"Most Wanted Man In The World"

"Most Wanted Man In The World"



I'm not good looking, well built or tall
I'm not a movie star up on somebody's wall
But when I lie next to my girl
I'm the most wanted man in the world

When she calls my name in a voice soft and low
Then she calls it again, something inside of me goes
When she starts moving her hand
I'm the most wanted man in the land
I'm the most wanted man in the world

Arrest me now, take me I'm yours! I'm guilty of loving you
Hold me down, I won't fight it, I surrender!

And when I'm working miles from home
I spend all my money on the long distance telephone
When she says 'I wish you were here'
I'm the most wanted man anywhere
I'm the most wanted man in the world

"My Way Is To You"

"My Way Is To You"



Tall trees are trembling
Dark clouds arc bearing down
God's tiny creatures are all
Going crazy on the ground
My way is, my way is to you

Your gates were guarded I had to swing around
All the dogs are silent now
I can hear the softest sounds
My way is, my way is to you

Many times I've stumbled Many times I've fallen down But always I had
The dream of your dear ground
My way is, my way is to you

"New Found Year"

"New Found Year"



Come with me, love, bring your wine, love
Set it by the bed
First we’ll clink and then we’ll drink
To toast the year that’s fled
Outside all the horns are blaring
The midnight bells have rung
On this our first new year and love so young

Slip your shoes off, let me help your dress
Down to the floor
There’s no treasure on this earth now
Not inside this door
Every weather, heat and chills, and spring and fall and rain
And on the air all spice again

Oh my India, my new found land
My America, come take my hand

January, February, we will seek our ground
March and April, May and June and July, dig deeper down
August and September, sweet October – that’s when we met
November and December – I know I’ll never forget

Oh my India, my new found land
My America, I’m your new man
And now, my love, come prove our love
Before, behind, between, above
Below!

Oh my India, my new found land
My America, come take my hand
Oh my India, my brave new land
My America, for you I stand
Oh my India, my new found land
My America, I’m your new man

"Night After Night"

"Night After Night"



Weekends when I go out walking
Friends stop and they say hello
They ask me how things are going
I put on a show, a very good show
I tell them that I'm doing fine now
They smile and then they go on their way
It's so easy to put on a brave face
In the bright light of day before stars hold sway

But I still miss you
Whenever I turn out the light
I still miss you
Night after night after night after night

They say that time is a healer
And all bad things come to an end
Well sometimes I almost believe it
Then darkness comes in and I fall again
I wish I could sleep like a baby
I wish I could sink like a stone
I wish that I could not remember
Your sweet loving moan when we were alone

And I still miss you
Whenever I turn out the light
I still miss you
Night after night after night after night

"Night Watchman"

"Night Watchman"



Night watchman walking the yard
Night watchman all on his own
Night watchman under the stars
Night watchman guarding the zone

Night watchman swinging his torch
As he watches over his brood
Night watchman checking the corners
Humming a tune

Everyone’s sleeping
As he goes creeping
Everyone’s sleeping but him

Night watchman far from his pillow
Night watchman dreaming of meadows

And beaches drowning in sunlight

Everyone’s sleeping
As he goes creeping
Everyone’s sleeping but him

Night watchman, night watchman

King of the night time
King of the night time

"No You"

"No You"



I woke up with all my clothes on
Cigarette smoke in my hair
Unglued my eyes and saw a dirty room
Spilling ashtray by my bed
Empty bottle on the chair
No one else was there

I was ready in two minutes flat
Just washed my face and combed my hair
I had an eight-twenty-five train to catch
I was out of there
Flying through the front door
Then I hit the air!
No you! No you! No you! No you!
No you, no you, no you!

I was sucked into the subway
Like an ant into a hole
I stood in the crowded carriage
Shoulder to shoulder
The wheels began to roll
A tattoo in my soul

I do not lack good companions
They pick me up when I'm feeling down
We go to the track on Saturdays
Spread our money ‘round
I go up and down
And every single sound says
No you! No you! No you! No you!
No you, no you, no you!

"None Of Your Business Now"

"None Of Your Business Now"



Send me no more letters
Nor ask me how I’m going
It might make you feel better
But it’s none of your business knowing
It’s none of your business now

You say you regret it
And hope we can be friends
You really just don’t get it
None of this business can mend
And it’s none of your business now

Once we had the real thing
Nothing could compare
But it was really nothing
A hell of a business yeah yeah
And none of our business now

So go and find another
Or write a stupid song
To help yourself get over
You’re none of my business – so long!
You’re none of my business now

Oh, please don’t send me letters
Or knock upon my door
I’m on the way to better
I’m none of your business no more
I’m none of your business now

"Nothing But A Dream"

"Nothing But A Dream"



High on a hill, deep in a forest
At the end of a lonely road
Inside a house of New Zealand timber
Lives a young queen all on her own
She took me in and did her healing
And said 'You can stay if you know when to go
But don't take too much when you start your stealing
Just a little's enough-you're the one who should know'

You will fall, you will fall
Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems
You will fall, you will fall
Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream

She sat me down at her dark piano
And said 'Can you play me that old Spanish song?
I know a verse and all of the chorus
But there's just one chord I keep getting wrong'
She threw down three coins and said 'There's a purpose
In all that we do, every fall of a leaf
Now drink from this cup, I made you a potion
And lay yourself down and get you some sleep'

You will fall, you will fall
Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems
You will fall, you will fall
Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream

I woke to the sound of somebody strumming
She held in her hands a parlour guitar
She said 'If you like this song that I'm strumming
Take it with you, it's only a prayer'

You will fall, you will fall
Nothing but a dream, nothing as it seems
You will fall, you will fall
Nothing as it seems, nothing but a dream

"Nothing On My Mind"

"Nothing On My Mind"



Rack 'em up Jim, it's your break
Set 'em up Max, it's my shout
You know I really could go a round or three
You wouldn't believe the crap I've had to deal with this week
And I'm shovelling most of it for free
'Grace under pressure'-that's what the old man said
Yeah the old man said a lot of things in his time
Well, fighting a bull's one thing but fighting bullshit's another
And around here you know the bullshit just never seems to die
I just want nothing on my mind

Christ hell! It's warming up in here, listen to that guitar player will ya
Do you think anyone could get him to turn down?
Where'd Jim go, sorry I didn't catch your name
It's impossible to hear a word above that sound
I'm a little thirsty, I'm running out of money, hey I'm a legend not a star
And I'll talk to anyone yes I will
Just as long as I can keep ripping the scab off those cold little vicious ones as they keep coming right across the bar
I just want nothing on my mind

There was a man on the radio today talking about the young people
Said we should listen to the young people, said they're a victim of conspiracy
The young people, Jesus! What's that supposed to mean? I never did one damn good thing 'til I was over thirty
I'm gonna get up in the morning, chug-a-Iug a coffee
Get on my bike and ride away
Find me a beach with a nice little break and I'm gonna catch wave after wave after wave
Until there's nothing on my mind
(Whoever brought me here will have to take me home)

"Nukkanya"

"Nukkanya"



Outside the dogs are barking
And the morning sun is breaking through the trees
My heart is feeling heavy
As I listen to the moaning of the breeze
Nukkanya, baby, I really don't want to leave

There's a ticket in my pocket
I'd toss it if I only had my way
And a suitcase in the hallway
I wish I could unpack it now and stay
Nukkanya, baby, I'm gonna be back some day

Nukkanya
Don't it go to show what a man don't know
Nukkanya
Nukkanya, baby, I really don't want to go

My land was once a river
I hate to see it slowly bleeding dry
My love is like an eagle
High across the valleys she will fly
Nukkanya, baby, I'll see you by and by

Nukkanya
Don't it go to show what a man don't know
Nukkanya
Nukkanya~ baby, I really don't want to go
