"(It Wasn't God Who Made) Honky Tonk Angels"

"(It Wasn't God Who Made) Honky Tonk Angels"


As I sit here tonight, the jukebox playing
That old song about the wild, wild side of life.
As I listen to the words you are saying,
It brings memories when I was a trusting wife.

It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you say in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.

It's a shame that all the blame is on us women,
It's not true that only you, men, feel the same.
From the start most every heart that's been broken
Was because there always was a man to blame.

It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single

And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.

It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.

It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.

It wasn't god who made honky tonk angels
As you said in the words of your song.
Too many times married men think they're still single
And that's caused many a good girl to go wrong.

"20th Century Blues"

"20th Century Blues"


Why is it that civilized humanity
Can make the world so wrong?
In this hurly-burly of insanity
Our dreams cannot last long.

We've reached a deadline,
A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value
Is news value
Tomorrow.

Blues?
Twentieth century blues
Are getting me down.
Blues?
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.

Why,
If there's a god in the sky,
Why shouldn't he grin
High
Above this dreary
Twentieth century din?

In this strange illusion,
Chaos and confusion,

People seem to lose their way.
What is there to strive for,
Love or keep alive for,
Say, 'hey, hey!'
Call it a day?

Blues?
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues?
Escape those weary
Twentieth century blues.

We've reached a deadline,
A press headline,
Every sorrow.
Blues value
Is news value
Tomorrow.

Blues?
Nothing to win or to lose,
It's getting me down.
Blues?
Escape those dreary
Twentieth century
Blues.

"A Perfect Stranger"

"A Perfect Stranger"


Someone who isn't like you and to waste it all.
Someone to be around,
Someone to have me hold when the deal goes down.
Didn't I say it would happen this way in the end?
Didn't I say it would happen this way in the end?

A perfect stranger is what it seems,
A perfect stranger, a crazy dream,
A crazy dream.

Find myself a perfect stranger to do for now,
Someone who isn't like you but knows why and how.
Someone to walk away,
Someone who knows the time to leave or to stay.
Isn't it sad, baby, we never have it that way?
Isn't it sad, baby, we never have it that way?

A perfect stranger is what he seems,
A perfect stranger, a crazy dream,
A crazy dream.

Find myself a perfect stranger to take me there
Someone who isn't like you but know why and where
Soemone who's not afraid
Someone who's blind to all the promises made.

How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it this way Perfect stranger
How does it feel, baby, we shouldn't leave it...

"A Stranger On Earth"

"A Stranger On Earth"


Some fools don't know what's right from wrong,
But somehow those folks belong.
Me, I try for all I'm worth,
But I still remain a stranger on this earth.

Some people gloom, other folk cry.
Me, I have to struggle to keep alive.
Ever since the day of my birth
I've been a stranger, stranger on this earth.

I try to be what all folks should,
Forgetting the bad and doing good.

But no matter how I try,
My troubles always multiply.

Now I've been doing the best I can
Ever since life began.
Some day when I prove my worth
I won't be a stranger on earth.

Now I've been living the best I can
Ever since my life began.
The day's gonna come when I prove my worth
And I won't be no stranger,
No, I won't be a stranger
On this earth.

"A Waste Of Time"

"A Waste Of Time"


Another waste of time
Another sort of step along the way
A waste of time
A waste but an interest in delay
Was it all of a waste
Or was it fun
People fly far away

A waste of time
Almost not too clear a lesson not to play
Exercice perhaps in sensual decay
Hard to love and to see how the land lay
How to love, what to say

Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say

A waste of time
At least some company along the way
Great visions
Perhaps too fast too bright but anyway
And I'll be what you be
You wanna say
You think you wanna say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say

How to love and to see how the land lay
How to laugh, what to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing left to say
Gliding across thin ice
With nothing, nothing left to say

"After The Ceasefire"

"After The Ceasefire"


After the ceasefire that they swore would last
She had the bright idea "to hell with the past!"
That's where love lay bleeding licking at its wounds
The times were never changing sticking to their guns
She thought she really meant it, that's the honest truth
She felt it in her marrow, she felt it in her boots
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.

The man she married, he was something else
He adored the chaos, smashing all the delft
The man she married, he was something else
He had the sudden notion it's time to call a truth
It's time to lead a quiet life for the love of jeeze
Let's sit down together and engage in talks of peace
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.

He was irish catholic, she had english blood
They met in a good restaurant, they gave the secret knot
She ordered fish and lentils, he the kidney stew
She played with bold impulses, wine turned his lips blue

They left in separate taxis to the same address
In case someone was watching, and there they did confess
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.

It was all the others' fault, they thought at any rate
After the ceasefire to put an end to hate
She was reaching for her knife, he a fork and spoon,
They sat about devouring the poison of the moon
Shared a fatal cigarette neither one would light
Their breath was flame enough, nobody said goodnight
After the ceasefire, after the ceasefire.

After the ceasefire that they swore would last
They had the strange idea of living in the past
That's where love lies bleeding licking at its wounds
The times are never changing sticking to their guns
They sit about devouring the poison of the moon
The times were never singing the same tune
After the ceasefire
After the ceasefire
After the ceasefire
After the ceasefire

"All I Wanna Do In Life"


You've been right and I've been wrong,
I've been weak and you've been strong.
You've been good and I've been bad,
Think I've had enough of that.

'cause all I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.

I loved the days, you loved the night,
I loved to love, you loved to fight.
I drive to you, you're far away,
It gets harder every day.

All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.

Wish you could be a friend of mine,
Wish you could learn to play with time.
You say I dream my life away??
If I do, well that's ok.

All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.

All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All I wanna in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.

All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.
All I wanna do in life
Is to love somebody with all my might.

"Anger"

"Anger"


Family

We're at a stand-still! what she's been sending,
It's not any money a man can build a house with.
She's as giddy as a cyclone!
All the profits go for her pleasure!
And we're at a stand-still, for what she's been sending
Is not any money a man can build a house with.
Won't she settle down to business?
Won't she ever learn to save something?
For what the feather-brain is sending is not any kind of money
A man can build a little house with.

Anna I

We're making progress.
We have come to los angeles
And every door is open here to welcome extras.
We only need a bit of practice
Avoiding possible faux pas
And what can stop us going straight to the top then?

Family

O lord, look down upon our daughter,

Show her the way that leads the good to thy reward.

Anna I

If you take offense at injustice,
Mister big will show he's offended;
If a curse or a blow can enrage you so
Your usefulness here is ended.
Then mind what the good book tells us
When it says: "resist not evil."
Unforgiving anger is from the devil.

It took time to teach my sister that wrath would not do
In los angeles, the third big town we came to.
Where her open disapproval of injustice
Was so widely disapproved.
I forever told her: "practice self-control, Anna,
For you know how much it costs you if you don't."
And she understood and answered:

Anna II

Yes, I know, Anna.
