"Alley Katz"

"Alley Katz"



Put on your feline finery "Da' Katz" are meeting down below
If you feel like rocking with a Tabby, Tom, and Calico
It'll dirty up your pedigree
But we guarantee a good time
Wee got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, Come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Allen Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow, meow
Felix is a puss in boots
He really likes to scratch and bite
Sylvester is unnatural
The Kitty is a catamite
He will dirty up your pedigree
He will guarantee a good time
He got some catnip that'll set you free
Come on, Come on, paws on the line
Alley Katz, Alley Katz come out and play
Yowlin' and howlin' a social ballet
Out in the alley it's strictly low brow
Alley Katz, Alley Katz make me meow, meow, meow

"Alone Too Long"

"Alone Too Long"



Just a little boy lost looking for a lamb in the all night city
Living in his lonely limousine
And though he never has to worry
He's the only one and only one he's ever gonna need
Absolutely he's in definite need

Of a woman, child, and some better kind of love when the hot town's hurt him
And he knows how happy he could be
But he don't know if he can make it
Between the money and another lonely night
But now the time has come
Got to stay or run
Now the time has come

Oh maybe we've been Alone Too Long
And you don't want to be lonely

Another pretty face another body ache still awake three-thirty
Dial another number -- No one home
So he wastes his time with TV
And he wonders if he lost the only one
And wonders if he's free
Too afraid to see
How alone he could be

Oh maybe we've been Alone Too Long
And you don't want to be lonely

"Art Of Heartbreak"

"Art Of Heartbreak"



Try to ignore the twisted side
We kiss and we hiss at the same time
Don't you know some things just don't blow away
You've been this way before, but the cuts just seem to hurt me more
Could be a reason for the difference...

You've been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Practing
The art of heartbreak

Anticipating what she's aching for
I'm being edgy leave her wanting more
Anyone might think we'd rather be alone
Yeah, she's been cut before by sharp things I've been saying so long
I can't believe the way she takes it

I've been practicing
The art of heartbreak
Practicing
The art of heartbreak

Why do we make it hard, been hitting back and forth for so long
What are we aiming at, there's no score in love
I bet a million bucks she knows but won't let up on me, so
I've just decided to stop

Practicing the art of heartbreak
Practicing
The art of heartbreak
We've been practicing

"At Tension"

"At Tension"



I'd like to join the army
Don't want to join the war
I'd take my place in line hell (hell)
Never go AWOL
We keep on marching forward
Never will retreat
Don't let the enemy inside you
That's the beginning of defeat
All good soldiers stand (to arms)
All good soldiers try (so hard)
To follow orders never asking why
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move
Yeah

Now a shakey finger on the trigger
Ready aim to please
Now how can such a little bullet
Drop big soldier to his knees
But there's no warning only waiting
When a Strangelove drops the bomb
All this fighting it can hurt you
But its the little wounds that do the harm
All good soldiers stand (to arms)
One good solider tries (so hard)
He follows orders never questioning why
Never questioning why
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
Standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move yeah

All good soldiers stand (to arms)
All good soldiers try (so hard)
To follow orders never asking why
They never asking why
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
I'm standing at (tension)
I'm standing at tension
(At tension)
Standing at (tension)
So ill at ease with you
Afraid to make a move

"August Day"

"August Day"



I saw the sun, though it didn't shine
Gave up no shadows, gave out no way to know the time
No wind to blow the silver leaves
The drone of clever talk just stopped
The air hangs out, hesitates to carry a thought
Away from me
And the sky colored heavy gray
August Day
Stir the dust and carve a rhyme
Barefoot blues watch and wait till suppertime
Will a smile break through
Distant thunder and the slow dance
Static lightning sky daring me to take a chance
And say that I love you
And the sky colored heavy gray
August Day

He's back together again
Yeah ev'ryone is glad that he's together again
Just like the old days, old days, old days

You know he's still got the moves
You know the grooves still there
Just like the old days old days, old days

Back together again, back together again singing the same old story
Back together again, back together again
The old songs never end
Gives you something to believe in

Well the kids are all grown up
But their records are still alive

He's back riding high
The charts are full of love, he's on ev'rybody's dial

"Bad Habits And Infections"

"Bad Habits And Infections"



Come to me like I'm the doctor
Say you need someone to talk ta'
You want advice go ask your mother
One bad turn deserves another
'Cause I've been cursed with your infection
Makin' my head hurt makin' my eyes burn
You've taken me in the wrong direction
And left me there with no protection

Bad Habits can be cured by cutting
them out
Infections can be cured by cutting
them out

Maybe you'll find a friend up in the
Rainbow room
If you can dodge the drinks that
they've been throwing at you
Anyway, your boyfriend should be
coming home soon
Then you can hide your life away

Bad Habits can be cured by cutting
them out
Infections can be cured by cutting
them out

Come to me like I'm the doctor
Come to me like I'm the doctor
Come to me like I'm the doctor
I am the doctor
I am the doctor

"Bank On Your Love"

"Bank On Your Love"



One lonely eye faces the Queen
How far she goes remains to be seen
She can be hard and she knows it
She plays her heart and doesn't show it
Cold night cold like me
No love lost betting on the King
And it's a hard unknown
Before the hand is showing
The con is out when the eagle flies
If you know the hand is quicker than the eye

Can I bank on your love

Hands down left high and dry
Games in the night are quicker than the eye
That ain't love or affection
The dealer changed direction
Bets are high and I'm losing enough
Won't anybody play fair with my love
'Cause it's hard not knowing
And my heart is showing
The King is out and the eagle flies
Don't you know the hand is quicker than the eye

Can I bank on your love

"Beanie G. And The Rose Tattoo"

"Beanie G. And The Rose Tattoo"



Come here talkin', like a schoolboy fool
Cute and rotten
Ooh, Beanie G. and your Rose Tattoo
Keep on rockin' like the Geator say (keep on)
White clogs knockin'
Oh, oh, oh, Beanie G. wonder can you play?
Don't be no punk, don't be no candy ass
Don't flunk the test, then expect to pass
Don't understand, and yet afraid to ask
So why you wanna waste your time?
Rose guitar bleeding on your arm
Day-glo farm boy
Oh, Beanie G. with your Rose Tattoo
Oh, beanie G.
Just tell me, where you learnt to Rock 'n' Roll
You got your licks, but you forgot your soul
You play real hot, but you leave me cold
So why do you wanna, waste my time?
Listen G. Boy, better get in line, G.Boy
And it's a long one, 'cause the gigs are hard to find
Beanie G. And The Rose Tattoo
Oh, Beanie G. (G. Boy)
Oh, Beanie G. (Keep on)
Oh, Beanie G. (G. Boy).

"Bebop / Drop"

"Bebop / Drop"



3 A.M.
I don't believe I hear the telephone ring
I wanna sleep
you wanna shake that thang
I wanna dream
you wanna dance all night

If I knew
if I knew you and better we could fight about it
You just wanna Bebob but I just wanna Drop
Don't call me
because your boyfriend isn't home tonight
Don't pretend
cause out of mind is only out of sight
It's much too late
look and see how quick the candle burns
Go away
go away and let my dreams return
You just wanna Bebop but I just wanna Drop
