"Late Last Night"

"Late Last Night"


I heard you come home late last night
You moved so quietly
Key in the door, light up the stairs
But were you thinking of me?
Don't wanna lose you, don't wanna harm you
I just wanna feel all right
So how can I ask you who you were with last night?

I listened to all your promises
And lived with all those lies
Pretending that I'm the only one
When I've seen it in your eyes
Maybe I need you, maybe it ain't true
Maybe it's still all right
So how can I ask you who you were with last night?
How can I ask you who you were with last night?

It's down to the feeling you get when you're with someone who really matters
It's down to the love that you can show someone who really cares
It's not up to you, it's not up to me
Takes two people to agree
It's down to the feeling you get when you're with someone who really matters

Lately you and I ain't talked the way that lovers do
Should accept the fact that maybe you've found someone new
If I could lose you, if I could hug you
I'd still like to feel all right
I wouldn't ask you who you were with
I wouldn't ask you who you were with
I wouldn't ask you who you were with last night
I wouldn't ask you who you were with
I wouldn't ask you who you were with
I wouldn't ask you who you were with last night
I wouldn't ask you who you were with last night

"Laticia"

"Laticia"


Best looking girl in town
Well she's a fine, fine, fine girl
Yes she's a fine, fine, fine girl

Laticia works only by night
Doing things far from right
Every time I see her I turn away
I can't understand her being this way

Laticia's a girl most men adore
And some, she knows what they're looking for
If they play nice she gives all what they want
Surely she must know this can't go on

One day she'll realise
There's ways to lead a better life
When years have flown and passed her by
There'll be tears streaming from her eyes
Too late, too long to wait

This girl called Laticia
Laticia, Laticia, Laticia

She's a fine, fine, fine girl
Yes she's a fine, fine, fine girl

Laticia works only by night
Only back roads, only dim lights
All her looks of beauty they don't mean a thing
A lovely girl, wasted in sin
Laticia

"Lazy Poker Blues"

"Lazy Poker Blues"


Me and my baby don't do nothing but laze around all day long
Me and my baby don't do nothing but laze around all day long
Yeah, when I'm with my baby
Lazy pokin' going on

She put some coal on the fire so I can keep my poker hot
She put some coal on the fire so I can keep my poker hot
Yeah, when I'm with my baby
Lazy pokin' going on

She put some coal on the fire so I can keep my poker hot
She put some coal on the fire so I can keep my poker hot
Yeah, when I'm with my baby
Lazy pokin' going

"Lean Machine"

"Lean Machine"


When I see you in the morning
As the sky is turning light
Standing there in all your glory
Oh you're looking so right
You move in sunbeams from the shadows
With your never-ending lines
You're standing there so proud before me
How your body always shines

Well you're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you

You always take what you're given
As you live with me today
And you give me what I'm taking
As we're going on our way

'Cos you're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you

We get together on the outside
On the outside looking in
Taking chances on the down side
On the outside we can win

You're a lean machine
Do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you
You're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
'Cos you're a lean machine
And I love you
You're a lean machine
Oh do you know what I mean?
You're a lean machine
And I love you

"Leave A Little Light On"

"Leave A Little Light On"


Remember back, when you were young
your mother said "that's quite enough"
so sleep tight don't let the bedbugs bite
goodnight my child

You didn't know true or false
the star is heard when the darkness falls
and under your door, creatures would squeeze
and you always had to shout "Mama please..."

Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me

So in love, couldn't ask for more
a hungry romance hey, you know the score
it was destiny, we had to meet
and I could hardly walk for one whole week

Coming up, she looked outta town
miles from nowhere, broken down
in the wind and rain lost without a clue
searching for a phone so I could tell her too

Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me

When I get old, it's time to go
what body and ailments
still playing shows
I'll be safe and sound for eternity
So Mr God, when you're ready for me

Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me

Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me
Leave a little light on,
a little light on
leave a little light on for me

"Let Me Fly"

"Let Me Fly"


I've been so lonely, I can't find any way
So long since I lost my way
I've got a feeling you're gonna run away anyday
Why does it always seem to be me?

So let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly away
I wanna climb really high all the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
So let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly, getting away
Laugh at the day, let me fly, fly, fly away

You say you're all right, you don't care anyway
I'm listening, you're trying to say
You think I'm crazy, you're thinking you've got everything right
But you're fooling no-one else but yourself

So let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly away
I wanna climb really high all the time in the sky
Wanna stay up there all day
Oh let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly, getting away
Laugh at the day, let me fly, fly, fly away

If you get lonely, you can't get along by yourself
You're finding you're needing me
Don't wait forever for me to come a-following you
I'll wait here, you come back by yourself

And we can fly, we can fly like a bird in the sky
We can fly away
And we can climb really high all the time in the sky
Gonna stay up there all day
Oh let me fly, let me fly like a bird in the sky
Let me fly, getting away
Laugh at the day, let me fly, fly, fly away

"Let's Ride"

"Let's Ride"


It's such a very long time ago
And we were riding down the dusty road
I took a turn around the dusty track
And said I'm never ever coming back
Aw, but baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Riding high on a pair of wheels

Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

It took me twenty-five thousand miles
A new starter and a pair of tyres
When at last I realised the end
Was coming up around the bend
I turned around and scraped my boots
And headed back again towards my roots
The wind was blowing through my hair
And the sun was shining everywhere

Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

A little loving goes a long, long way
And it called me back again
Now I know which way to go
I'm never ever gonna ride alone
So baby come and ride with me
Come on and ride like it used to be
I know you like the way it feels
Ridng high upon a pair of wheels

Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride
Let's ride, let's ride, let's ride
Take me up and won't you come on, let's ride

"Lies"

"Lies"


I had another drink after another drink and then I tried to crawl to the door
I had another smoke after another joke and then I couldn't take any more
It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone tried to tell me for sure
I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream
I read a word or two about everything
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go away
And the times that I tried are the times that I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good

I woke up after four, still lying on the floor, and waiting to be carried away
I woke up once again, a little after ten, will things be any better today
It doesn't change you see, it only changes me, well someone tried to tell me I'm sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good

I'm going back to school, I'm gonna check the rule, and see if I get carried away
I'm going back again, I'm gonna try again, don't listen what the people might say
It doesn't change a thing, not any single thing, well someone tried to tell me for sure
I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
But you make me feel so good

I'm gonna hear a voice and know it isn't in a dream
I'm gonna read the lines and get a look between
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the times that I tried, are the times that I find they don't show today
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes, they won't go away
