"Hands Off"

"Hands Off"


Anyone can tell you, lies like one and one is two,
And then call 'round and tell that I'm not right for you.
Hands off, You're gonna hear me saying,
Hands off, Things sure need some changing,
Hands off, We'd all be much better of then.
Anyone can tell you, lies like one and two is three,
And then call 'round and tell that you weren't made for me.
Hands off, Do you need persuading?
Hands off, I've had enough interrogation,
Hands off, Do you hear what I say?
Hands off, Now do you need persuading?
Hands off, I've had enough interrogation.
Hands off, Do you hear what I say?
Yeah...
You know that I'm a peaceful man, now as a general rule,
That's the way I'd like to keep it, if I had to choose.
Hands off, Now here's the situation,
Hands off, My girl needs consideration,
Hands off, Did you hear what I say?
There's people letter-writing until the ink turns green,
Trying to ruin my reputation, sell it to a magazine.
Hands off, Now here's the situation,
Hands off, My girl needs consideration,
Hands off, We'd all be better off then.
Hands off, Now here's the situation,
Hands off, My girl needs consideration,
Hands off, Did you hear what I say?
Hands off, Now here's the situation,
Hands off, Needs some consideration,
Hands off, Did you hear what I say?
Hands off,... Off..hey..
Hands off, Now here's the situation,
Hands off, Did you hear what I say.

"Hands Up"

"Hands Up"


Hands up reach for the sky
And I will tell you why
This is just a game I'm playin
You won't feel the same I'm betting now
Get up you know this time
That you made up your mind
Think of all the dreams you're chasin
Think of all the time you're wastin now
My world is upside down
My inside is inside out
I'm hangin to a leaf that's shakin
That's hangin to a branch that's breakin off now
Go out into the night
Left to the sky
You'll walk out the shoes you're wearin
Might even lose your blues, no tellin now

"Heaven's Gate"

"Heaven's Gate"


You're feeling haunted,
See those shadows on the shades?
You're stalking 'round the room,
Your name is on a blade.
The darkness 'round your neck
Is like a metal claw,
Who is gonna save you?
Who will hear your call?

Hear you call..yeahh..

You'll never get to heaven,
Putting money in the plate.
Can't bribe St. Peter,
When you're at Heaven's gate.
Right now you wonder,
How crazy things can be,
You dealt your own hand,
Five-card Destiny.

Roller-coaster, feeling from the floor.
Someone stole the, key right from your door.

Just what you needed,
Shadows on the blinds.
Feel so somersaulted,
Trying to keep your sense of time.
Lightning on the windows,
Just to seal your fate.
Who is gonna save you,
When you're at Heaven's gate?
Yeahh....heavens gate.

"Hell Cat"

"Hell Cat"


Well there's a hellcat, loose cat, hear it wail
It can stop you down the street, you cannot get away
Well it's gonna get to you, got the demon power
You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire
You got to run, run, brother you know your soul's on fire

Well there's a strange, strange feeling chilling your hands
A shadow in your doorway, freeze you where you stand
You play your dice with the devil, now it's much too late
Well don't you know you got a hellcat on your trail
Well don't you know you got a hellcat on your trail

The sound that haunts you from the dark will dawn
Don't go away no more when the morning comes
There's a step on the stairs, a storm in your sails

That you know you got a hellcat by the tail
Yeah, you've done and got a hellcat on your trail

Oh yeah

Well there's a hellcat, loose cat, hear it moan
Stalking your shadow all night long
It's the darkest feeling this side of hell
Well don't you know you got a hellcat by the tail
You know you've got a hellcat by the tail
Well hellcat
Well hellcat
Well hellcat
Well hellcat

She start messin' around.

And give it to a, her other man?

To ask for his advice.

They painted up the town once or twice.

Is planning to hoodoo the hoodoo man.

"I Ain't No Saint"

"I Ain't No Saint"


I ant no saint
I can't turn the other cheek
I ain't no saint
But you can cool my temper
By the words you speak
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
I'm falling over, she makes the pieces fit
If I get arrested or in some legal twist
She talks to the judge and gets the case dismissed
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down hear lord
I think heaven's gonna have to wait
She doesn't tell me how to make a living
Don't lock her love up with a key

If I'm down my head is spinning
Don't call a doctor or a priest
I ain't no saint
Won't tow the party line
I ain't no saint
But you get my nomination
Every single time
I ain't no saint
Won't make it through the pearly gates
I feel alright down here, Lord
I think heavens gonna have to wait
I'll tell you straight from the shoulder
Straight from the hip
I feel alright down here, Lord
I think Heavens gonna have to wait

"I Could've Had Religion"

"I Could've Had Religion"


I could've had religion, I could religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray
I swear to the world she drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away, she drove my spirit away
I could've had religion, I could've had religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray
I tell the truth, she drove my spirit away
She drove my spirit away
I could've been, I could've been a preacher,
But I changed my mind the other nigh
The woman I have now, she would not treat me right
She would not treat me right
I've been a bad man, as bad can be
Gonna pray to the Lord above to send his blessing on me
I want some mercy, you got set my soul free
Set my soul free, Please..
I could've had, I could've had religion
But my little girl wouldn't let me pray.
Well, demon woman, you sent the devil my way,
You sent the devil my way.
Oh Lord above please send my fire,
Send your mercy right down to me.
That woman set the devil on me,
She set the devil on me,
She set the devil one me,
She set the devil on me.
Could've had religion

"I Fall Apart"

"I Fall Apart"


Like a cat that's playing with a ball of twine that you call my heart
Oh but baby is it so hard to tell the two apart

'Til the end of time you'll be on my mind

I don't mind waiting for your love,

Rain or shine please bring out your love,
