"Another Game In Town"

"Another Game In Town"


I been trying hard to tell you
Still, I guess it's too late now
Reckon all your friends have told you
Really wish that I'd known how
Well remember when i told you
If you ever let me down
Then this player would be playing
In another game in town, wo-oh
This player's playing in another game in town.

Now the other [?] take us
Just like other was to me
If you think I'm gonna join 'em
Hold your breath and wait and see
Oh, if you can spare a moment
Maybe start to wonder why
Then there'd be no time for crying
There'd be no time left to cry, wo-oh
The time for crying, there'd be no time left to cry

Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Why do you do it all?
Fast runner, slow runner, home runner, lone runner,
Don't look back it might disturb you
Don't let a thing disturb you
Oh I bet it gets so lonely
When your friends are getting down
And this player is a-palying in another game in town, wo-oh
This player's playing in another game in town

Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Why do you do it all?
Fast runner, slow runner, home runner, lone runner,
Don't look back it might disturb you
Fast runner, slow runner, home runner, lone runner,
Why do you do it all?
Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Don't look back it might disturb you
Don't let a thing disturb you

Two-timer, three-timer, insider, outsider,
Why do you do it all?...

"Another Shipwreck"

"Another Shipwreck"


I woke this morning in a different disguise and I was crying, crying
You said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
I caught the mirror as I opened your letter, I was lying, lying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again

Scared to lose you but knowing the magic, it was dying, dying
I said it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all
I hear you every day, I meet you at night, I see you crying, crying
You say it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, it really doesn't matter at all

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again

Another shipwreck, another earthquake
Another shipwreck, I understand it's time to admit
Despite our endeavours
Cant find whatever we lost....

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again

Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home again
Another shipwreck, another heartbreak
Another shipwreck, I understand that
I may never see home
I may never see home
I may never see home again

I woke this morning in a different disguise
I cracked a mirror as I opened your letter
Scared to lose you but knowing the magic
I hear you every day I meet you at night
Another shipwreck.

"Antique Angelique"

"Antique Angelique"


There's a grandfather clock in the corner
With a smile on it's face
Chairs and tables, expensive labels
Velvet curtains and lace
Every day when I go in there
I will buy a thing or two
But money can't buy everything
'Cos what I really want is you

Oh, Antique Angelique, you mean more to me
Than everything I have
Oh, Antique Angelique, you mean more to me
Than everything I have

Now my house is an empty garden
And the shop is so bare
All these things that I bought mean nothing
'Cos Angelique is still there
It's too late now to forget her
She means far too much to ignore
Now I'm haunted with memories
That I just can't stand anymore

Oh, Antique Angelique, you mean more to me
Than everything I have
Oh, Antique Angelique, you mean more to me
Than everything I have

Take back the table, the velvet and lace
The chairs, and the clock with the smile on it's face
Take them all and stand them where they were before

Antique Angelique, you mean more to me
Than everything I have
Oh, Antique Angelique, close the door, and now
You're everything I have
Antique Angelique, you mean more to me
Than everything I have
Antique Angelique......

"Any Way You Like It"

"Any Way You Like It"


Any way you like it
is the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
that's a guarantee

I've had my way so many times
I always got to choose
for me to win this loving game
I always had to lose
now it's black and white, night and day
and it's always up to you

Any way you like it
is the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
that's a guarantee

You set it up
you make the rules
You've got the final say
and what you say is cool

Any way you like it
is the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
that's a guarantee

I mend your will into my own
and see my way to go
I've no desire to compromise
but these days I just don't know
I've fallen for the star return
She that runs the show

Any way you like it
the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
that's a guarantee

You make the place
you place the bets
You get to roll the dice
and it sure isn't it

Any way you like it
the way it's gonna be
Any way you like it
that's a guarantee

Any way you like it
Any way you like it
Any way you like it
Any way you like it fade

"April, Spring, Summer And Wednesdays"

"April, Spring, Summer And Wednesdays"


I can't leave, but I won't stay here
If I stay, I still won't be here
I am the grass upon which she lays
April spring summer and Wednesdays
I am the hand which feeds her always
Iam the bed upon which she plays

Nah, na na nah, na na nah-ah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah-ah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah

I can't leave, but I won't stay here
If I stay, I still won't be here
I am the feathers in her pillow
Anywhere I hide, she knows, I know
I am the sunshine through her window
Anywhere I go, she goes, we go

Nah, na na nah, na na nah-ah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah-ah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah

I can't leave, but I won't stay here
If I stay, I still won't be here
I am the grass upon which she lays
April spring summer and Wednesdays
I am the hand which feeds her always
Iam the bed upon which she plays

Nah, na na nah, na na nah-ah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah-ah
Nah, na na nah, na na nah

"Are You Growing Tired Of My Love?"

"Are You Growing Tired Of My Love?"


You never seem, seem to have the time to listen to what I say
How can I know just what goes on in your mind if you always walk away
So what's the good, what's the good of trying
And hanging around you begging for your love
When it seems theres someone else in your dreams
And I can't be sure of you anymore

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

And when we meet, things are not the same now, you always hurry away
And all the friends that once you used to share with me are ignored now,
and you're bored now
I guess we're through, but still I go on hoping
Because you never put it into words
Can't you see you should be honest with me
And I've got to find what is in your mind

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love you once gave me?

Are you growing tired of my love?
Have you had too much of my love?
Are you growing tired of my love?
Where is the love.....

"Auntie Nellie"

"Auntie Nellie"


Sitting here with Auntie Nellie, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say, "Goodbye"
There's no one whom she knows

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

She's getting old and weary, oh it's such a shame
'Cos she's been good to everyone
But now they don't know her name

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no

Sitting here with Auntie Nellie, she is so alone
Talking idly, she's in no hurry, I wish I could go
But how could I just say, "Goodbye"
There's no one whom she knows

No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone, she'd die if I should go
No I can't leave my Auntie Nellie, no
She's so alone, she'd die if I should go.

"Baby Boy"

"Baby Boy"


When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged

When I was an older baby boy
All the girls I wanted were my joy
I would drink my wine, wouldn't miss a night
How I wish that someone had put me right
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy
When I was an older boy

When I was an older lady's toy
Thoughts of lust and wealth were now my joy
And the years gone by are so far behind
But the memories are still in my mind
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy
When I was a lady's boy

When I was a little baby boy
Just to sit and play would be my joy
Now I'm oh so big and I'm oh so strong
How I wish to be where I once belonged
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy
When I was a baby boy

"Back On My Feet"

"Back On My Feet"


I'm back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again, or I could die

When we're up there flying
And it all seems fine
That's the time we're trying
Trying hard, what a fool
Saying anything to please at all
But I'm back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again, or I could die

Is it down to timing?
Get it right first time
Is it so exciting?
Keeping on with the flow
Giving everybody such a show
But I'm back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again, or I could die
Out on the street again, I'm riding high
Worried 'bout anything that passes by

It's not a nightmare or a dream
It's not the first time that it's been

I'm back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again, or I could die

So it's time to work out
What is going on
So you'd best not freak out
Lose your mind, lose your cool
It's the quickest way to end it all
But I'm back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again, or I could die
Out on the street again, I'm riding high
Worried 'bout anything that passes by
Back on my feet again, I'm flying high
Watching my back again, or I could die

"Backwater"

"Backwater"


[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
