"It's Not The Spotlight"

"It's Not The Spotlight"


If I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I don't have to tell you what a welcome it will be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
but I still keep on believing that it'll come back some day.

It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra light,
it's not the street lights of some old street of dreams.
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
but I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.

Some times I try to tell myself the light was never real,
just a fantasy that used to be, the way I used to feel.
But you and I know better, even though it's been so long,
if your memory really serves you well, you'll never tell me no wrong.

It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra light,
it's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
but I've seen it shining in your eyes you know what I mean.

So if I ever feel the light again shining down on me,
I don't have to tell you what a welcome it would be.
I felt the light before but I let it slip away,
but I still keep on believing that it'll come back some day.

It's not the spotlight, it's not the cam'ra light,
it's not the streetlights of some old street of dreams.
It ain't the moonlight, not even the sunlight,
but I've seen it shining in your eyes and you know what I mean.

"It's Over"

"It's Over"


The congregation sang
We knelt and prayed
As we stood before God
On that beautiful day
The church bells rang
And the champagne flowed
As our friends gathered 'round
For the wedding photo

But here we are barely 5 years on
And our whole world's falling apart

All the plans we we had together
Up in smoke and gone forever
Poisoned by the lawyer's letters
It's over
I don't want our kids to suffer
Can we talk to one another
You were once my wife, my lover
It's over

Rumours and whispers tear you apart
But I know you better than that

Inseparable were we
With a breeze in our sails
Now I feel the chilled wind
Of a marriage that fell
And our friends are divided
They've taken their sides
Now they'll all sit back
And watch the circus arrive

I don't stand here tryna focus the blame
But I'm hurting deep down inside

All the pain and all the grieving
When did we stop believing
Too late now to stop the bleeding
It's over
What's the sense in pointing fingers
Who's the saint and who's the sinner
There ain't gonna be a winner
It's over

Oh my dear, what happened to us?
Tell me where did it all go wrong?

What's the use in keep on fighting?
All the tears, all the crying
Why do we keep denying
It's over
In all this time I thought I knew ya
Don't forget our children's future
I would do whatever suits ya
Oh yeah!
It's over
It's over
Yeah, it's over

"It's The Same Old Song"

"It's The Same Old Song"


You're sweet as a honey bee
But like a honey bee stings
You've gone and left my heart in pain
All you left is our favorite song
The one we danced to all night long
It used to bring sweet memories
Of a tender love that used to be

Now it's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

A sentimental fool am I
To hear a old love song
And wanna cry
But the melody keeps haunting me
Reminding me how in love we used to be
Keep hearing the part that used to touch my heart
Saying together forever
Breaking up never

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

Precious memories keep a lingering on
Everytime I hear our favorite song
Now you're gone
Left this emptiness
I only reminisce
The happiness we spent
We used to dance on the music
Make romance through the music

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone
It's the same old song
But with a different meaning
Since you been gone

"Italian Girls"

"Italian Girls"


I've got two and more to show
I was dreaming of a mobile
that couldn't be mine not without lyin'
Was I feeling kind a silly
when I stepped in soakin' beer down the cola machine
Oh, stayin' seventeen
Well she claimed she was a killer
and she owned a flood lit villa
a little aways from the main highway
Oh take me way down yonder

She was tall, thin and tarty
and she drove a Maserati
faster than sound
I was heaven bound
Although I must have looked a creep
in my army surplus jeep
Was I being too bold
before the night could get old
No, no, no, no
She proved me so wrong

Oh the Italian girls sometimes hold their religious habits
in front of your eyes, just to get you tied
Ah but not my little Bella

"Jealous"

"Jealous"


Where was you last night?
And the night before?

You've got his number implanted in your brain,
he's been calling you, putting on a stupid name,
I don't own you honey but give me some respect,
ev'ryone's laughin' laughin' behind my back,
yeah and I'm jealous, yes I'm jealous,
Oh!

You're so cold baby it ain't like it used to be,
I'm suspicious, you're acting so deviously,
secret phone calls, when you think I'm not around,
you've been seen with him all over town,
yeah and I'm jealous when you look at someone else,
I'm so jealous, I want you all to myself,
I'm jealous babe,
I'm so jealous.

Now does he buy you ruby rings and perfumes from abroad,
does he hypnotise you with things I can't afford,
does he drive a Cadillac, is he white or is he black,
What's he got that I ain't got, is he really that big?
You bet your life I'm jealous babe,
yeah,

You've been seen wit him all over town, baby
Yes, I'm jealous, goddam' jealous

You've been to Angelo's for a quiet dinner for two,
then to Shakey Jake's where you danced until two,
then to his place where I know you spent the night,
got my spies girl, and they're all
jealous

Did he really blow your mind,
did he alway treat you kind,
does he kiss you like I do,
did he crawl all over you,
did he have you on the floor,
were you screaming out for more,
is he better than I am,
are you seeing him again.

I'm so jealous when you look at someone else,
I'm so jealous, want you all myself,
I'm so jealous, it's tearing me apart,
I'm so jealous, it's ripping out my heart,
I'm so jealous,
yes I'm so jealous babe,
I told you once before,
I'm eatin' out my heart, baby,
You make me so weak honey.

"Jo's Lament"

"Jo's Lament"


I stayed away so long Jo
don't think that I could come back
You're doin' so well without me girl
you'd laugh if you'd know'd where I'm at

You knew me when it was all my world
Somehow it's all passed me by
But don't let on to my friends Jo dear
that things ain't turned out as planned

You bore my child then I left you aside
I don't expect you to forgive
But Jo I can say in a funny old way
I was sure that I had it made

I still possess a photograph
my memory to refresh
But fade it may Jo I can say
I was sure that I had it made

You bore my child then I left you aside
I don't expect you to forgive
But now I'm not so young and I'm so afraid
to sleep alone for the rest of my days

"Just Like A Woman"

"Just Like A Woman"


Nobody feels any pain,
tonight as I stand inside the rain.
Ev'rybody knows
that baby's got new clothes,
but lately I see her ribbons and her bows
have fallen from her curls.

She takes just like a woman,
she makes love just like a woman,
and she aches just like a woman.
But she breaks just like a little girl.

Queen Mary, she's my friend,
oh I believe that I'll go see her again.
Nobody has to guess
that baby can't be blessed
till she finds out she's like all the rest,
with her fog, her amphetamines and her pearls.

She aches just like a woman, yes she does
she takes just like a woman, yes she does
she makes love just like a woman, yes she does
But she breaks just like a little girl.

It was raining from the first
and I was dying there of thirst,
So I came in here.
And your long time curse a' hurts,
but you know honey what's worse
is this pain in here,
I can't stay in here,
ain't it clear.

Oh I just don't fit,
I believe that it's time for us to quit.
When we meet again
and introduced as friends
please don't let on
that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world.

You fake just like a woman, yes she does
and make love just like a woman, yes she does
Then you ache just like a woman, yes she does
But you break just just like a little girl, break like a girl

Ooh ooh ooh, ooh, ooh
Just like a woman, woman, woman.

"Just My Imagination"

"Just My Imagination"


Each day through my window I watch her as she passes by
I say to myself you're such a lucky guy
To have a girl like her is truly a dream come true
Out of all of the fellas in the world she belongs to you

But it was just my imagination running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me

Soon we'll be married and raise a family
In a cozy, little home, in the country with two children, maybe three
I tell you, I can visualize it all
This couldn't be a dream for too real it all seems

But it was just my imagination, once again running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me

Every night, on my knees I pray
Dear Lord, hear my plea

Or is it just my imagination, once again running away with me?
It was just my imagination running away with me

Just my imagination running away with me
It was just my imagination running away with me

Just my imagination
Just my imagination
Just my imagination

"Lady Day"

"Lady Day"


North winds have made my face a little older
and my back is bent through trying too hard
My vest is torn so I make no perfect picture
to place upon your white-washed wall
I'd like to stay but you have not asked me
Still I don't really expect you to
Dusty boots would shame you now Lady Day
Are we really that far apart
I wish the world could see you now Lady Day
laughing down at your oldest friend
The one who shared just about all he had
in a one-sided love affair
I get scared when I remember too much

Wasted time I suppose you could say that
Strange it don't seem that way to me
But wait a minute
I don't even think you're listening
Just let me tell you how I really feel
I've seen the inside of your heart Lady Day
when you wanted to be shown the way
I loved you then as I love ya now girl

"Lady Luck"

"Lady Luck"


Lady Luck
Here I am on time
Proppin' up the bar
with a glass of wine
Friday night
and I'm all spruced up and fine
I ain't goin' nowhere

Lady Luck
Why don't you pull up a chair
And bring your shine right wisdom
Darlin' over here
Your Gaelic humor
And your pious smile
All the cats'll be laugin' tonight

Now you may say it's a funny old world
You may say that the game ain't fair
Is there a plot or do you improvise
Or maybe you don't even care

Lady Luck
Ain't you the fickle kind
Why are some folks lucky
While the rest are tryin'
You keep on playin'
It's still a mystery
You're laced with a touch
of inconsistancy

So why don't you give us all a break
Make us all rich healthy and fine
Five months holidays and a four hour week
And a horse that wins all the time

Lady Luck
Hear the mandolins
Kind of makes you wonder
How it might have been
There go all
The funny place I've got
Back on the street again

Lady Luck
Yeah, it's late I know
Allow me to buy you one more folderol
And tell me something
I've been longin' to hear
It's gotta get better next year

'Cause I've seen some rainy days
My wedding suits are frayed and torn
But now the sun comes shining through
I've cried in my beer too long

Lady Luck, Lady Luck
Don't push me over
When I can't stand up, oh yeah
Sure it's a funny old world
Sure it's a funny old world
