Song: AIMLESS LADY

Aimless lady, is this your home town?
Tell me baby, tell me where you're bound.
When our eyes met, you were in the very first row.
I couldn't even guess your name, but I just had to know.

You were meant for me, would you grab your coat and flee?
You were a mystery, but you just had to be ...
An aimless lady.
Aimless lady.
Aimless lady.

Should I try, and satisfy, you lady?
Ain't no lie, now we'll get by, my baby.
If you can stand, a real good man, now lady,
Take my hand, and understand, me baby.

Take your time, you're doing fine, now lady.
You got yours, and I got mine, now baby.
Can you see, the way to be, now lady.
Stay with me, and set me free, now baby.

Aimless lady.
Aimless lady.
Aimless lady.

You're mine aimless lady.
Yeah, aimless lady.
You're mine aimless lady.
Mine, aimless lady.
Oooo ...​

Song: AIN'T GOT NOBODY

I ain't got nobody since she left me.
And I don't know why, but I'm startin' to cry.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
And I can't figure out how I'm gonna' get by.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
I don't know why, I been down all season,
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
'Cause there ain't no reason for the girl to be leavin' me.

I don't know how I'll ever get by without you.
Nobody, no ... nobody.
I'm startin' to realize my fate.
Nobody, no ... nobody.
I'm ready to make up and give another try to live with you.
Nobody, no ... nobody.
I hope for our love and us, it's not too late ... too late.
Nobody, nobody.

I ain't got nobody since she left me.
Oh, and I don't really think that she'll ever come back.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
If she don't come back, I'll have a love attack.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
And my tears are like rain, fallin' down on my face.
I ain't got nobody since she left me.
'Cause I know she's the girl that I'll never replace.​

Song: ALL THE GIRLS IN THE WORLD BEWARE!!!

I got tarter on my teeth, but I don't care.
I got dark brown stains, in my underwear.
I'm a crumb and a bum, I'm a slouch and a louse.
A crazy man who don't give a damn about his self.

All The Girls In The World Beware!!!
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!

I'm the Crazy Man.
I'm the Crazy Man.
I'm the Craa ... zzy Man.

I ain't naive, I got a line or two.
I'd even make one up, just to lay on you.
I'm rude and I'm shrewd, I'm fat and I'm bad.
I'm a man who don't give a damn 'bout who he is.

I'm the Crazy Man.
I'm the Crazy Man.
I'm the Craa ... zzy Man.

All The Girls Beware.
All The Girls Beware.
All The Girls Beware.
All The Girls Beware.
All The Girls Beware.
All The Girls Beware.
All The Girls BEWARE!!!

I'm The Crazy Man.
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!
I'm The Crazy Man.
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!
I'm The Craa ...
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!
... zzy Man.
All The Girls In The World Beware!!!

Craa ... zzy.​

Song: ALL YOU'VE GOT IS MONEY

I can't tell ya' how to run your life,
To get along with one another.
Everybody knows what's wrong and what's right,
But, you can't trust your own brother, yeah.

Everybody wants to be your friend,
All the chicks, they call you honey.
But don't trust them 'till the very end,
'Cause all they're after is your money.

All they want is all your money.
All they're after is your money.
... is your money.
All they want is,
All your money.
All they want is ...

Don't it scare ya',
When they take such good care of ya',
And all you've got is money?
Before they fool ya',
Please, let me school ya',
All you've got is money.​

Song: BAD TIME

I'm in love with the girl that I'm talking about,
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without.
I'm in love but I sure picked a bad time ...
To be in love, to be in love.

Well, let her be somebody else's queen,
I don't want to know about it.
There's too many others that know what I mean,
And, that's why I got to live without it.

I'm in love with the girl I'm talking about,
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without.
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out,
I'm in love but I must have picked a bad time ...
To be in love, a bad time to be in love,
A bad time to be in love, A bad time to be in love.

All the stories coming back to me,
From my friends and the people that I don't want to see.
The things you say I know just couldn't be true,
At least not until I hear them from you.

'Cause I still love the little girl I'm talking about,
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without.
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out,
I'm in love but I must have picked a bad time ...
To be in love, a bad time to be in love,
A bad time to be in love, a bad time to be in love.

You know that I love the little girl I'm talking about,
I'm in love with the girl I can't live without.
I'm in love but I feel like I'm wearin' it out,
I'm in love but I must have picked a bad time ...
To be in love, a bad time to be in love,
A bad time to be in love, a bad time to be in love.​

Song: BLACK LICORICE

Whooo ... wheee!

You there, comin' up the stair, the feelin' is ice-blue cold.
Shake, it's more than I can take, I'm startin' to lose control.
Watch out, what's that noise, there's somebody at the door.
It must be Black Licorice, she come back to make me cry some more.

Time, ain't on my side, I'm losin' it more each day.
Licorice, licorice.
She's got evil in her eyes, and catnip is her taste.
Licorice, licorice.
She wraps me up in her slender legs, her hot black skin to mine.
Licorice, licorice.
Ple ... ple ...please, don't touch me, oh, I know I'm dead this time.

Oh, oh, yeah ... Licorice, yeah, Black Licorice.
Licorice, licorice.
Licorice, yeah, Black Licorice.
Licorice, licorice.
Licorice, Black Licorice.
Licorice, licorice.
Licorice, yeah, Black Licorice.

Licorice.
Licorice.
Licorice.
Licorice.

Licorice, yeah, Black Licorice.
Licorice, licorice.
Licorice, yeah, Black Licorice.
Licorice, licorice.
Licorice, licorice, Black Licorice.
Licorice, licorice.
Licorice, woah, Black Licorice.​

Song: CALL YOURSELF A MAN

Everybody's laughin', loud as it can be,
But please don't point your finger, especially not at me.
'Cause I'm not tryin' to be somebody, I just do what I can,
But you just keep on laughin', call yourself a man!

I'm not lookin' for somebody, to defend my case.
I've been scorned by more than one, so stop this paper chase.
If you can't accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!

Tell me who you're foolin', is it not yourself?
Go ahead, be cool, and, I'll just be myself.
And if you can't accept me, just for what I am,
Go ahead, reject me, call yourself a man!​

Song: CAN YOU DO IT

(Open mike in the studio ...)
LSD Duckblind.
Alright. Wait a minute ...
(False start ...)
I ...
(Starting over ...)
One, ... ... Two, ... ...
One, ... Two, ...
One, Two, Three, Four.

I ... went to a dance, ah, just the other night.
Other night, other night, other night.
The dance they was doin' there, it was out of sight.
Out-a-sight, out-a-sight, out-a-sight.
I knew right away, yeah, that there was nothing to it.
Nothin' to it, nothin' to it, nothin' to it.
I could tell right away, oh boy, even I could do it.
Even I could do it, I could do it, I could do it.

Well, first step: you got to move to the left.
Second step: you got to go for yourself.
Third step: well, you're doin' alright.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

Grab yourself a partner, then you start it movin' too.
To and fro, to and fro, to and fro.
The next thing you know, hey, you want to do it some more.
Do it some more, do it some more, do it some more.
I knew right away, yeah, that there was nothing to it.
Nothin' to it, nothin' to it, nothin' to it.
I could tell right away, oh boy, even I could do it.
Even I could do it, I could do it, I could do it.

Yeah, first step: you got to move to the left.
Second step: you got to go for yourself.
Third step: well, you're doin' alright.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh!

You grab yourself a partner, then you start it movin' too.
To and fro, to and fro, to and fro.
You get out on the floor and start doin' it some more.
Do it some more, do it some more, do it some more.
I knew right away, yeah, that there was nothing to it.
Nothin' to it, nothin' to it, nothin' to it.
I could tell right away, oh boy, even I could do it.
Even I could do it, I could do it, I could do it.

I went to a dance just the other night.
Other night, other night, other night.
The dance they was doin', yeah, it was out of sight.
Out-a-sight, out-a-sight, out-a-sight.
I knew right away, yeah, there was nothing to it.
Nothin' to it, nothin' to it, nothin' to it.
I could tell right away, oh boy, even I could do it.
Even I could do it, I could do it, I could do it.

I went to the dance.
I went to the dance.​

Song: CARRY ME THROUGH

Time has come,
To start my search for tomorrow.
On and on,
There's just no end to the sorrow.
But I designed a way,
To see my life through pity.
I don't have too much to say,
And the tears won't let me be.

So,

Carry me through the hard part.
Help me find a new start.
Carry me through the hard part.

Far too long,
I've thought of all the excuses.
Try to go on,
And stay my time to an end.
Dreams in my head,
All turning dark and useless.
Help me find the hand,
That knows where I've been.

Please,

Ahhhhhh ...
Ahhhhhh ...

Carry me through ...
Carry me through ...
Carry me through ...
Carry me, carry me, carry me ...​

Song: CLOSER TO HOME/I'M YOUR CAPTAIN

Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain
I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick

I've been lost now for days uncounted
And it's months since I've seen home
Can you hear me? Can you hear me?
Or am I all alone?

If you return me to my home port
I will kiss you Mother Earth
Take me back now
Take me back now
To the port of my birth

Am I in my cabin dreaming?
Or are you really scheming
To take my ship away from me?
You'd better think about it
I just can't live without it
So please don't take my ship from me

I can feel the hand of a stranger
And it's tightening around my throat
Heaven help me
Heaven help me
Take this stranger from my boat
I'm your captain
I'm your captain
Though I'm feeling mighty sick
Everybody listen to me
And return me my ship
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I'm your captain
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah...

I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home
I'm getting closer to my home (repeat until fade).​
