trail"

"Gospel Trail"

You got lovers
Hiding at night
There's a certain kind of fear in her eyes
Cos the preacher say what she doing ain't right
He see his bread of life
Quickly turning stale
All along
This gospel trail

I got my brother and my best friend
Choking on your book of lies
I saw you kill the truth with your eyes
Made everybody look like a fool
I saw the good Lord's words
Written on a bomb of nails
All along, all along
This gospel trail

I see blood run like a river
Cos of all your mistakes
Your song of compassion
Turned out to be just a fake
So now the innocent on both sides
They're gonna scream and wail
All along, oh all along, along
This gospel trail

"Got To Be Moving"

"Got To Be Moving"

Got to keep moving
Something driving me on
I got to keep moving
Tomorrow I’ll be long gone
Hey little girl
You know I love you
There’s nobody else I place above you
But when the night time come around
I got to go
There’s no way I can still be around, yeah
Oh I got to be moving

Got to be moving
I got to get away
Oh I got to keep moving
Oh I just can’t stay
Somebody told me
I got it real bad
But I need to settle down
I never have
When I hear the sound of a train in the night
Or a big aeroplane with its red tail lights
Gotta to be moving
I gotta to be moving

Hey little girl
You know I love you
There’s nobody else I place above you
But when the night time come around
No way I can still be around
I got to be moving

"GTO Blues"

"GTO Blues"

Oh when I die and I get to heaven
There is one way I will know
There'll be a tall good looking woman
Standing by a GTO

I read the books, I heard the story
Being a fixture for long ago
I travelled lot in time forever
She's standing by a GTO

So when I'm down and feeling lonely
I close my eyes and I let it go
I see that tall good looking woman
She is standing by the GTO yeah
Standing by the GTO yeah yeah...
