"Keep On Dancing"

"Keep On Dancing"


I got a friend who loves the music
He got a red hot groove
But he don't use it
I get so afraid, he's gonna lose it
If you gotta gift - man, don't abuse it

Keep on dancing

The experts say they really care
They don't have a clue what's out there
The teachers tell the children not to swear
And the drunken lawyes
Leaves the kid
To pop something in
To kill the fear... it's not fair

Keep on dancing

I'm a frightened Dad, worried sick
Hear what I say?
I could put something in here
You know what rhymes with it
The whole world seems to end
In c.k.e.d
You ain't fooling me anyway

Keep on dancing

Are you ready here comes
Steve Gadd

Keep on dancing

See em run for the books, cos
They just don't get it
They throw it at me
But I've already read it
Before they speak,
Some-one already said it

We can't be friends
Cos Karl Marx don't rhyme
With Mercedez-Benz
I need credit
You can shove it
You know why?
'Cos I love it!

Keep on dancing

"King Of The Beach"

"King Of The Beach"


Let your fighting scars heal in the sun
of a bright windy day
Let your cold blades sleep in the sand
till it's rusted away

Washed each night in the waves
while you sleep away each memory
And you wake to find yourself
a new king to be

Away from the dark
moving into the light
King of the shadows
gives up on the fight

He kicks of them shoes
throws them away
There's nobody here now
except this salty blue day

Out of sight
Out of reach
He's king of the beach

Whatever I was
well I'm not that now
I tell you because
it may help you somehow

So kick of them shoes
and throw them away
Cause there's nobody here now
except this salty blue day

"KKK Blues"

"KKK Blues"


I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I don't know where I'm going
All I know is I got to move away
I got a fear inside me
Call it the KKK

Well they beat up my woman
Found her lying in a field of hay
Well they beat up my woman
Found her lying in a field of hay
They sent a posse out
But the posse
They all in the KKK

Well there's a mess upon the ground there
My brother hanging from a tree
Well there's a mess upon the ground there
My brother hanging from a tree
I got to move away, so fast
Cos the KKK gonna get me

"La Passione (Film Theme)"

"La Passione (Film Theme)"


I stand alone
Without a care
Open the door
But no-one's there
The lonely night
My only friend
Love's wrongs are right
I can't defend

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

And now I know
What I've become
It haunts me so
But I'll go on and on
I know the pain inside
Is the price you pay to ride
Into the brightest flame
Never the same again

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

You dare to dream
Take the chance and go
Desire has taken hold
Now the passion haunts you so

La Passione
La Passione
La Passione
La Passione

"Lampiou"

"Lampiou"


Dark is the morning
On this fateful day
Lord knows I tried to live
The way the good Lord say
But they cheated on me
With their book of lies
Now they're staring all the way through me
With their careless coward eyes
Now they leave me
With a choice of two
To lose their or do
What Lampiou do

What turns a good man
To the sword and gun?
When you still his dignity
Leave him nowhere to run
I hear the Devil
I hear his voice
If I pull the trigger
Is it really out of choice?
You say yes because you can walk away
Without your clothes on such a cold bleak day
God say they only get to sit on high
Because their stairways are all built on fear and lies
So if you tell me there's no other way
Maybe I ask the Devil
Maybe listen what he say

In Lampiou's way there is no return
There's no way back
And all your bridges you must burn
The toughest of decisions
Between the trigger and the knife
Does the balance of God's own justice
Need the taking of a life
Now they leave me
With a choice of two
To lose my way or do
What Lampiou do
What Lampiou do

"Last Call"

"Last Call"


Last place on my list tonight
Last drink gonna be alright
Seems like I'm headed
For some big fall
This is my last call

Last call for drink
Last call for a cigarette
Not least of all
Your face I can't forget
I lost
You won
And you took it all
So this is my last call

I can't remember how this night began
Boy we really hit the town
I think the plan was to forget about you
But before i put you down
One more drink
'Til you
I cant recall
This is my last call

One more drink
'Til you I can't recall
How I'd love to think
I could forget it all
Mr bartender please hear me out
Cos this is my last call
This is my last call

"Last Drink"

"Last Drink"


Wherever I roam
Wherever I go
They'll always be
A smile that I know
At the calling of time
And the last one is here
My lips kiss the glass
And I feel your soul near
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
My last drink is always
Always for you

There'll always be time
Time for "the one"
They'll always be reasons
Before the last one is gone
So my lips the glass
For the good times we knew
And my last drink is always
Always for you

A glass that is full
Is how I see me and you
So I'll smile while drink it
Let tomorrow shine through
My lips kiss the glass
To the good times we knew
And my last drink is always
Always for you

"Last Open Road"

"Last Open Road"


How fast can I run?
How far can I go?
These are the questions,
The young want to know
I met her in Brooklyn,
She was coming from a place
I said "where are you going to"?
She said "where have you been"?

'Cos I'm trapped in here,
Set me free
I know your world let me see
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road

I know there is so much past
this place
I see it smile on your jagged,
ragged face
Something tells me,
something strong
There's a world I've heard of,
So before it's gone
Take me down that last open road
Take me down that last open road

"Last Train"

"Last Train"


This is the last train
Ain't no other chance
This is the last move
Ain't no other dance

It don't know about your sorrows
And less about your pain
It's just the last train

Nobody knows where it's going
Nobody knows where it's been
It carries all your bad luck
It carries all your pain

You know you can't stay here
Go through it all again
Better jump on the last train

This ain't the last train home
Or where that might have been
All you know is you can't be here
For a fight that you can't win

You know it's coming to ya
It's only you that's left to blame
Wherever it's going better jump on the last train

Oh, the ice wind of fear
Feel it moving all around you
Feel it coming near took a lifetime
But now it's found you

The acid end it's coming
It's screaming out your name
Oh, you better jump on the last train

Now your skin is going to bleed
All around your poisoned chains
You've used up every little dirty trick
Till nothing else remains

All that's coming down on you
Is a mess of tears and pain
Ooh, you better get on that last train

You got everything to lose
You got nothing to gain
The only thing for sure
Ooh, this is the last train

Yeah, you better jump on the last train
Yeah, yeah, you better jump on the last train
You better jump on the last train

"Let It Loose"

"Let It Loose"


There's no sense in waiting
So lets make a start
I got a poisoned finger
On a broken heart
Don't have time for reasons
Or feel inclined to quiz
The past is over
That's just the way it is

Start it up
Start it up
And let it loose on me
Let it loose on me

We could sit forever
Or we could take all night
Of the whys and where fores
Of the wrongs and rights
Crazy situation, anyhow
Turning on frustration
So tell me why not now

Let it loose on me

Start it up
Start it up
And let it loose on me
Let it loose on me
