"Miles Away From Nowhere"

"Miles Away From Nowhere"



I got, thunder in the wheel, burning up the road
Thinkin' 'bout the cargo and my precious load
I'm just a homesick wreck, beat up by the dashboard light
About a million miles away, no matter how hard I try

You will always keep staying on my mind
You will always keep playing with my mind

Miles away from nowhere, miles away from nowhere
Miles away from nowhere
Miles from everywhere, anywhere, somewhere
Miles away from nowhere

Thunder in the wheel, burning up the road
Thinkin' 'bout the cargo and my precious load
Where am I supposed to go
When I get there I'll let you know

You will always keep staying on my mind
You will always keep playing with my mind

Miles away from nowhere, miles away from nowhere
Miles away from nowhere
Miles from everywhere, anywhere, somewhere
Miles away from nowhere

Here she comes across the river
Guess it's time to deliver
And there's no one who can stop these tires
Ten thousand horse power

Miles away.......

"Minute By Minute"

"Minute By Minute"



The first time I laid my eyes on you
You happened to glance the other way
But by the look of your lazy smile
I knew I had a chance some way
I knew there would be a role for me
To play in a wild wild fantasy

Now I'm takin' it day by day
Cause you got my head spinnin' round
Minute by minute
I'm countin' the seconds down
Until the time comes
For me to hold you in my arms
Minute by minute
Until we become one

Here's a man with a hole in his heart
Dyin' to get it fixed
And complications from the start
Make it an operation of high risk
I need an operation, doctor, doctor
Don't cut out my wild, wild fantasy

Now I'm takin' it day by day
Cause you got my head spinnin' round
Minute by minute
I'm countin' the seconds down
Until the time comes
For me to hold you in my arms
Minute by minute
Until we become one

"Mission Impossible"

"Mission Impossible"



He drove his car into the city
The engine hot, the heat was on
He realized, he'd come to a crossroad
And there's only one way he knows
They're not gonna get me, they're not gonna get me
And I'm never gonna be betrayed no more

He was back and someone had to pay
For the time that he had done
When diamonds shine on pretty ladies
Stool-pigeon is always around
They're not gonna get me, they're not gonna get me
And I'm never gonna be betrayed no more

Step into my boots and see if you can make it
Take my chain and see if you can break it, break it

Mission impossible
Chased by a law invincible
I don't mind, I don't care
I'm used to fighting my way back
Unaware of a mission impossible

It was a fact that he was smarter than the others
Still controlled his part of town
It was an eye for an eye in the shadows
Looking down the barrel of a gun

"Mitch Mover"

"Mitch Mover"



Hello, this is a song
'bout a guy called Mitch Mover
A strange little character
That's what he is
Keeps collecting butterflies and bees
And things like that, you know

Early in the morning when the sun goes up
Mitch Mover awakes and he drinks a cup
Of tea and he takes his botanical case
On his back, oh boy, what a chase

Butterflies and bees, they can't stand him anymore

There he goes again
Good luck and I'll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets
He admires a boy

At night he selects all the insects
And carefully he puts pins through their heads
Peering through the gloom, it seems as if his room
Was a biological museum

Butterflies and bees, they won't fly anymore

There he goes again
Good luck and I'll see you again
Tonight when he is tired of chasing hornets
He admires a boy

Mitch Mover, Mitch Mover, Mitch Mover

"Mood Indigo"

"Mood Indigo"



A taste of breath, a kiss sweeter than honey
Your eyes a misty dream, a million miles away
And in my ear, you whisper my name
Just like in some old news flash
From light years ago

Van Dyke's on the slide trombone
Through the smoke of the party room
Your teeth like the Ivory Coast
Start singin' my favorite song
And it happen' to be mood indigo

Mood indigo I just go weak,
When I hear Mood indigo
Could last for weeks,
Until I decide to wake up
Before I break up

Holdin' on to my heart,
Smokin' them down hills
In a room number thirteen,
Tryin' to stretch my luck again
Down the corridor, y
Our footsteps echo against the wall
My date with mystery,
My girl from Sin City
Tonight I'm gonna sacrifice,
For the first time in my life
Make it all come back to me,
Like an old forgotten dream

"Motorbikin'"

"Motorbikin'"



Motorbikin', motorbikin', motorbikin', motorcycling
Movin' on the queens' highway
Lookin' like a streak of lightnin'
If you gotta go, go, gotta go motorbike ridin'
Listen to me and I'll tell you no lie
Too fast to live, too young to die
I bought a new machine and then they say
It takes your breath away

Motorbikin', motorbikin', motorbikin', motorcycling
Movin' on the queens' highway
Lookin' like a streak of lightnin'
Baby won't you come with me
I'll take you where you wanna be

Here I am again, I'm dressed in black
I got my baby, she's ridin' up back
We're doin' about ninety-five
I said: Oh, it's good to be alive

Motorbikin', motorbikin', motorbikin', motorcycling
Movin' on the queens' highway
Lookin' like a streak of lightnin'
If you gotta go, go, gotta go motorbike ridin'

"Move Over"

"Move Over"



You say that it's over babe
You say that it's over now
But still you hang around me, come on
Won't you move over

You know that I need a woman
You know that I need a girl
But when I ask you to, you just tell me
Leave me be again

Please don't you do it to me babe, no
Please don't you do it to me
You can take this love I offer, or let me be

I ain't quite ready for walkin'
I ain't quite ready for walkin'
What's a poor boy gonna do without
Without this thing I'm in

Ah, make up your mind
Darlin' you're playin' a fool
Make up your mind
You're playin' a fool
No need to play my lovin', woman
Every one is lovin' me

You say that it's over babe
You say that it's over now
But still you hang around me, come on
Won't you move over

You know that I need a woman
You know that I need a girl
But when I ask you to, you just tell me
Leave me be again

Please don't you do it to me babe, no
Please don't you do it to me
You can take this love I offer
Or let me be your girl, oh let me be you're girl

I want you to let me be
Honey you're teasing me
Girl you're playin' with my heart, babe
You're toying

"Movin' Down Life"

"Movin' Down Life"



Fast Flo paints her nails and she looks bored
So far nothing scored
Where she comes from, people take it nice and slow
That's all it takes, you know

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin', movin' down life

Truck Stop Ben thinks everybody else is a fool
That's why he dropped out of school
He drops them bennies and he sticks to the white line
I say he's doing fine

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin' movin' down life

No one knows where the river starts or where it goes
But jumping in and leaving my clothes

Movin' down life, one day or another
Movin' down life. movin' with each other
Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other

"Murdock 9-6182"

"Murdock 9-6182"



Do you remember how she was looking
The day she left me on my own
Oh lord, you know how she could rock me
And you know she won't be coming home

Do you remember how she was looking
The first time we saw her nude
Cause nobody had ever seen her peach-skin
Well I just want her back, oh I just want her back

So, I hang on, hang on, hang on now
Call her number any day, any hour
Mixed up in a facer and I'm feeling blue
While I'm calling Murdock 9-6182

Na, na, na....na, na, na

Do you remember, I called you Queen Eliza
And then you smiled and ran out the door
Came back when I was sitting on the sofa
And gave me the things where I was longing for

Do you remember how you were looking
The day I came home and found out the score
The well known reason it ain't no use to mention
Well I just want you back, oh I just want you back

So, I hang on, hang on, hang on now
Call your number, any day, any hour
Mixed up in a facer and I'm feeling blue
While I'm calling Murdock 9-6182

"My Baby Ruby"

"My Baby Ruby"



I sit here and I'm drinking
Drinking away her name
But God knows if it will help
Until now she still remains
And every glass and every hour
Deeper I will sink
So wondering if it will help
Come on buddy, buy me a drink

Think about my baby, think about her right now
Come on give me the bottle, the bill don't talk about it now
Think about my baby, I think about her right now
The moment I knew she was living, I had to get her anyhow

My baby Ruby, she's groovy
And every time I call her name
She looks at the sky, for me no eye, oh yeah
