MOTORMOUTH

MOTORMOUTH

Rattlin' rattlin' rattlin' round, all this talk and
making sounds
Talkin' fast, talkin' low, we called him Motormouth
He say you called, he say it's you, it's anything that
you can use
If you need it, need it now, he'll be there, Motormouth
I know you see him everywhere, in your face he's always
here
If you try to back away, he'll just say, "Hey!
Gotta a tip for you man, listen to the understanding
Now if you can't endure the life, I'm Motormouth, I'm on
your side"
He's real quick to advise, stretch the truth and tell you
lies
Never, never talkin' slow, Motormouth is on the go
Needs some paper really quick, he'll take you down his
mini slate
He's got the balls, he's got the clout, alway talkin',
Motormouth
I know you see him everywhere, in your face he's always
here
If you try to back away, he'll just say, "Hey!
Gotta a tip for you man, listen to the understanding
Now if you're down the road of life, I'm Motormouth, I'm
on your side"
Rattlin' rattlin' rattlin' round, all this talk and
making sounds
Talkin' fair, let's talk tomorrow, we called him
Motormouth

MY BABY AND ME

MY BABY AND ME

Can you play something easy
Can you play something low
Can you play something lonely
My baby might know

Can you give us one moment
One memory
For it might be the last dance
For my baby and me

Don't turn off the music
Don't set her down low
Will you play something haunting
With a far lonesome sound

One moment of pleasure
Is all that we need
For it might be the last time
For my baby and me
For it might be the last dance
For my baby and me

MY CRICKET

MY CRICKET

Yes I was just thinking
About you today
And the evening
We slept in the mountains
I cannot get trough to you
No I cannot find the words to say to you
Oh darling, you're so far away
I'm not crying
These ain't tears in my eyes
I'm so happy
Dying with laughter
If you'd only come over
I'm sure that you'd see
We're not lonesome
My cricket and me

Your picture
Reminds me
I wanted to be free
I hurt you and drove you away
If you'd just come on back over
I'm sure that you'd see
We're not lonesome
My cricket and me

MY GAL

MY GAL

Now my gal don't like them red red roses
She don't like perfume
Now my gal ain't got no fancy notions
She just likes to make love all night
And sleep all afternoon
Now my gal don't drive no Cadillac car
She's got no place to go
She's just undecided
Fake it trough the day
:The night time is the right time you know:
She can't sing and she can't dance
She can't walk too well
She can't cook and she can't sew
But boy she can sure raise hell
My my my, She sure gets high
My my my my my

NEW LOVER

NEW LOVER

She's on the grounds, that's what they say
I heard the news only yesterday
She's on the prowl like a siamese cat
I hope I'm where it's at
She's got a lover
It's a guarantee
That her new lover
It ain't me
She's got a lover
That's what I'm told
She got a lover
I'm out in the cold
She's on the grounds, that's what they say
I heard the news only yesterday
She's on the prowl like a siamese cat
I must not be where it's at
She's got a lover
Puts her in a trance
She's got a lover
I ain't got a chance
She's got a lover
It's a guarantee
That her new lover
It ain't me
She's got a lover
That's what i'm told
She got a lover
I'm out in the cold

NEW ORLEANS

NEW ORLEANS

Have you ever been down to New Orleans
Fa La, them cajun queens
Crying the blues is what they do down there
Fortune teller, he knows your name
Fortune teller, he'll tell you your game
Crying the blues, that's what they do down there
Money dripping from a willow tree
He never want me
Lazy bones, I ain't got a dime
Just biding my time
If I find a way to choose
New Orleans, where they're crying the blues
Drinking bourbon from a dixie cup
Hanging out till the sun comes up
Crying the blues is what they do down there
French women, all I need
Up and down old Bourbon Street
Crying the blues is what they do down there
If I find a way to choose
New Orleans, where they're singing the blues

NO TIME

NO TIME

No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting my groove, no time
Summer comes and summer gone
When I sing the very same song
Set apart of all the scene
How we long for all our dreams
No time for making no moves, no time
No time for hitting no grooves, no time
The clock it turns at a rapid pace
Takes us to another place
The train it goes from here to there
Just left me standing here
No time for making my moves, no time
No time for hitting my grooves, no time
I had the blues this morning I cried all day
I guess you lose the blues in the morning If you cry 'em away
No time for making my moves, oh no time
No time for hitting my grooves, no, no time

NOBODY BUT YOU

NOBODY BUT YOU

Nobody but you in my dreams at night
Nobody but you in my thoughts
Nobody but you in my dreams at night
Without you I am lost, without you I am lost
Can't seem to sleep after the sun goes down
Walking the streets is all I do
If you ever look you'll find me hanging 'round
Nobody but you, nobody but you
Without you I am lost

NOBODY KNOWS

NOBODY KNOWS

Words that we say could all be lies someday
Scattered to the wind, I don't know
Things that we trust could crumble into dust
No one can really say it ain't so
When you go over a mountain
When you're looking down the road
When you think you're going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
If our actions seem in doubt
By the way we move about
Seems like we're always on the run
Our mark is just a scratch
Like holding up a match
And trying to see the burn against the sun
When we're going over a mountain
When we're looking down the road
If you think you're going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
When all our days are gone
You can catch us with a song
Something that seemed almost right
We've known love and joy
Eternity's been our toy
Something to play with in the night
When we're going over a mountain
When we're looking down the road
If you think you're going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane
When you ask, nobody knows
When I go over my mountain
When I'm looking down the road
If I think I'm going backwards
It's all in vain, it seems insane
When I ask, nobody knows

NOWHERE TO RUN

NOWHERE TO RUN

Nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
No way to relieve
This feeling inside
You done gave me them blues
And then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Shame, oh shame
On what you do
Can't you see that
I, I, I, been feeling so blue?
Cast a spell on me
Then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
Pardon me
If I sound so sad
I can't get to you
When I want you so bad
You done gave me them blues
Then you took a ride
Left me with nowhere to run
Nowhere to hide
