"Sunshine"

"Sunshine"


Sunshine, every single day
Helps to light my way
And darlin', right before my eyes
It don't come as no surprise
That it's easy
Easy lovin' you

And baby,'til you came along
There was always something wrong
Around me
There was emptiness of course
But it's alright
And it's easy
Easy lovin' you

And sunshine, having you around
You're the light I never found
And darlin',every minute you're away
But it's brighter
And it's easy
Easy lovin' you

"Take The Rap"

"Take The Rap"


You were lookin' at your mother
So you went and told your father
Daddy don't say nothin' he's got plenty in his past
Changed your way of thinkin'
So you started drinkin'
And you got arrested for drivin' blind

Take the rap, take the rap
It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap

It was lined up on the mirror
And you just started shavin'
Didn't know what you were smokin'
Cigarette came from a friend
Judge said you're delinquent
You don't want to think it
So you put your head down, started servin' time

Take the rap, take the rap
It's gonna break your back, take the rap

Tried to talk but I got nothin' to prove--why you want to?
Tried to run they took away my shoes--why you want to?
Why you want me to take the rap?

Take the rap, take the rap
It's gonna break your back, take the rap

Well your damned if iron bars'll
Keep you rottin' in a prison
Hell is lookin' better 'cause you'll
Never get to heaven
See your chance and take it
Sure you're gonna make it
You're prepared to take it 'cause you're never gonna...

Take the rap, take the rap
It's gonna break your back, it's a fact, take the rap

"Talk Talk"

"Talk Talk"


Driftin' in the streetlight
Dancin' in the twilight zone
Dreamin' of a spotlight
Don't wanna go back home
Joe and his buddies are hangin' around
Bad reputation all over the town
All they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk
Lucy and Debbie and Donna and Joyce
Bad reputation the same as the boys
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk
Standin' on the sidewalk
Starin' at the storefront signs
Waitin' at the bus stop, truck stop
The hurry up and wait stop
They don't mind
Tony and Billy and Johnny and Sam
Struttin' and showin' they don't give a damn
All they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk
Cindy and Sunny and Sally and Sue
Thinkin' they're somethin', they're better than you
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk
They're lookin' forward and movin' backwards fast
They gotta have a future
'Cos sure as hell ain't got no past
But in the meantime
They're lookin' forward and movin' backwards fast
They gotta have a future
'Cos sure as hell they got no past
They always have a good time
They never get a wake up call
They're hangin' out at maisies and daisies
They always love the crazies
That ain't all
Tony and Billy and Johnny and Sam
Struttin' and showin' they don't give a damn
But all they ever gonna do
Is talk, talk, talk, talk
Cindy and Sunny and Sally and Sue
Thinkin' they're somethin', they're better than you
All they ever wanna do
Is walk, walk, walk, walk

"Talkin' 'Bout Love"

"Talkin' 'Bout Love"


You got lines guaranteed to please
You got stories you got boyfriends to tease
Money to burn
You got everythin' you need
Clever girl, never girl
Talkin' 'bout love
Rio de Janeiro on your daddy's card
Party invitations you don't find it hard
Lovers to burn
Matches in your book
Cruiser girl, user girl
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
Talkin' 'bout you and me
Talkin' 'bout love, talkin' 'bout love
That's what you get
When your heart's on fire for me
That's what you get
When your love's for hire
Penthouse suite
Dance and never stop
What's the matter
Don't 'cha wanna be on top
Nothin' to learn
Everythin' to lose
Lover girl, cover girl.

"Talkin' To One Of The Boys"

"Talkin' To One Of The Boys"


Everyone says connection is easy
I look at my score, experience none
Tossed a coin when I was seventeen
I got the ice, you got the cream
All that you see is stranger than fiction
All that you do defies all description
And you worry about your lack of existence

Then by all means go crazy

Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys

One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin' would be alright.

Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah
His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean
With mass consultation, a blind congregation
His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene
Correspondence, the back of a sin rag
If this is deliverence, life is a drag
Searchin' salvation, your sightlines get hazy
You got it right,go crazy.

Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys
Talkin' to one of the boys
Makin' alot of noise
Talkin' to one of the boys

One of the boys told me what was,
Going on last night
One of the boys said if I tried it,
Everythin' would be alright.
Or maybe you'll go crazy.

"Teenage Nervous Breakdown"

"Teenage Nervous Breakdown"


Well, some contend that this rock'n'roll
Is bad for the body, bad for the soul
Bad for the heart, bad for the mind
Bad for the deaf and bad for the blind
It makes some men crazy and then they talk like fools
It makes some men crazy and then they start to drool

Unscrupulous operators could confuse
Could exploit and deceive
The conditional reflex theories
Change the probabilities, I said it's a
Crass and raucous crackass place
With a Pavlov on the human race
It's a terrible illness, a terrible case
And usually permanent when it takes place

It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown
It's a teenage nervous breakdown

"Telegram"

"Telegram"


Sent a telegram today
Tomorrow you'll be on your way
Could be Memphis or L.A.
No questions just get out and play.
Wake up call to catch the plane
You know you're on the road again
Someone's bangin' in your head
Why did you get so late to bed.
Runnin' late and feelin' bad
That breakfast was the worst you've had
Make the gate no time to spare
Before you know you're in the air.
747 flies us high
Much higher than we're meant to be
You're six miles high but feelin' down
You wish you could be on the ground.
Find your bags and walk for miles
The customs man is waitin' there
Immigration cause delay
You wonder if you'll ever play.
Limousine is standin' by
We get inside and drive a while
F.M. Station soundin' good
And gettin' better every mile.
Hotel lobby looks the same
With all the same old girls in town
Press reception takes the day
With all the same old things to say
Need your picture smile this way
And will you tell me what you play
So you wanna be a rock'n'roll star
Just listen now to what I say
Get yourself an electric guitar
and take some time and learn to play.
Your roadies call to say OK
The soundcheck can get underway
Soundcheckover, had some fun
A waste of time for everyone
Time has come to start the show
It's boogie time for everyone
Check guitars before you go
They're close enough for rock n roll
The lights are low,
The crowd is high,much higher than
They're meant to be
We take the stage and start to play
The lights come up for all to see
Here we are again, singin' the same old songs
Lookin for someone who will sing along
Here we are again playin' the same old scenes
Lookin'for someone who will share our dreams
Here we are again facing the same old sights
Lookin' for someone who will share our nights

"The Ballad Of Hollis Brown"

"The Ballad Of Hollis Brown"


Hollis Brown he lived, on the outside of town
Hollis Brown he lived, on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
In his cabin broken down
He looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mile
He looked for work and money, and he walked a ragged mile
Your children are so hungry
That they don't know how to smile
Your baby's eyes look crazy and they're tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy and they're tuggin' at your sleeve
You walk the floor and you wonder why
With every breath you breathe
The rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mare
The rats have got your flour, bad blood it got your mare
Is there anyone that knows
Is there anyone that cares
You prayed to the Lord above to please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above to please send you a friend
Your empty pockets tell you
That you ain't got no friend
Your baby's a cryin' louder now it's poundin' on your brain
Your baby's a cryin' louder now it's poundin' on your brain
Your wife's screams are a stabbin' you
Like dirty, drivin' rain
Your grass is turnin' black and there's no water in your well
Your grass is turnin' black and there's no water in your well
You spent your last lone dollar
On them seven shotgun shells
Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls
Way out in the wilderness a cold coyote calls
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That's hangin' on the wall
Your brain it is a bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand
Your brain it is a bleedin' and your legs can't seem to stand
Your eyes fix on the shotgun
That you're holdin' in your hand
There's seven breezes blowin' around the cabin door
There's seven breezes blowin' all around the cabin door
Seven shots ring out
Like the oceans pounding roar
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
There's seven people dead on a South Dakota farm
Somewhere in the distance
There's seven new people born.

"The Gathering"

"The Gathering"


In your head you can hear your heart
Sweat runs cold it's all about to start
Life or death only seconds away
For king and country, there's a game to play.
The hawks will fly, the doves will cry
The old wise ones stay at home
The young ones die
Come to the gathering
Have fun with a gun
Come to the gathering
Your day in the sun.
In your soul you can feel the fear
In your mind all your demons appear
Could this be your glory day
Or just another number when you're blown away?
The hawks will fly, the doves will cry
The old wise ones stay at home
The young ones die
Come to the gathering
Have fun with a gun
Come to the gathering
Your day in the sun.
Thank the ones who bear the scar
Widow weaves and a silver star
All the ones who won't meet dad
Wonder why they turned out so bad
All the kids who won the day
Just got bombed by the folks they saved
And all the people where you're from
Don't want you there you've been gone too long.
In your head you can hear your heart
Sweat runs cold it's all about to start
Life or death only seconds away
For king and country, there's a game to play.
The hawks will fly, the doves will cry
The old wise ones stay at home
The young ones die
Welcome to the gathering
Have fun with a gun
Welcome to the gathering
Your day in the sun.

Let me in your life
Open up the door
Let me in your heart
Give me the key
You're the only one
I'll ever want
Show me the way
Give me the key

That knows what I need
Take me in your arms
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key

Give me the key
I'm over my head
Too far gone
You know how I feel
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
Give me the key
