"I Hate To Watch You Loving Him"

"I Hate To Watch You Loving Him"



I hate to watch you loving him
I hate to watch you loving him
I hate to watch him loving you
Like some jumped up dream
Anyone can see that you're loving every minute
you would not be in it for the world

I hate to watch him touching you
I hate to watch him clutching you
I hate to watch him crutching you
All across the floor
Anyone can see that you're loving every minute
you would not be in it for the world

You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world

You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world
You would not be in it for the world

I hate to watch you loving him
I hate to watch you loving him

"I Wasted Time"

"I Wasted Time"



I wasted time, now time is wasting me
One question left-to be or not to be?
I cheated time and now it's time to pay
All out of change and less and less to say

I was a handsome raver in my time
Oh girl, you should have seen me in my prime
I see old friends at funerals now and then
It's down to this-it's either me or them

Yeah, I wasted time
Now time is wasting me
Soon it's closing time
Won't you stay with me?

Molly took my hand and led the way
Now Molly's yellow hair is silver-grey
She wore a red dress she let me undo
But Molly swears that day her dress was blue

Yeah, I wasted time
I thought it came for free
Now it's closing time
Won't you pray for me?

I tell you there's no failure like success
And no success like failure too, I guess

"I Won't Be Torn Apart"

"I Won't Be Torn Apart"



I guess it's common knowledge
There's quite a lot of mileage
In someone else's marriage
Oh baby, I won't be torn apart

You can chuck me out now
You can lock me out now
You can break my stuff but
Baby, I won't be torn apart

From a dream I've woken
And it just can't be spoken
What remains unbroken
Oh baby, I won’t be torn apart

"I Won't Be Your Dog Anymore"

"I Won't Be Your Dog Anymore"



I've been drinking muddy water
And it tastes like turpentine
I've been leaving muddy footprints
Up and down the Morgan line
Crows are crying all around me
In a sky where the sun refuse to shine

I've been taking scraps from back doors
I've been hiding in the cane
I've been fighting over morsels
And I've been slinking back again
I've been building up a reputation
On the levee, all across the plain

No I won't be your dog
Your low riding dog anymore

Now the mangrove sun is sinking
And the moon is bloody red
Every gun is clean and loaded
Lying by a feather bed
Far and wide goes my description
And the price is rising on my head

No I won't be your dog
Your low riding dog anymore

I've been drinking muddy water
I've been keeping way down low
All I hear is my own breathing
All I see is a distant glow
All I have is tearing me up
Wearing me down, just won't let me go

No I won't be your dog
Your low riding dog anymore
No I won't be your dog
Your skinny little dog anymore

"I'd Rather Go Blind"

"I'd Rather Go Blind"



I suppose I should get over this
I'm not the first and not the last
To ever wake up with a hurt inside
But it just won't go away
It's getting worse now every day
And I can't find a hole that's big enough for me to crawl and hide
I'd rather go blind, I'd rather go blind
Than see you with another guy

You made a special tape for me
With songs from all your favourite CDs
I put it on today then I had to turn it off
From Junior Brown to Dr Dre
And You Am I along the way
The music only made me want to get inside your touch
I'd rather go blind, I'd rather go blind
Than see you with another guy

You robbed me of my peace of mind
Stole the taste out of the wine
You left with nothing but you took it all
Now if you sleep with someone else
I just hope it's with another girl
You know I can't compete with that at all
I'd rather go blind, I'd rather go blind
Than see you with another guy

"I'll Be Your Lover"

"I'll Be Your Lover"



The fix is in, we should have known
It was always there from the start
Deep within, so slow and strong
Working its way to the heart
One day you notice a change
And then nothing's the same
I'll be your lover now, baby don't deny it
I'll be your lover now, money couldn't buy this

You crossed your mouth to keep mine shut
My timing was never that good
But I couldn't stand to see you mixed up
With a faker who kept his cards hid
I stayed in the game 'til the end
Waiting for my big hand
I'll be your lover now, money couldn't buy this
I'll be your lover now, baby don't deny it

'Cause I know your deep dirty places of pain
You know your secrets will always be safe
I'll keep them with mine, we're two of a kind
I'll be your lover now

The penny drops, the bottle spins
The stars all shift, the tables turn
The arrow strikes, the die is cast
The high shall be low and the first shall be last
I stayed in the game 'til the end
Waiting for my big hand
I'll be your lover now
You know your secrets will always be safe
Because there's nothing more precious than shame
I'll keep yours with mine, we're two of a kind
I'll be your lover now

"I'll Forgive But I Won't Forget"

"I'll Forgive But I Won't Forget"



Sometimes the very best of friends just have to disagree
I've seen the very best of friends part forever bitter company
And you and I, we've had our share of ups and downs
But we've seen each other through
Though I have to say I always thought I was a better friend than you
You've let me down in so many little ways
You apologise and I always accept
'Cause I forgive but I don't forget

When you were hurt I took your pain, yeah I soaked up all your rage
And there were times you did the same for me, though you always complained
When all the others wrote you off I defended you, I stuck with you like glue
You're so generous and so completely selfish and I always kind of liked that about you
But this is one too many times you've treated me like a doormat
Oh I'll forgive but I won't forget

Dying comes at any time, living has no rules
Forgiving may get you favours but forgetting's just for fools

I can't believe she fucked you here and then fed me full of lies
Why don't I go and get her now
And you can fuck her again right before my eyes
Then you two can have each other
You deserve each other I bet
And I'll forgive but I won't forget
I won't forget
I'll forgive but I won't forget

"I'm On Your Side"

"I'm On Your Side"



You’ve been crying a long long spell
You’ve been drinking from the Devil’s own well
You’re just hanging on to your pride
Oh, hold on to me now
I’m on your side

I’m on your side when you think there’s no-one
I’m on your side when darkness falls
I’m on your side
All you gotta do is call

The trees on the shoreline are all fresh from the rain
The ship on the water’s heading for the main
Open your window, let the good air inside
You don’t always know when
There’s a change in the tide

I’m on your side when others turn on you
I’m on your side when your back’s to the wall
I’m on your side
All you gotta do is call

I’m on your side though you might not believe it
I’m on your side when the shit rains down
I’m on your side
I’m gonna stand your ground
Stand your ground
Call on me
All you gotta do is call

"I've Been A Fool"

"I've Been A Fool"



So you want a second chance
You want to start again, make everything alright
But I want to know if you've changed this time
Baby don't lie, don't you lie to me
What do you take me for?
I've been a fool, anyone can see
But I'll be your fool no more

You've got a way of talking
You could sell a poor man a bottle of air
But I want to know if you've changed at all
Baby don't lie, don't you lie to me
I've heard it all before
I've been a fool, most definitely
But I'll be your fool no more

Everybody loves you, I still love you
I want you back, I need you now
But I want to know
Have you changed your spots at all?
Baby don't lie, baby don't lie
I've been a fool, I've been a fool
