"Jealousy"

"Jealousy"


Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone

Time is running out, out runs the time
I waste it on my own
But don't think I'm alone
Oh no, not again, I won't reply
I can't stay on the phone
I'll see you back at home
I really did think that problem was solved
But it is not

Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone

I've got another one, listen to me
And don't get all hung on
To things I have done wrong
Oh no, not again, I won't reply
It's only how I feel
It sometimes seems unreal
But everyone gets there once in a while
Are you wishing?

Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone
Just jealousy, my jealousy
Is what you see doing me
Jealous of me, such jealousy
It shouldn't be - leave me alone ....

"Joanne"

"Joanne"


Sitting here, and all alone
Like a cold and broken stone
I'm dreaming of touching you
Silent now, an empty page
Colder than the [?] age
Above now is where we'll be
Oh Joanne, you're not with me

Through the turning of a wheel
Turning more and more until
You realise it's come too soon
Surely there is still a way
If we believe in yesterday
Oh Joanne, if you would try
Oh Joanne, don't pass me by

Think of all the friends we had
No-one heard when they were sad
To lose us as I lost you
If you ever change your mind
I'll be here, don't look behind
Oh Joanne, I love you still
Oh Joanne, I love you still

Think of all the friends we had
No-one heard when they were sad
To lose us as I lost you
If you ever change your mind
I'll be here, don't look behind
Oh Joanne, I love you still
Oh Joanne, I love you still

Sitting here, and all alone
Like a cold and broken stone
I'm dreaming of touching you
Oh Joanne, I love you still.

"Johnny And Mary"

"Johnny And Mary"


Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Knows he tires easily

Johnny thinks the world would be right if it would buy truth for him
Mary says he changes his mind more than a woman
But she made her bed
Even when the chance was slim

Johnny says he's willing to learn when he decides he's a fool
Johnny says he'll live anywhere when he has time to
Mary combs her hair
Says he should be used to it

Mary always hedges her bets, she never knows what to think
She says he's still acting like he's being discovered
Scared that he'll be caught
Without a second thought

Johnny feels he's wasting his breath trying to talk sense to her
Mary says he's lacking a real sense of proportion
So she combs her hair
Knows he tires easily

Johnny's always running around trying to find certainty
He needs all the world to confirm that he ain't lonely
Mary counts the walls
Says he should be used to it

"Josie"

"Josie"


In view of the fact that there’s a rumour going round
It seems that I’d better state my case
The problem is the misunderstandings that surround
Our latest excursions into space

Why, you may ask, do I still try
And penetrate beyond the endless sky
Up high

Let me look into your eyes Josie
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won’t leave you, not tonight Josie
If you’ll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you

In spite of the difficulties met with at the start
The probe will be carried out as planned
The problem is now the big question of the human heart
And what kind of stress it can withstand

Where, you may ask, will all this end ?
Well I can’t say I really comprehend

Let me look into your eyes Josie
Count the stars along the Milky Way
I won’t leave you, not tonight Josie
If you’ll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you

When I look into your eyes Josie
The world of man is very far away
Stay with me and let me hear you say
That you’ll try to love me, try to love me
Show me you do
The way that I love you.

"Junior's Wailing"


Love me baby, love me when I'm down
I said love me baby, love me when I'm down
Yeah you gotta love me baby

I said put your arms around me like a sunbeam round the sun

"Just Take Me"

"Just Take Me"


[Backwater / Just Take Me]

Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me and she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road

In a house on the corner looking over the track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road

Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along?
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?

Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning and she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road

I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me

Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me

I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me

"Keep 'Em Coming"

"Keep 'Em Coming"


Keep 'em coming, nose to tail
Keep 'em coming, love for sale
Alloy spokes, leather trim
Walnut dash looks good on him
Twenty-four valves set to sing

Keep 'em coming, furry dice
Keep 'em coming, well ain't that nice
Auto sunroof, heated seat
Air conditioned naturally
About as cool as I can be

Keep 'em coming, keep 'em coming

Cruise control the motorway
It's the freedom that I love
And I want to sail, I want to sail
Away, away, away
Away, away, away

Keep 'em coming, nodding dog
Keep 'em coming, I love that smog
Longer hoods, wider boots
Sell me one that loops the loop
Before we all go down the tubes

Keep 'em coming, knock 'em out
Keep 'em coming, cruise control the motorway
It's the freedom that I love
And I want to sail, I want to sail
Away, away, away
Away, away, away

"Keep Me Guessing"

"Keep Me Guessing"


I've been told a rumour that's been going round
You got a reputation and it won't lay down
But while you're feelin' the way that you do
You can keep me guessing like I keep on guessing 'bout you

I keep on hearing you done me wrong
Don't make no difference, it won't be long
I'll play your games, you're soon gonna see
You can fool yourself, you can fool yourself
You can fool yourself, oh no, no you can't fool me.

Oh, oh, I know what you want
I know what you want and that's all right, baby
Oh, Oh, I know what you want
I know what you want, you give it all night

Oh, oh, I know what you want
I know what you want and that's all right, baby
Oh, Oh, I know what you want
I know what you want, you give it all night

Your mama gave you some good advice
If you love this man then you won't look twice
Baby, and if you're feeling the way that you do
Gonna keep me guessing, gonna keep me guessing,
Gonna keep me guessing like I keep on guessing 'bout you

Gonna keep me guessing
Gonna keep me guessing

"Kick Me When I'm Down"

"Kick Me When I'm Down"


It didn't take you long, to find someone new
You moved right along, I can't believe it's true
And worst of all, it's my best friend,
Aint that really rubbin' it in

Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when I'm down, I tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

You say we'd grown apart, and that your love had died
But you made a new start, babe, before my tears had dried
I called my buddy, 'cos I was alone,
That's when you answered the phone
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when I'm down, I tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

Well I'm no stranger to pain, I got it down to a tee
From the school of hard knocks, I got my honorary phd
I didn't ask for this, I didn't treat you bad
A fool for your kiss, I gave you everything that I had
But you were wearing my old pal's ring,
While I was still wearing black
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
Kick me when I'm down, why don't you
First you put me down, then you make clown out of me
It's all over town, how could you
Kick me when I'm down, I tell you
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me
They say you live and learn, but this education's killin' me

Kick me when I'm down, why don't you,
Kick me when I'm down, kick me when I'm down,
Why don't you splatter my brains all over town
Kick me when I'm down

"Lakky Lady"

"Lakky Lady"


Ah well, I've got a woman and I love, love her so
She is big, fat and lazy but I want you all to know
That I love her and I need that woman so
She is my little lady and I'm glad that you all know

When she wakes in the morning and her figure tells no lies
My eyesight is broken when the light shines on her tights
But I love her and I need that woman so
Oh how can I tell you what I'd do if she should go

And I love her and I need that woman so
Oh well how can I tell you what I'd do if she should go

Ah well she is so lazy, how she moves I'll never know
She was so different eleven years ago
But I love her and I need that woman so
She's a big lakky lady but I love that woman so
