"Here To Eternity"

"Here To Eternity"


On a hot summer's night
In the year of '75
Jimmy Doyle took his child bride
Amanda, for a drive
She was only seventeen
He just lived to see her smile
Their commitment to each other
Burned like a forest fire

Otis on the radio singing "Stand By Me"
As a trooper pulled them over
And said Jimmy where you been
Someone matching your description
Has just robbed the liquor store
Amanda said "He's been with me"
But they weren't listening anymore

Down at Precinct Number Five
They questioned Jimmy through the night
The sheriff said "He's gotta stand trial"
Armed robbery is the charge
Amanda said "This cannot be"
Gonna stay right here until you set him free

And I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do

The old courthouse was crowded
As the judge reviewed the case
In a year of re-election
He was desperate to impress
Innocent or guilty
He saw an opportunity
To send Jimmy down for life
To the Penitentiary

Disbelief and anger
As they dragged him away
In a cell below the courthouse
They beat him like a slave
But his use of martial arts
Struck a blow for liberty
Felled a guard with a fist of iron
And killed him instantly

All the press surrounded Amanda
Coming down the courthouse steps
Pleading for her young man's life
And in a moment seen by millions
She bowed her head and cried
Show my man some mercy
He's the father of my child

I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh God gave me something
I must hold on to
Gonna hold on him
No matter what you do
I love him
Here to eternity

Jimmy Doyle appeared again
In a second public trail
For the murder of a prison guard
They sentenced him to die
But Amanda with her long red hair
Made one last plea
As the court fell into silence
She cried out desperately

This man of mine is innocent
As one day I shall prove
It's an open case of self defense
All this circumstantial evidence
You place before your court
Has robbed me of my husband
Forget I will not

I love him
Here to eternity
Forever
Unto eternity
Oh goodbye my Jimmy
'Til we meet again
In a better world than this
I swear I'll clear your name
'Cos I love you
Here to eternity

"Highgate Shuffle"

"Highgate Shuffle"


Oh, yeah
Let the band play one time now

It was early one morning,
I was on my way to school
Early one morning,
I was on my way to school
Got lost on monday morning,
I broke my teachers rule

I was in love with you, baby,
before I learned to call your name
I was in love with you, baby,
before I learned to call your name
Now you're in love with someone else
You're bound to drive poor me insane

Oh, yeah ( )

I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye bye
I said bye, bye bye, baby, bye, bye ...

"Hold The Line"

"Hold The Line"


Hold on. We just have to hold on.
We don't have to cry. No, not tonight.
I know lately everything seems crazy.
People walking by. Just getting by.

And I just wanna rest my head.
And lay down with roses in our bed.
They say heaven can wait.
You and I, we'll survive.

Sometimes we're lost and astray,
And the hope far away.
Hold the line. We'll survive.
So lets just smile through the rain,
through the heartache and pain.
Hold the line. We'll survive.
We'll Survive

Hold the line
We'll survive

Slow down. We just have to slow down.
Hours are coming fast. Way too fast.
Another grey day, Technical, and save me
Painted in the sky. We're alive.

And I just wanna rest my head.
And lay down with roses in our bed.
They say heaven can wait.
You and I, we'll survive.

Sometimes we're lost and astray,
And the hope far away.
Hold the line. We'll survive.
So lets just smile through the rain,
through the heartache and pain.
Hold the line. We'll survive.
We'll Survive

Hold the line
We'll survive

Hold the line
We'll survive

Hold on. We just have to hold on.
We don't have to cry. No, not tonight.
I know lately everything seems crazy.
People walking by. Getting by.

Sometimes we're lost and astray,
And the hope far away.
Hold the line. We'll survive.
So lets just smile through the rain,
through the heartache and pain.
Hold the line. We'll survive.
We'll Survive
Oh yeah
Hold the line
We'll survive

Hold the line
We'll survive

We'll survive

"Hot Legs"

"Hot Legs"


Who's that knocking on my door
It's gotta be a quarter to four
Is it you again coming 'round for more
Well you can love me tonight if you want
But in the morning make sure you're gone
I'm talkin' to you
Hot legs, wearing me out
Hot legs, you can scream and shout
Hot legs, are you still in school
I love you honey

Gotta most persuasive tongue
You promise all kinds of fun
But what you don't understand
I'm a working man
Gonna need a shot of vitamin E
By the time you're finished with me
I'm talking to you
Hot legs, you're an alley cat
Hot legs, you scratch my back
Hot legs, bring your mother too
I love you honey

Imagine how my daddy felt
in your jet black suspender belt
Seventeen years old
He's touching sixty four

You got legs right up to your neck
You're making me a physical wreck
I'm talking to you
Hot legs, in your satin shoes
Hot legs, are you still in school
Hot legs, you're making me a fool
I love you honey

Hot legs, making your mark
Hot legs, keep my pencil sharp
Hot legs, keep your hands to yourself
I love you honey
Hot legs, you're wearing me out
Hot legs, you can scream and shout
Hot legs, you're still in school
I love you honey

"How Long"

"How Long"


How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?

Well your friends and their fancy persuasion
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.

Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,

How long has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long and how long has this been going on?
How long baby?

Oh, your friends and their gentle persuation
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
but I can't help but have my suspictions,
'cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.

Well you said you was never intending
to break up our scene in this way,
but there ain't any use in pretending
it could happen to us any day,

How long and how long has this been going on,

How long, honey, oh, has this been going on?
How long has this been going on?

"Human"

"Human"


Ah:
Ah:ah:
Ah:
Ah:human

I been lookin' in the mirror somethin's gettin' clearer
Wonderin' who am I
Just a chemical solution caught in evolution
Only livin' to survive

Or am I just another lifetime lookin' for a lifeline
Cryin' when the sun don't shine
Am I runnin' through the ghetto maybe I should let go
Of all the dreams inside

But who am I to reach so high
And who am I to raise my eyes
Want to live
I want to die
I can't do anything I'll tell you why

I'm the one who took a walk on the moon
And I made the seven wonders too
There is nothin' that I cannot do
Cause I am human
There is nothing that I cannot be
I'm the one who sailed the seven seas
And I know that it is all in me
Cause I am human

The blood that's runnin' through my veins
It tells me I'm the same as all the other ones gone by
In the air that I am breathin', emotions that I'm feelin'
Underneath the same blue sky

And I know if I believe it, then I can achieve it
Nothin's standin' in my way
Then maybe history will make a place for me
And I'll be livin' for that day

But who am I to reach so high
And who am I to raise my eyes
Want to live
I want to die
I can't do anything I'll tell you why

I'm the one who took a walk on the moon
And I made the seven wonders too
There is nothin' that I cannot do
Cause I am human
There is nothing that I cannot be
I'm the one who sailed the seven seas
And I know that it is all in me
Cause I am human

Not born to make mistakes, not born to fade away
Not only livin' to survive
Don't tell me I am nothin', know that I am somethin'
Brother, don't ya realise

I'm the one who took a walk on the moon
And I made the seven wonders too
There is nothin' that I cannot do
Cause I am human
There is nothing that I cannot be
I'm the one who sailed the seven seas
And I know that it is all in me
Cause I am human

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
I'm the one
I am human

Oh, yeah

Ah:
Ah:ah:
Ah:
Ah:human

"I Ain't Superstitious"

"I Ain't Superstitious"


Ain't superstitious
Black cat crossed my trail
I ain't superstitious
But a black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain't got me so far
And I won't let it stop me now

The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood, that ain't all
Dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood, hmm
This is a mean old world to live in
And I can't face it all by myself, at all

And dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood
The dogs begin to bark
All over my neighborhood
I got a feelin' about the future
And it ain't too good, I know that

I know, I know, I know, I

Ain't superstitious
But a black cat crossed my trail
I said it so many times before
Ain't superstitious
A black cat crossed my trail
Bad luck ain't got me so far
And you know, I ain't gonna let it stop me now

Come on

"I Can't Get Started"

"I Can't Get Started"


I've been around the world in a plane
I've settled revolutions in Spain
The North Pole I have charted
But man I can't get started with you
And at the golf course I'm under par
Metro-Goldwyn wants me to star
I've got a house and a show place
But can't get no place with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
Baby but what good dose it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Gabel had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you

You're so supreme
The lyrics I write of you
Dream, dream, day and night of you
Scheme just for the sight of you
But what good does it do
I've been consulted by Franklin D.
Even Basic had me to tea
But now I'm broken hearted
Can't get started with you
