"Like A Good Girl"

"Like A Good Girl"


As I looked across to where she was before
I didn't have long to wait around here anymore
We went to a place that I hadn't seen before
She worked me over then she went away

Well, she looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exception to the rule

As I carried on looking here and there
I couldn't believe she worked it out and it worked on me
I guessed early on but it didn't click inside
She knew my weakness and she knew my name

Well, she looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exception to the rule

As I carried on looking here and there
I couldn't believe she worked it out and it worked on me
We went to a place that I hadn't seen before
She worked me over then she went away

Well, she looked to me like a good girl
I played along like a fool
I paid a lot just to find out
She's no exception to the rule

"Like A Zombie"

"Like A Zombie"


Couldn't see my funny side as far as I recall and it didn't mean much to me
Carried on messing round and getting lower every day
And then a little while later looking for a way to get ahead of all the ups and downs
On the road, back at home, it didn't matter much to me

Running round every corner, walk around every street
Running round like a madman, run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie, running round like a freak
Running round like a maniac, flipping out every week

Well I just gotta get away as far as I can go and as long as I don't see you there
Turn around, look again, what is it happening to me?
Well am I getting paranoid, or maybe superstition is making me feel this way
Checking in, checking out, I seem to do it every day

Running round every corner, walk around every street
Running round like a madman, run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie, running round like a freak
Running round like a maniac, flipping out every week

Now I've been working on the road as long as I recall and it's feeling like yesterday
Giggling, travelling, and getting better every day
Well I was getting paranoid, or maybe superstition was making me feel this way
Checking in, checking out, I seem to do it every day

Running round every corner, walk around every street
Running round like a madman, run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie, running round like a freak
Running round like a maniac, flipping out every week
Running round every corner, walk around every street
Running round like a madman, run yourself off your feet
Walk about like a zombie, running round like a freak
Running round like a maniac, flipping out every week

"Like It Or Not"

"Like It Or Not"


Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?
Isn't it in the way you use it, not the lessons you took?
Isn't it time you started asking what goes on in your mind?

You won't take no for an answer
Nobody could tell you your place
They'd better not turn round and tell ya
Even if it's straight to your face
I ain't lonely but I'm happy if it makes you feel good
But it's no way, it's a fool's way, it'll end up no good

Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?
Isn't it in the way you use it, not the lessons you took?
Isn't it time you started asking what goes on in your mind?
This is the way I want to do it whether you like it or not
This is the way I gotta tell you and I ain't gonna stop
Baby I should have let you find it out, but in your own time

So don't be scared of the future
Everything is looking real fine
I think my way's gonna suit ya
But only if you're gonna stay mine
And you could do, and you should do, it'll make you feel fine
'Cos the best way is the best way, and we'll make it on time

Well I've been really, really wondering am I losing my mind?
Why do we do the things we shouldn't do? We'd rather be fine
We're in a sticky situation and you really don't mind.
This is the way I want to do it whether you like it or not
This is the way I gotta tell you and I ain't gonna stop
Baby I should have let you find it out, but in your own time

And you could do, and you should do, it'll make you feel fine
'Cos the best way is the best way, and we'll make it on time

Isn't it more the way you do it than the way that you look?
Isn't it in the way you use it, not the lessons you took?
Isn't it time you started asking what goes on in your mind?
This is the way I want to do it whether you like it or not
This is the way I gotta tell you and I ain't gonna stop
We're in a sticky situation and you really don't mind

"Little Dreamer"

"Little Dreamer"


You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever

Just listen while I'm talking to you all night long
Right or wrong, listen to me all night long
I'm never gonna waste time crying all night long
Right or wrong, I won't be crying all night long

You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever

You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, I couldn't beat the fever

I've waited long enough I reckon on my own
Tried to phone, tried to phone but you're not home
I'm thinking while I try and reason what went wrong
Something's gone, ain't no good in hanging on

You're a dreamer, a pretty little dreamer
I couldn't leave you, I really couldn't leave you
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, the fever for the dreamer
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, the fever for the dreamer
You didn't gimme gimme time to beat the fever
I've got the fever, a fever for the dreamer

You didn't gimme gimme
You didn't gimme gimme
You didn't gimme gimme

"Little Lady"

"Little Lady"


Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
And I asked her, where you going to?
Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
She said she'd found somebody new
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

So I met another lady and so many more
Didn't really know which way to go
So I met another lady and so many more
But no-one did I get to know
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Now I'm like a rolling stone

Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
Now you know where she was going to
Well I saw my little lady walking down the street
Now you know what I've been going through
Found myself all alone
Ain't no fun on your own
Living like a rolling stone

I was like a rolling....
I was like a rolling stone

"Little Me And You"

"Little Me And You"


I've seen a place in the valley
Pinewood floor and roses round the door
I'll take you there if you'll have me
Maybe we could make it work

We'll hide away from the bad guys
Who say yours true, not good enough for you
I mix a mean tequila sunrise
We could have a real good time

I got a heart full of big love
I got a head full of good thoughts
I got a belly full of everybody
Telling me what to do
They better keep their noses clean
I'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

We'll take a dive undercover
We'll get by, just you and I
We'll take a drink and another
And twist the night away

I got a heart full of big love
I got a head full of good thoughts
I got a belly full of everybody
Telling me what to do
They better keep their noses clean
I'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

Little me and you, well we go back
Back to the schoolyard, that's a fact
The bestest times I ever had
Just you and me and a sherbet dab
They better keep their noses clean
I'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

Me and you, now we go back
Back to the schoolyard, that's a fact
The bestest times I've ever known
You let me steal a kiss and then I walk you home
I got a heart full of big love
I got a head full of good thoughts
I got a belly full of everybody
Telling me what to do
They better keep their noses clean
I'd say they better not come between
Little me and you, me and you

"Little Miss Nothing"

"Little Miss Nothing"


People all around they look at you, and I have seen them sneer
But they don't realise how much I need you, so let me make it very clear
That you won't have to worry just 'cos your clothes are torn

Your windows they need cleaning and the weeds are growing high
But Little Miss Nothing I won't pass you by

You have no daddy to tell your troubles to, but don't you worry I'll share
them with you
We won't worry about the stormy weather, if you have troubles we'll share
them together
Your house is nearly falling, but I'll change all that for you

Your windows they need cleaning and the weeds are growing high
But Little Miss Nothing I won't pass you by
Now I will clean your windows, cut the weeds from high to low
I will mend your rooftops, and the taps again will flow
But Little Miss Nothing I won't let you go

"Little White Lies"

"Little White Lies"


You were not home last night
When I called from the hotel
I tried to get you on the line
Or were you there with someone
And you couldn't tell me?
Just say it's true and I'll be fine

Why, why, why
Are you telling me those little white lies?
I won't buy anymore
Why, why, why
If you keep telling little white lies
I won't try anymore

It's been a long time now
Since we were close together
I see the distance in your eyes
There's something wrong
And all you gotta do is tell me
Just shout it out and I'll survive

Why, why, why
Are you telling me those little white lies?
I won't buy anymore
Why, why, why
If you keep telling little white lies
I won't try anymore

Now you must think that I believe
Every little lie you weave
So let me make it clear
'Cos I don't want to hear no more

Why, why, why
Are you telling me those little white lies?
I won't buy anymore
Why, why, why
If you keep telling little white lies
I won't try anymore
You're telling me little white lies
Little white lies

"Living On An Island"

"Living On An Island"


Easy when you're number one
Everybody say you're having fun
Smiling for the public eye
When your body say you wanna die
Living on an island
Looking at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Hugh he got a real nice place
Cruxie gonna be there soon
And I just want to see his face
I'm getting lonely in my empty room
Living on an island
Working at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Passing time away in blue skies
Thinking of the smile in her eyes
Easy, it's easy

Living on an island
Oh boy, we're having fun
Living on an island
Thinking 'bout the things I've done
Living on an island
Searching for an other line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
I said we're gonna get high
Yeah, we're gonna get high
We're gonna touch the sky
sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...

"Lonely"

"Lonely"


I don't need you by my side
I don't need you, baby I've lied
'Cos I'm lonely, lonely as I can be
My one and only, changing the mood in me.

I can't see you anymore
I don't feel you as before
And I'm lonely, lonely as I can be
And it's only because you're never here with me.

Trying, oh-oh-oh I'm trying
Sighing, woh-oh-oh you've got to believe me

Because I'm lonely tonight
Something ain't right
Saving a place for you by my side
But you're still away
I don't know what to do
Because I'm lonely tonight
And all that I need is you.

I'm so lonely can't you see?
All alone all I see is me
And I'm lonely, lonely as I can be
I don't wanna fight, come on home to me.

Trying, oh-oh-oh I'm trying
Sighing, woh-oh-oh you've gotta believe me

Well I'm lonely tonight
Something ain't right
Saving a place for you by my side
I'm lonely tonight, what else is there to say?
I'm lonely tonight, nothing is going my way
'Cos I'm lonely tonight, what else is there to say?
