"Let It Roll"

"Let It Roll"

I am the king of your darkest night
I am the prince of your fear
I will wrap your dreams into sandstorms
You'd better know this before you come near

There is no end
to what I've become now
Way past the cold sweat of losing control
I load it up
I put it down
I let it roll

I am the priest
of your bad luck
Long gone the blood has run free
Scar upon scar until the pain doesn't know
What's worth hurting inside
What is left of me

What you think
is brand new
I just threw it your way
What you think is too big
Is too small
I've forgotten much more than
You think that you'll ever know
There is no height that is too far to fall
You'd better go home lock up your soul
Or sit down and take it
Don't try to fake it
Load it up, load it down, let it roll
Let it roll, let it roll?.

Load it up, put
it down, let it roll

"Let Me In"

"Let Me In"

There's a smile around your doorway
And all your words are shining bright
When you laugh
Its pretty colours
Lighting up the darkest night
It's a dangerous addiction
Everybody wanting more
When your devastating eyes look up
I don't know nothing no more
Come on let me in

Oh I'm helpless make me better
If i don't try how can I win
Come on and let me in

I wanna see the morning light
Move around your face
This ain't about 'good looking'
It's a different kind of grace
Oh half of this strange magic
Is because you don't know
What's behind this doorway
Everybody wants to know
Come on and let me in

Oh I'm helpless make me better
If i don't try how can I win
Come on and let me in

I know there are so many
That laugh around your dance
But I got to ask the question
Just to get me half a chance
If you tell me that I'm crazy

Oh don't worry it's OK
One chance in a zillion
I was glad to know you anyway
Come on and let me in

"Let's Do It"

"Let's Do It"

We can't do it for the money,
They don't do cash no more
We can't do it because we do it so well
'Ain't nobody left to keep the score
They changed the rules
Made us look like fools
Send us lies from way above
Lets do it
Hear what I say
Lets do it
'Cos we're busted anyway
Let's do it, lets do it for the love

You've still got
your left hook
I've still got my jab
They're so dumb they never see it coming
We were the best they ever had
They slapped our faces with a belt of lies
Now you know what I'm thinking of
Let's do it... hear what I say
Let's do it... 'cos we're busted any way
Let's do it? lets do it for the love

Let's do it anyway?

You take the right, I'll take the left?
Let's do it.. let's do it for the love?

"Let's Start Again"

"Let's Start Again"

We've been together
For oh so long
Don't care whatever
Who's right or wrong
I've been your best friend
You ain't no fool
Like brother and sister
We broke all the rules

It would be crazy
For this to end
Let's think it over
Let's start again
Ain't nobody gonna to be as close as me and you

No-one remembers
It been so long
So many tough times
They've been and gone
Who cares what they say
Cos they don't know Only one way to go

It would be crazy
For this to end
Let's think it over
Let's start again
Ain't nobody gonna to be as close as me and you

Let's think it over
Let's start again

It would be crazy
For this to end
Let's think it over

"Light Of Hope"

"Light Of Hope"

This is the garden that I know
Ten thousand summers wait me here
You lead and I will follow
Your heart is mine tomorrow
Into your womb I fade away

And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And melting on the face of this light of hope
Shine on, light of hope
Light of hope

And while she laughs
Your pride is turning into snow
And dancing on the graves of what you thought you used to know
And in this garden I will burn my callous robes
And forever love my darling
Light of hope

"Little Blonde Plaits"

"Little Blonde Plaits"

Sweet September, I remember
Eyes of August deepest blue
While the lazy town was sleeping
Strangest love that I ever knew
Feel the wind blow, see the shadows
Kiss the breeze of a sudden shore
Of my life's loves and fascinations
The only one who left me wanting more
Little blonde plaits
Drink to you love, drink to me love
Sun burned feet on a dusty track
Evening waves that turned in twilight
Caught forever those little blonde plaits

"Lone Rider"

"Lone Rider"

I'm the lone rider and I sure lost mt way
Yeah, I'm the lone rider and I sure lost my way

Gonna see me cry every time I see the break of day

I'll be on my lonesome way

Oh they call me the breaker
'cos I break everything i see
They call me the breaker
but that ain't how it should be
I tell you true, it's only what been done to me
Oh, lone rider, yeah, lone rider

I gotta be on my way

Every time I see the break of day
I got to be on my way ...
Lone rider ...

"Lone Star Boogie"

"Lone Star Boogie"

It was a freezing night, the wind began to howl
And a cold street wind came
Slashing through this northern town
They tried so hard to find somewhere to hide
To get some kind of shelter from their fear inside
He said, i know a place where we can go
She said, come on now tell me

Cos i need to know

Lone star boogie, boogie my blues away

I see a texas sky in electric blue
I see a big old raging truck come slammining through
He said, close your eyes
Feel the heat
I'll put some kind of Texas
Into your empty streets

It's a lone star boogie, boogie my blues away

I still remember the place we used to go
Dreaming dreams of Texas
As we pushed hard through the snow
You told the stories of the snow chain trucks that flew
we laughed cos I only saw them in a Texas
morning blue

It's a lone star boogie

"Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road"

"Long Is The Time, Hard Is The Road"

Big old snake o' red tail lights
Lookin' for a drain
Pretty red, like diamond bright
become your ball and chain

If you ever reach the other side,
it will never be this way
They tie you down with your own high hopes,
you better listen what I say

Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load

Fat cat screamin' up above
'cause he don't get no second chance
He's passing down his reckless fear
he kick your chains and make you dance

Dance around his daydream
'till he gets to fly away
you find a dagger in your back
you better listen what I say

Long is the time, and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load

Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Hard is the road

[solo]

Oh, long is the time and hard is the road
Everybody lookin' for a place
to put down their heavy load

Long is the time, and hard is the road.

"Looking For A Rainbow"

"Looking For A Rainbow"

Well we come down to the valley
Yea we're looking for the honey
I see a rainbow
I say that's the land of milk and honey

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow

Well we come down to the valley
Got our babies in our arms
Yea we're Maggie's little children
And we're looking for Maggie's farm

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow

Well we come down to the valley
We ain't far away no more
You can't leave us dying this time
'Cos we're all around your door

Me and my cousin
Me and my brother
My little sister too
Come looking for a rainbow
Yea we're looking for a rainbow
