"Forty-Five Hundred Times"

"Forty-Five Hundred Times"


There's nobody on the end of my line
I'm in time but somebody's missing
Maybe I can find a hand for my hand
If I find a well for my wishing
Be my friend, be my friend

It gets lonely on a table for two
Laughing on your own can be no fun
Even people that are talking to you
Remind you that you're really with no-one
Be my friend, be my friend

Take me over like a thing from the past
Lots of people wishing they'd been there
No-one knowing just how long it would last
But I'm sitting still here in my chair
Be my friend, be my friend

Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Forty-five hundred times I told you how much I care
Problems halved are the problems that we can share
White lies in our eyes, together not really there

Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Forty-five hundred times I told you you can lean on me
Though it's taken a long time for you to see
Where we're at is the right place for us to be

I sure want to stay here, it sure feels fine
I feel I could be here a long long time
Now that I've made it, I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you

We came a long way, a slow way too
Up from the down way and back to you
Now that I've made it I don't want to fade it
Now that I've made it with you

"Frozen Hero"

"Frozen Hero"


Another night, another night
another night with the the big fat zero
Another night, another night
another night for the frozen hero

it's getting tight, it's getting tight
it's getting tight for the mis-fit no-no
you gotta light, give me a lucky light
you got a light for the midnight promo

Another night down in the hole
with all the weirdos
another day, day in the life
of a hero

'cos we're up there beggin'
over down here rotting in a hole
do they call this living
do they call this rock and roll
they say it's well good money
but it just don't feed the soul
my soul

I get a fright, I get a fright
and every hour is a nightmare daydream
I gotta hide, I gotta hide
I gotta hide in the human smokescreen

It isn't right, it ain't right
it isn't right that it's all in my face
Another fight, another bloody fight
another fight it's an urban rat-race

Down at the tube, stuck in the queue
here at the station
what might he do,
how could you change the situation

'cos we're up there beggin'
over down here rotting in a hole
do they call this living
do they call this rock and roll
(call this rock and roll)
they say it's well good money
but it just don't feed the soul
my soul

Another night, it isn't right
another night for the big fat zero
It's getting tight, awful tight
it's getting tight for the mis-fit no-no

You got a light, give me a light
you got a light for the midnight hobo
another night, another freaking night
another night for the frozen hero

Another night down in the hole
with all the weirdos
another day, day in the life
of a hero

'cos we're up there beggin'
over down here rotting in a hole
do they call this living
do they call this rock and roll
(call this rock and roll)
they say it's well good money
but it just don't feed the soul
my soul

"Fun Fun Fun"
(with The Beach Boys)



Well she got her Daddy's car and she cruised to the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting goes cruising just as fast as she can now
And she'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird away

Well the girls can't stand her 'cos she walks, looks and drives like an ace now
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
A lot of guys try to catch her but she leads them on a wild goose chase now
And she'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird away

Well she's making a turn and it looks like she's coming around now
And I'm a little concerned 'cos the town is closing on down now
Well I jump in the 'bird for some good-time getting around now
And we'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird away
Fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird away

Well you knew all along that your Dad was getting wise to you now
And since he took your set of keys you've been thinking that your fun is all through now
But you can come along with me 'cos we got a lot of things to do now
And you'll have fun fun fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away
Fun fun fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away

"Genleman Joe's Sidewalk Cafe"


Hey Joe
Would you please lend me your ear?
I've got to know if everything's all right.
Hey Joe, have you seen my baby here?
Oh we used to share a table every night.
Hey Joe, she's the only girl who's ever
Meant anything at all
If I lose her I lose all

Joe, if you've seen her won't you say,
Or point in the direction she did go.

Every night, under the light of the moon
Under a table we'd choose, she'd take off her shoes
And rub her feet against mine

Joe, have you seen my baby here?
Oh we used to share a table every night.
Hey Joe, she's the only girl who's ever
Meant anything at all
If I lose her I lose all
Joe, if you've seen her won't you say,
Or point in the direction she did go.

Every night, under the light of the moon
Under a table we'd choose, she'd take off her shoes
And rub her feet against mine

Joe, would you please lend me your ear?
I've got to know if everything's all right.
Hey Joe, have you seen my baby here?
Oh we used to share a table every night

"Gerdundula"


Love it seems I just can't find
Love it seems I just can't find
Seems that I'm the one love
The one love left behind

I've searched it just won't come my way
I've searched it just won't come my way
It's love that I want now
So what more can I say

Women seem to pass me by
Women seem to pass me by
If I could find the reason
I'd know the answer why

Love it seems I just can't find
Love it seems I just can't find
Seems that I'm the one love
The one love left behind

"Get Back"
(originally by The Beatles)



Jojo was a man who though he was a loner, but he knew it couldn't last
Jojo left his home in Tucson, Arizona for some Californian grass
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Sweet Loretta Modern though she was a woman, but she was another man
All the girls around her said she had it coming, but she gets it while she can
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you once belonged
Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you once belonged

Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

Get back to where you once belonged, get back to where you once belonged
Get back, get back, get back to where you once belonged

"Get Out And Walk"

"Get Out And Walk"


I got fat knees from crawlin' so fast
I got sore lips from kissin' your ass
I know I don't want any more part of you

I got brain pain, you make me so mad
I got black eyes from fightin' your dad
I know I don't want any more part of you

Get out (Get out!) get out and walk
Stop blowing kisses across the hall
Don't write me letters and please don't call
Gimme a break, Get out and walk

I got slipped discs with you on my back
I got ulcers from swallowing crap
I know I don't want anymore part of you

Get out (Get out!) get out and walk
Stop blowing kisses across the hall
Don't write me letters and please don't call
Gimme a break, Get out and walk

Get out (Get out!) get out and walk
Stop blowing kisses across the hall
Don't write me letters and please don't call
Gimme a break, Get out and walk

"Get Out Of Denver"

"Get Out Of Denver"


I still remember, it was autumn and the moon was shining
Our '60 Cadillac was rolling through Nebraska whining
Doing a hundred-twenty, man the fields was bending over
Hauling up for the mountains knowing we was traveling further
All our fires were blazing and the spinning wheels were turning, turning
Had my girl beside me, brother, brother, she was burning, burning

I walked up back to speak to this southern funky school teacher
She had a lot of something heavy but we couldn't reach her
We told her that we needed something that would get us going
She pulled out all she had and laid it on the counter showing
All I had to do was lay my money down and pick it up
The cop came busting in and then we lit out in a pickup truck

Go! Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver
'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens they were screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to Lovely Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

Well, red lights were flashing and the sirens they were screaming
We had to pinch each other just to see if we were dreaming
Made it to Lovely Pass in under less than half an hour
Lord, it started drizzling and it turned into a thundershower

The rain was driving but the Caddy kept on burning rubber
We kept on driving 'til we ran into some fog cover
We couldn't see a thing but somehow we just kept on going
We kept on driving all night long and then into the morning
Morning fog had lifted when we looked to see where we was at
We're staring at a Colorado state policeman trooper cat

Go! Get out of Denver, better go, go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver
'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver
Better go! Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver, better go
Get out of Denver
'Cos you look just like a commie and you might just be a member
Better get out of Denver, better get out of Denver
Better go!

Get out of Denver, better get out of Denver
Better get out of Denver, better....go! Get out of Denver, better go, get out of Denver
Better get out, get out, get out
Get out of Denver
Better go, get out of Denver better go get out of Denver
Better, better
Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out

"Getting Better"
(originally by The Beatles)



I used to get mad at my school
The teachers that taught me weren't cool
Holding me down, and turning me round
Filling me up with your rules

Got to admit it's getting better
It's getting better all the time
Have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better, since you'll be mine

I used to be angry young man
Me hiding me head in the sand
You gave me the word, I finally heard
I'm doing the best that I can

Got to admit it's getting better
It's getting better all the time
Have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better, since you'll be mine
Getting so much better all the time

It's getting better all the time, better, better, better
It's getting better all the time, better, better, better

I used to be cruel to my woman, I beat her
And kept her apart from the things that she loved
Man I was mean but I'm changing my scene
And I'm doing the best that I can

Got to admit it's getting better
It's getting better all the time
Have to admit it's getting better
It's getting better, since you'll be mine
Getting so much better all the time

"Goin' Nowhere"

"Goin' Nowhere"


I'm tired out, my head is aching
I wanna shout, but I feel I'm goin' nowhere
Yeah, I feel I'm goin' nowhere
I've run about in a fit of madness
To work it out in the hope of goin' somewhere
Yeah I hope I'm goin' somewhere

And I know it must be time for me making up my mind
Does it matter if I'm fine? It'll change my tune in time
If I'm really goin' nowhere

I'm better now, I've thought about it
Can't figure out, but I'm looking for it somewhere
All I know is that it's somewhere
It's closer now than I've ever had it
Much closer now, so I must be getting somewhere
Yeah, I hope I'm getting somewhere

'Cos you never know, in time with the changing of my mind
I could turn around and say that was just another day
Am I really goin' nowhere?

I've run about in a fit of madness
To work it out in the hope of goin' somewhere
Yeah I hope I'm goin' somewhere

'Cos you never know, in time with the changing of my mind
I could turn around and say that was just another day
Am I really goin' nowhere?
