"Troubles And Hassles"

"Troubles And Hassles"



Troubles, hassles, I know you too well
Always in trouble
I smell problems, crucial
My cross gets another nail
Baby it's ordeals, between meals
Shackles, unseen, torture in 3d detail
I'm dead alive

You're in for troubles and hassles
Once you're playing the marbles
You're in for paying your dues now, anyhow
I'm sorry, worried
Growing up and breaking down, just ain't no fun
Here come, bad reviews, that's my news
How come it's not a happy song
For all the guys sing along
In frustration, wondering
Where on earth can you run
Once you're being fried well done

Owned by troubles and hassles
Once you're playing the marbles
In for being accused, refused

What's that troubles
You just complain, complain
Maybe you've forgotten
Before sun there's always rain
What's that hassles
It sounds so mondaine
Let's raise glasses
And toast to luck once again
For all your moods in minor
Are an everybody's thing
Beautiful begins with be
And it's inside every being

Owned by troubles and hassles
When you're playing the marbles
In for being abused, refused

What's that troubles
You just complain, complain
Maybe you've forgotten
Before sun there's always rain
What's that hassles
It sounds so mondaine
Let's raise glasses
And toast to luck once again
For all your moods in minor
Are an everybody's thing
Beautiful begins with be
And it's inside every being

"Turn The Page"

"Turn The Page"



On a long and lonesome highway, east of Omaha
You can listen to the engine
Moanin' out it's one note song
You can think about the woman
Or the girl you knew the night before

But your thoughts will soon be wondering
The way they always do
When your ridin' sixteen hours
And there's nothing there to do
And you don't feel much like ridin'
You just wish the trip was through

Here I am, on the road again
Here I am, on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
Here I go, turn the page

Well you walk into a restaurant
All strung out from the road
And you feel the eyes upon you
As you're shakin' off the cold
You pretend it doesn't bother you
But you just want to explode

Most times you can't hear 'em talk
Other times you can
It's the same old cliché's
Is it woman, is it man
And you always seem outnumbered
So you don't dare make a stand

Here I am, on the road again
Here I am, on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
Here I go, turn the page

Out there in the spotlight
You're a million miles away
Every ounce of energy
You try to give away
As the sweat pours out your body
Like the music that you play

Later in the evening
As you lie awake in bed
With the echoes from the amplifiers
Ringin' in your head
You smoke the day's last cigarette
Remembering what she said

Here I am, on the road again
Here I am, on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
Here I go, turn the page

Here I am, on the road again
Here I am, on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
Here I go, here I go, here I go

Here I am, on the road again
Here I am, on the stage
Here I go, playin' star again
Here I go, here I go, turn the page
Turn the page, turn the page, turn the page

"Turn The World Around"

"Turn The World Around"



I believe that all around
We're all waiting for a sound
That will break the barriers down
And will make us all feel better
After all the madness' gone
After all I feel it's coming
There's a slogan on the wall
Like a finger on a trigger
There's a truth behind it all
I believe it's getting bigger
But it's all up to you, and it's all up to me
Yeah it's all up to me

Your sweet talking babe, won't turn the world around
Meet me underground, turn the world around
Climb a mountain yeah, cry me an ocean too
Turn the world around, turn the world around
There's no problem babe, you're right, I'm wrong
Let's strike a bargain, 'cause together we're strong

All your sense, all your love
Can't stop the fire from above
Don't you know, when I go
You're gonna go too
Let's turn the world around

Darlin' daughter, I've been told
Gettin' younger, turnin' old
Hides a moment, caught in time
In a mirror that's gone blind
I can see inside my minds' eye
We may get the future right
There's a slogan on the wall
Like a finger on a trigger
There's a truth behind it all
Everyday it's getting bigger
But it's all up to you
And it's all up to me

Don't say impossible, when it's possible
We're responsible, let's turn the world around
Only one light to follow, only one dream to share
Let's strike a bargain, it's gonna get us there

All your sense, all your love................

"Twilight Zone"

"Twilight Zone"



(somewhere in a lonely hotel room,
There's a guy starting to realize
That eternal fate has turned its back on him,
It's two a.m...........)

It's two a.m., the fear has gone
I'm sittin' here waitin', the gun still warm
Maybe my connection is tired of takin' chances
Yeah there's a storm on the loose, sirens in my head
I'm wrapped up in silence, all circuits are dead
I cannot decode, my whole life spins into a frenzy

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know,
When the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

I'm falling down a spiral, destination unknown
A double-crossed messenger, all alone
I can't get no connection, can't get through, where are you
Well the night weighs heavy on his guilty mind
This far from the borderline
And when the hit man comes
He knows damn well he has been cheated

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse, feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved under moon and star
Where am I to go, now that I've gone too far
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone
Soon you will come to know, when the bullet hits the bone

"U-Turn Time"

"U-Turn Time"



U-turn, I know the signs
U-turn, I know when it's U-turn time
U-turn, turn the kind
U-turn, I'm gonna leave it all behind

You and me could have solved it
Could have solved it easily
First you adore me, now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies

So, help me
Hand me your keys and I'll take your car
I'll take your car and leave you in peace

U-turn, modern tonight
U-burn, burn, but it's not my kind of light
U-turn, out on the sight
U-turn, I don't know what it is
U-turn time

You and me could have solved it
Could have solved it easily
First you adore me, now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies
And help me,
Hand me your keys and I'll take your car
I'll take your car and leave you in peace

I'll leave you in peace
You'll be happy, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah yeah

"Violins"

"Violins"



And the classic way is still on play
Violins bitter sweet
String quartet, pass around the hat
You broke my heart, don't you hurt my head

After Violet and me, saw the Paganini movie
We took a walk around the block to digest
The grand finale
A street-music man with shades and cane
Played the fiddler insane
For a case load of spare change
And the smiles of people passing
Between morning paper sins and waves of violins
It said they found him dead
His bow had made him bad friends

Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Hooked on high speed energy
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Cats gut pumpin' adrenalin
Warm blooded, cold hearted violins
See 'm live tonight in the city

And the classic way, still on play
Violins bitter sweet
String quartet, pass around the hat
You broke my heart, don't you hurt my head
I've gotta find a little peace of mind
Cause the real thing is a mean thing

I guess nobody knew, the Barcelona Zoo
Has an albino monkey, that can trigger the mood
And provoke monkey motions
So when the shit flies high
Through the Barcelona sky
The crowd stands by, a cheering

Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Hooked on high speed energy
Cold blooded, warm hearted violin
Cats gut pumpin' adrenalin
Warm blooded, cold hearted violins
See them lives tonight in the cityI can hear 'm playin'
Kind a light 'n neat
All the gals 're swayin'
The guys are in for meat
It's all cute 'n rosy
Till the needle hits a crack
Listen to that screech repeatin'
Watch the flags go slack
Listen to that screech repeatin'
Watch the flags go slack

"Wanted By Women"

"Wanted By Women"



I feel the blood kickin’ like syrup
Mud slide in my vein
Another tired race horse
Without a steerer man it may
Give me one last hangover
Before it’s closing time
Don’t look for any tea no more
Just put a bucket of your best wine
Later whip up cold another back
Of the young buck who needs tamin’
If you think I’m lyin’ again
I split my faith to tell the truth
At the wrong moment

I used to be wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
Used to be wanted by women
Used to be wanted
But not by you
Wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
Used to be wanted by women
Used to be haunted all day by you

There’s a path I discovered
After cuttin’ all the rains
We had so many memories that could say to everyone
To watch the sun go down again
Chewin’ on a four-leaf clover
That my last lucky time
After all it’s just make believe
Ride and hide against the nick of time
So you can sing me one last lullaby
Make me believe that I am dreamin’
I hang my head and I regret
That I’ll never get to see the sparkle in your eyes again

I used to be wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
Used to be wanted by women
Used to be wanted
But not by you
Wanted by women
Used to be loved and forgiven
Used to be wanted by women
Used to be haunted all day by you

"Weekend Love"

"Weekend Love"



The sooner it will be the better
Gonna have to see you right away
It's been a long time since the day I met her
I can't handle being without her one more day
Gonna get the feeling that I'm going insane
Feel so stupid using these old cliché's
You better hurry up Baby, I ain't lying
We're down to nothing but a waste of time
Still remember everything she said
Make no promises and make no debts
All I want is just a one day weekend love

She sips her wine without a flinching
She's in control of it all the way
Looks so good, pretending that she's listening
By the time I fall asleep, she's gone away
She's got no mercy on a jealous heart
And she said it all right from the start
Make no promises and make no debts
But I love that lady, I got to confess
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love
I want more than just a one day weekend love
All she wants is just my one day weekend love

"What Do I Know About Love"

"What Do I Know About Love"



Out on the street and your house is on fire
I’m like a dog with an endless desire
I had a drink and maybe more then once again
Where does that leave me? Outside, I guess

The beauty and the beast
Say yes or no
Inside a dream
Never let go
Been here before
Been there before
What do I know
And nothin’ about love

I’m like a shit
And no compass, no loter
You can count on me always the same
We’ll see
And the difference between
I don’t want any other
Is like a beauty
The beauty and the beast

The beauty and the beast
Say yes or no
Inside my dream
Never let you go
Been here before
Been there before
Why is it I know
Nothin’ about love?

Is it a secret
Or something between lovers
I’m here discoverin’ the mystery I miss
Is it I want you more than anything another?
Another sudden chance
And change of luck

The beauty and the beast
Say yes or no
Inside my dream
Never let go
Been here before
Been there before
Why is it I know
Nothin’ about love?

What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
About love

What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
About love

What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
What do I know?
About love

"When I Was Young"

"When I Was Young"



The rooms were so much colder then
My father was a soldier then
And times were very hard
When I was young, when I was young
I smoked my first cigarette at ten
And for girls I had a bad yen
And I had quite a gall
When I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more pain but they laughed much louder yeah
When I was young, when I was young

I met my first love at thirteen
She was brown and I was pretty green
And I learned quite a lot
When I was young, when I was young

When I was young it was more important
They'd more pain but they laughed much louder yeah
When I was young, when I was young

My faith was so much stronger then
I believed in fellow man
And I was so much older then
When I was young, when I was young
When I was young, when I was young
When I was young, when I was young
