"Satisfy Your Woman"

"Satisfy Your Woman"



Brothers let me tell you
A thing or two I know
If you don't treat your woman right
Out of the blue one day she's gonna go

When there's food upon the table
And whisky on the shelf
And good loving strong
And good loving long
She don't ever need nobody else

Satisfy your woman
So she listens for your coming
Make her feel like someone
Make her feel human
When all is said and done it's up to you

When you tell her that you love her
Make the words sound right
Tell her whenever you're thinking of her
You always got an appetite

And if you play around a little
Just make her realise
You were just testing your mettle
And that's all a different kettle
She's the sweetest fish you ever fried

Satisfy your woman
So she listens for your coming
Make her feel like someone
Make her feel human
When all is said and done it’s up to you

"Saturday Night And Sunday Morning"

"Saturday Night And Sunday Morning"



She's a screamer but no one knows
Just me and her old boyfriends I suppose
When I take her to see the folks they eat from her hand
On the way home I'm driving
I have to stop the car or crash it right there
She's my sticky treat, she's my bag o' sweets
She's my medicine
Oh she's Saturday night and Sunday morning

Like Princess Grace in Rear Window
She's a volcano under snow
Sometimes our action's all slo-mo in holy candlelight
I give her all my devotion
But sometimes she can't wait to be mashing on me
She's country soul, she's jelly roll
She's mountain high, she's valley low
Oh she's Saturday night and Sunday morning

She's heroin, she's amphetamine
She's mountain high, she's valley low
She's my sticky treat, she's my medicine
She's my medicine, she's my murder scene
She's Saturday night and Sunday morning

"See The Birdie"

"See The Birdie"



Come on Сissy, let’s go downtown
Come on Cissy, let’s ride
Come on Cissy, let’s go downtown
Come on Cissy, let’s ride
Everyone gets around downtown
You can strut it or hide
Everyone gets around downtown
Come on Cissy, let’s ride

Come on Cissy, let’s shake the tree
See the birdie fly out
Come on Cissy, let’s shake the tree
See the birdie fly out
Pretty birdie will sing for thee
We’re gonna jump and shout
Everyone needs a melody
See the birdie fly out

Uncle Willy went down the hill
Spreading it all about
Uncle Willy went down the hill
Spreading it all about
Uncle Willy fell in the hole
Nobody helped him out
Uncle Willy stayed in the hole
Then the birdie flew out

"See You In Paradise"

"See You In Paradise"


Daddy's gone a hunting
He won't be back til light
Bonnie don't you worry
Daddy's gonna be alright

Daddy gets our money
But he can show no proof
Other men ride in elevators
Daddy comes in the roof

I can see him falling
Softly through the air
Into the magic circle
Now children say your prayers

Oh lord grant him vision
Oh lord grant him speed
In his hour of darkness
In this time of need

Oh lord grant him vision
Oh lord grant him speed
In his hour of darkness
In this time of need
[repeat to fade]

"She Answers The Sun (Lazy Bones)"
(with Rebecca Barnard)

"She Answers The Sun (Lazy Bones)"
(with Rebecca Barnard)



[HIM:]
Wake up lazybones
I've been watching you and wandering
And now the morning's gone
Hello lazybones
I've never known someone to sleep so long beneath the sun
Open your eyes now, I'm on your stairs
Look what I've brought you, mangoes and pears
Coffee and kisses for your freckles and red hair

[HER:]
Sticks and stones may hurt my bones
But names you know will never ever hurt me
Call me lazybones
I don't mind 'cause lazybones I was born to be
I need my beauty and beauty needs sleep
So go from my window my beauty to keep
Freckles and red hair, they're only skin deep

[HIM:] Open your eyes now
[HER:] I need my sleep
[HIM:] Look what I've brought you
[HER:] They're yours to keep
[HIM:] Freckles and red hair
[HER:] They're only skin deep

"She's A Melody (Stupid Song)"

"She's A Melody (Stupid Song)"



She's a melody; when she goes by she disturbs my soul
She's a melody and she's playing me with cool control
I try to keep a quiet heart but all in vain
I'm falling, falling in a trance again

She's a stupid song that once it's heard never goes away
She's a stupid song, sorely nagging me night and day
And just when I think she's gone, well! here she comes again
She's running around my brain

I will carve her name upon the air, not in wood or stone
I will carve her name and tell the world the beauty I've known
And when we both are dead and gone
The melody will carry on, yes, only the notes remain

"She's Rare"

"She's Rare"



Some men climb mountains just to test their soul
Other men dig down in the ground looking for buried gold
Some men go diving and never come up for air
I'm a climber, I'm a miner, I'm a diver for her
Because she's rare

Down at the track they're all standing in line
Out on the oval it's just three-quarter time
Inside the ring all you hear is a dull roar
I'm a gambler, I'm a player, I'm a fighter for her
Because she's rare, she's rare

There's a man with a gun on the lake before daylight
Another man dressed in black creeping round your door last night
And a man with a rod sitting on the end of the pier
I'm a hunter, I'm a thief, I'm a fisherman for her
Because she's rare, she's rare

Outside in the alley I can hear the deal go down
Over in the park another bottle's going round
Somebody's in trouble 'cause they can't cough up their share
I'm hanging out, I'm thirsty, I'm raging for her
Because she's rare, she's rare, so rare

"Shy Before You Lord"

"Shy Before You Lord"



I'm so shy before you, Lord
I'm so shy before you, Lord
I'm just looking for a word
I'm just looking for a word
I'm so shy before you, Lord
Round here nothing ever stirred
Round here nothing ever stirred
I'm so shy before you, Lord
You were calling, I never heard
You were calling, I never heard
I'm so shy before you, Lord

"Skidding Hearts"

"Skidding Hearts"



Frank and Mary
Married on a Sunday
Even Dad cried
As she threw the bouquet

A swell reception
Chicken, ham and cray
No one saw them
As they slipped away

They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts
They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts

On page forty
See them kiss and cuddle
Matt or glossy
They're the perfect model

Frank can work hard
Mary's well connected
They could go far
With some fuel injected

They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts
They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts

Two years later
Mary's big, expecting
Frank does overtime
With his secretary

At the crossroads
There's a broken carriage
Blood and metal
Make the final marriage

They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts
They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts
They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts
They won't stop once they start
Those skidding hearts

They won't stop once they start
They won't stop once they start
They won't stop once they start
They won't stop once they start

"Smoke Under The Bridge"

"Smoke Under The Bridge"



All day long I've been walking
And mostly to myself I've been talking
The lonesome night is too quickly falling
In this unfriendly town
It's cold when the sun goes down
So I'll head for the river and look for smoke under the bridge
I'll keep on moving 'til I find smoke under the bridge
A little shelter, a friendly fire under the bridge

Once I had a place I could call my own
Now wherever I lay my head is home
Ran into some trouble back on down the road
They didn't like the look of me
Someone took a hook at me
I'll keep my eyes open for smoke under the bridge
Keep on hoping for smoke under the bridge
A warm fire, some company under the bridge

I'll keep on looking for smoke under the bridge
Keep on walking to smoke under the bridge
A little shelter, a friendly fire, some company under the bridge
I'll keep on walking
I gotta keep walking

Gotta keep walking
