"Rearrange"

"Rearrange"


Loving you is ever so strange
Take a look at me and see what I have changed
Time after time, telling you
Telling you to rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange

Loving you the way that I do
Got a job to do to notice all the faces
Line after line, hearing me
Telling you to rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange

Loving you is ever so strange
Take a look at me and see what I have changed
Time after time, telling you
Telling you to rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange

Holding you down
Holding you down to one thing
Bringing you up
Bringing you up to something good
Hoping that you would rearrange
I'm hoping that you will rearrange

"Reason For Living"

"Reason For Living"


I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker
And I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there

I thought there should have been someone
But I wasn't quite sure who
It finished me to find there was no-one
That I could take my troubles to
So I knelt down by my bedside
And I started to say a prayer
It was when I asked for nothing
I could feel that there was somebody there

I'm looking still, but it's easy
'cos I know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me
'cos there's someone there to help me who knows
All the things that I am after
All the loving that I want to share
It's so hard but I don't mind
'cos there really is somebody there

I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker
And I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there

"Red Sky"

"Red Sky"


I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was tired and hungry
I was late for the meet.

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling awake
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

I had the desert on both sides now
I had the lights in my eyes
Of the town I remember
Up ahead in the cold black sky

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling awake
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

Well I remember that old saying 'bout how good tomorrow will be
But will I be lucky to see with a red sky's lucky for me

In my dreams there is a picture of me in a big gold frame
And the poeple that I've never seen are pointing at my name

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling awake
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

"Restless"

"Restless"


There are words to say but I swear I just can't find them
Though in my heart I know fools
May hesitate from the memories behind them
While the angels laugh and say, I told you so
Oh, I'm restless, darling I'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that I can wait another day

I cry when the feeling overtakes me
'Cos the love I give seems so little in your eyes
The test of time always breaks me
With nothing tried, and nothing realised
Oh, I'm restless, darling I'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that I can wait another day

No man is an island but you do that very well
It sure takes a fool to find another

But I believe for every heart that's broken
There's a stranger's smile to put it on the mend, then
Those old familiar feelings seldom spoken
Out of nowhere come back again
And I'm restless, darling I'm restless
Waiting for you to look my way
I don't think that I..., the hour is getting late
I can't wait another day

"Resurrection"

"Resurrection"


Sat by a river, wasting my time
I looked at the water and it gave me a sign
I made connection, my reflection
Was calling me back to rock and roll

It was moving, moving along
I looked a little closer and I thought of a song
And my raection was satisfaction
Calling me back to rock and roll

Calling, calling me back
I saw it in the water and I'm hitting the track
Nothing to pack, polish my act Lord
I'm gonna play some rock and roll

I was looking, looking ahead
Staying up instead of falling back into bed
Fuel injected, I've been elected
He's calling me back to rock and roll

It must be something, something He said
That's changing my mind and adjusting my head
A new direction, a resurrection
Calling me back to rock and roll

Calling, calling me back
I saw it in the water and I'm hitting the track
Nothing to pack, polish my act Lord
I'm gonna play some rock and roll

"Rhythm Of Life"

"Rhythm Of Life"


I'm livid again, damn livid again
Believe it or not, don't like it a lot
It's breaking my heart this ache in my heart
Oh, such is life
Oh, rhythm of life

This rhythm of life, this trouble and strife
Is saying to me it's how it should be
I'm trying again, I'm flying again
Oh, such is life
Oh, rhythm of life

No sweat do I get
Not anymore
It's rhythm of life

I'm happy again, yeah happy again
Believe it or not I like it a lot
It's here in my heart, so dear in my heart
Oh, such is life
Oh, rhythm of life

No sweat do I get
Not anymore
It's rhythm of life
Yeah, rhythm of life
It's rhythm of life

"Ring Of A Change"

"Ring Of A Change"


I look back and I open my eyes
I hear the words like they should be heard
And it feels like a ring of a bell echoing through me
I look back and it's never the same
And that's the way that it ought to be
What I feel is the sound of a change echoing through me

Move into the light
Come on into the light
Move into the light
I'll see you in the light, all right

I think on and I think of today
And what today is gonna be for us
Will we find all the peace that is there and needs to taken
I think on and think its a must
That we slow down for just a while
And I think there's an ounce of a change echoing through me

Move into the light
Come on into the light
Move into the light
I'll see you in the light, all right

I look back and I think of a song
I change the words round to make a rhyme
But the song is the same and the change is echoing through me
I look back and it's never the same
I leave the song like it use to be
But I know there's a ring of a change echoing through me

Move into the light
Come on into the light
Move into the light
I'll see you in the light, all right

"Riverside"

"Riverside"


She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
She left me so downhearted there and I really cried
About mistakes I'd made and it's a crying shame
I can't believ the way they start all over again

She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
Without a word or a note, so I couldn't find
A reason for to stay where I wanted to stay
There didn't seem to me to be anyway

I got away from the city from the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be

I got away from the city from the riverside
And it was all nitty gritty there, however I tried
I didn't wait to feel how I knew I would feel
I had to turn around, 'cos I wouldn't be found

Don't blame me or point your finger at me
I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me
Don't you do it, don't you do it to me
Don't point your finger my way
Don't put the blame all my way

She found me so light-hearted by the riverside
She didn't cry or try and I didn't mind
'Cos I just had to stay wher I wanted to stay
And the mistakes I made, I made them anyway

She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be

Don't blame me or point your finger at me
I'm not blind and I see, don't point your finger at me
Don't you do it, don't you do it to me
Don't point your finger my way
Don't put the blame all my way

She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
And it was oh, such a pity 'cos I really tried
It didn't make me feel how I wanted to feel
I turned around to be where I wanted to be
She left me cold and hungry by the riverside
Riverside, riverside...

"Roadhouse Blues"

"Roadhouse Blues"


Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse
We're gonna have a real good time

Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
Yeah, the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
That's sort of people like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, all night long

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Keep your eyes on the road, your hands upon the wheel
Yeah, we're going to the roadhouse
We're gonna have a real good time

In the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
At the back of the Roadhouse they got someone to love
That's sort of people like to go down slow

Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, all night long

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta ease my soul, all right
You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta jump up and get me baby
I know you want me baby

You gotta roll, roll, roll
You gotta ease my soul, all right
I shoulda made you, I shoulda made you
Give up your vows, give up your vows

Save my city, save my city
Right now, oh baby, baby I woke up this morning,
I got myself a beer
I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future's uncertain, and the end is always near

Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll, let it roll

All night long

"Rock 'N' Roll"

"Rock 'N' Roll"


Never thought I'd have a worry for me to be alone
Playing near or far too many times should have known
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it's up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock 'n' Roll and every song
Rock 'n' Roll and everyone
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock and Rock 'n' Roll
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock keeps rollin' on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end

Looking back it can be funny, it can be very strange
Everything we do, it's funny, we never rearrange
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it's up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock 'n' Roll and every song
Rock 'n' Roll and everyone
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock and Rock 'n' Roll
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock keeps rollin' on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end

Rushing always in a hurry, and try to give it up
Everything we do it's funny, it's never good enough
It can lose you all sleep at night
Twelve bar blues is now alright
Now it's up to you to try and find the reason to
Rock 'n' Roll and every song
Rock 'n' Roll and everyone
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock and Rock 'n' Roll
It's Rock 'n' Roll and Rock keeps rollin' on
Waiting all the time to find radio plays on Caroline
They say you'll get there in the end
We can pray, what we say
Makes a difference in the end
