"At The Hop"

"At The Hop"



All dressed up and we got somewhere to go
We're all dressed up in our Sunday clothes
Me and my baby
See us walking down the road
We're going to the hop
Down at the hall you'll find us dancing

I'm dancing right across the floor
Me and my baby
See the people
Hear them shout for more
Me and my baby
See us doing all those fancy steps
We're dancing at the hop
This dance is the coolest yet

One boy he grabs a foreign girl
And he never even asked her name
He wants a dance
And he wants it now
And he can dance
Let me show you how

"Baby Blue Eyes"

"Baby Blue Eyes"



Those little imperfections
Are what I love about you
The scar on your arms
In the shape of a heart
Baby blue eyes
And the smile of an angel
Melt the snow from any mountain
And make a madman sane
He won’t ever complain

In the everglades
In the backyard lit by fairy lights
With garlands let us walk
By the water's edge let's dance
Let’s dance, let's dance, let's dance, let's dance
You lead, I'll follow
And if I stumble
Catch me
Before I fall

I know where we’ve come from
I know the road we’ve travelled to get here
We’ve seen some tragedies along the way
When folks want to exchange places
Just walk a few steps in these shoes
Sometimes they hurt cost they’re too tight
It ain’t always easy being me
It ain’t always easy being me

Those little imperfections
Are what I love about you
The scar on your arms
In the shape of a heart
Baby blue eyes
And the smile of an angel
Melt the snow from any mountain
And make a madman sane
He won’t ever complain

"Baby I"

"Baby I"



Remember when you took me
Out last night
It was a clear night
The nearest moon
I'd ever seen
Filled the sky
Threw light on the city

Remember when you took me
To some party
With your arms around my waist
Planning my weekends
Maybe planning
To change my name
I'm in love
And I got to let you know

Baby I
Want to be
In your loving arms again
Baby I
Want to be
In your loving arms again
Feel you near to me
Baby, ah can't you see
So much
Romance in the air
And all I really want
Is to be with you

"Back On The Road"

"Back On The Road"



Ah, oh oh...

I've been up
I've been down
I've been every which way round
I was lost in a sea of self pity

I fooled myself
That I was fine
Someone who liked my company
I played host
I entertained Mr. Misery

And Mr. Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Three musketeers
Sorry misery and me

Ah oh oh..
Hey I know
Where I would rather be

I may not get to heaven
You put me
Back on the road
Back on the road
I may not get to heaven
Ask myself
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road

And Mr. Sorrow
He'd come along sometimes
I never liked his face
And here we'd sit
Musketeers
Sorrow
Misery
Me

Ah oh oh..
Guess where I'd rather be

I may not get to heaven
But with you
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
I'm back on the road
Again

"Back To The Night"

"Back To The Night"



Leaves burnt by the sun
And there's no wind blowing
See the motor cars
With a smiling face at the wheel
I'm watching the little girls
With their young men at their heels
It's a sunny day
But get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Skyline

Sweet smiling rose
The night life perfume
See the romeos
Dancing under the moon light
I said the night
Night was made for romance
You keep your sunny day
Just get me back to the night
'Cause I love that life
Back to the night
Like those skinny burlesque queens
I love a neon
Love a neon
Skyline

Got the card sharks hustling
At the break of the moon
Gay night walkers
Old blues buskers
All night long there's just so much to do
Just get me back to the night
Oh I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Love a neon
Love that neon skyline

Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
I love that life
Back to the night
Like a skinny burlesque queen
I love a neon
Love a neon
Love that neon skyline

Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
I love that life
I love that life
I love that life

Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night
Love that life
Love that life
Just get me back to the night
Back to the night
Back to the night

"Bad Habits"

"Bad Habits"



You swear too much
You drink too many
You smoke like a burning
Haystack honey

You got bad habits
Bad habits

You chase all the women
Coloured and white
You steal from your mother
Do you think that that's right

You got bad habits
Bad habits

You walk on the grass
The sign he say don't
You say you'll do things
That you know you won't
You own a car
For which you didn't pay
But you earned my love
It's here to stay

Oh oh oh oh
Every lie a masterpiece
You're gifted
But I'm young
So I can take it

All the policemen know you
Your face
Name
Where you were last night
And at what time you came

It's those bad habits
Bad habits

"Barefoot And Pregnant"

"Barefoot And Pregnant"



So many ladies love you
With the innocence of a child
Child who believes in God
You keep 'em in luxury
But it's a luxury in the dark

You walk around
With a smile upon your face
But there's something
That you don't know
You're luck's run out
And it's a time for you to go

Everybody told me I was crazy
To try to tame such a wild one
Baby, baby, baby, baby, baby
I got myself into this thing
Like I never knew I could and now
I gotta get away just as fast as I can
I got myself into this thing
And I'll find a way out

You gave me babies
To you that proves your love
Tie my hands with jewels
Barefoot and pregnant you kept me
You sought to
Hide me from the truth

But your lady's gone and bought some shoes
And she's stepping out on the town
Your lady took herself in hand
And she's spreading herself around

I wanted your love
But not at any price
You're just the hurting kind
Say you want me for yourself
But your deeds deny it

"Beyond The Blue"

"Beyond The Blue"



You put me in touch
With all my senses
You showed me the way

I've never been close
To such feelings
I did not beg
But you cured me of
My broken heart

I'll never forget
The day that we met
Hmm so sweet
Like honey from the bee

You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you stole my heart

Up up and above
Beyond the blue
Way beyond the stars
Someone looked at me
And thought of you
Reached out and touched us so soft
Like gentle snow

I'll never forget
The day that we met
You are so sweet
You're like honey from the bee

You put yourself square
To my defenses
Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you
And stole my my heart

Tore down the walls
Stole my heart

Tore down the walls
Walked right in
And you stole my heart

"Blessed"

"Blessed"



Life is hard
Work is dirty
Friends plead poverty
Fame and fortune
Keeps its own time
So don't wait up

But if you can feel the sun
If you can feel the rain
Life can't be bad
If you've got food to eat
And all your dreams to dream
Life can't be bad
If you can walk away
And fight another day
Life can't be that bad

For all the things that I can do
How could I complain
I've got no broken wings
I've got a heart that sings
And I feel blessed

"Body To Dust"

"Body To Dust"



I thought I had a lot
I opened my eyes at eight
It's past one
And I never said good morning
Hold on there
Wait
Don't run away I'm only talking
Don't move a finger for one kiss

You can take all my pretty moonlight
That's money to me
Take charge of my reasoning
Hold on
Take a hold of me

Make the body beautiful
A huge old barrel
Rust my car if you must
Just don't go giving too much of yourself
To everyone
I swear
Turn my body into dust

Just show me a clean face
Clean as can be
Either keep your hands to yourself
Or stretch out and give them to me
Need much more from you
Than twenty four hours
So much I don't have to rush
Just don't go promoting yourself to everybody
I'll sell my soul for your trust
Sell my soul for your trust
Sell my soul

There's so much that I wanna do
All I need is time
No cost to you
If you just go 'bout your business
And leave me alone to unwind
I need a
Need a whole lotta time
A long long time
Leave me alone to unwind

No cost to you
If you just go 'bout your business
All I need is more time
No cost to you
If you just go 'bout your business

There's so much I wanna do
Just give me more time
Much more than twenty four hours
And leave me alone
Leave me alone to unwind

Just show me a clean face
Clean as can be
Just keep your hands to yourself
Or stretch out and give them to me
Need much more from you
Than twenty four hours
So much I don't have to rush
Just don't go promoting yourself to everybody
Rather turn my body into dust
Rather turn my body into dust
Turn my body into dust
Rather turn my body into dust
