"Spicks And Specks"

"Spicks And Specks"


Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead
Where is the light that would stay in my street
And where are the friends I could meet, I could meet

Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind
Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead

Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind
Where are the girls I left far behind
The spicks and the specks of the girls on my mind

Where is the girl I have loved all along
The girl that I love, she is gone, she is gone

All of my life I've tossed with the day
The spicks and the specks of my life gone away
All of my life I've tossed with the day
The spicks and the specks of my life gone away

Where is the sun that shone on my head
The sun in my life, it is dead, it is dead

"Spinning Wheel Blues"

"Spinning Wheel Blues"


Well, I spent my money on the spinning wheel last night
Well, I spent my money on the spinning wheel last night
Well, red twenty-seven didn't do me right

Well, I went in smiling but I came out feeling down
Well, I went in smiling but I came out feeling down
Well, now that I'm a poor man, I got no frends around

I went high up that lonesome, high up that lonesome hill
I went high up that lonesome, high up that lonesome hill
I need a whole lotta money so I can pay my bills

Well, the spinning wheel blues have made me pack up my bags and go
Well, the spinning wheel blues have made me pack up my bags and go
I had to leave my home town, 'cos they don't want me no more

"Stay The Night"

"Stay The Night"


Has anybody here seen my way to heaven?
Can anybody care enough for them to tell
It's taken me forever but finally you came
I had to look no further than any other man

Don't look back over your shoulder
'Cos the love that you found
That you found darling, yeah
Use it and stay the night
All you got to do is stay the night
All you got to do is stay the night
All you got to do is stay the night

Whatever is the matter, d'you think you've had enough?
So hang on that bit longer, with me it won't be tough
And don't you know I'm waiting, I have been for so long
So if you're feeling better we're off and we'll be gone

Don't look back over your shoulder
'Cos the love that you found
That you found darling, yeah
Use it and stay the night
All you got to do is stay the night
All you got to do is stay the night
All you got to do is stay the night

"Stones"

"Stones"


I'm moving on, I don't know where
But, I've just gotta get me away, from here
So long gone, I'm lost in time
Looking for an answer, waiting for a sign

Stones in my head, stones in my head
I don't know how to break stones in my head

I'm reaching out, I don't feel a thing
The gloves, that I'm wearing are made of my skin
Nobody knows what I'm tryin' to hide
But when I start breaking you'll see through my eyes

Stones in my head, stones in my head
Trying hard to break stones in my head

It's cold out here, still I'm feeling fine
'Cos no one's gonna ask me to come on inside
I don't wanna know but I guess I do
'Cos maybe these stones are made out of you

Stones in my head, stones in my head
I really wanna break stones in my head
Stones in my head, stones in my head
I don't know how to break stones in my head....

"Sunny Cellophane Skies"

"Sunny Cellophane Skies"


Looking up to the cloud above my head
Your face concealed by purple mist that feels like lead
It slowly clears and at last my eyes are filled

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Now you're life has gone
in this world I don't belong
Words are all I own
Now you're gone I'm all alone

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

Sunny cellophane skies
Silver writing my eyes
Bright sunny cellophane skies
I like the way you make me feel
Sensations I thought were unreal

"Survival"

"Survival"


Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew

Looking back up the track
Loving me broke your back
Not a word, not a sound
You kept my feet on the ground

All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong

Letters come, letters go
Who will read, we never know
Another day, another year
The written word is all I hear

Do we all agree with you
Are you the judge? Overthrew
You killed a man, you say you lied
You didn't run, you didn't hide

All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong

Daily survival, years go so slow
Lady Survival, you'll never know

Feeling blue, missing you
Knowing you're hurting too
I'm needing you, you know I do
What you did you never knew

All night long
Time drags on
Love holds strong, I will
I don't write off the wrong

"Sweet Home Chicago"

"Sweet Home Chicago"


Come on, now baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, now baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to the place I love, sweet home Chicago

One and one is two, two and two is four
I got my bags loaded and I'm headin' for the door
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Now, two and two is four, four and four is eight
So won't you come on baby, don't you make me wait
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Come on, a-baby don't you wanna go
Back to that place I love, sweet home Chicago

"Take Me Away"

"Take Me Away"


Charter me something, even a bike
Get me away from here
Buy me some transport and spend what you like
Just get me away from here
Something to take me away
Take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Build me a coffin and measure me now
Or get me away from here
I know I'm not ready to end it somehow
Get me away from here
Something to take me away
Take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

Take me away, take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

A mental disorder, a physical wreck
Get me away from here
The glamorous life is a pain in the neck
Get me away from here
Take me away, take me away
I'm shaking, breaking
Get me outta here

"Takin' Care Of Business"

"Takin' Care Of Business"


You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
And if you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

If it were easy as fishin' you could be a musician
I if you could make sounds loud or mellow
Get a second-hand guitar, chances are you'll go far
If you get in with the right bunch of fellows
People see you having fun just a-lying in the sun
Tell them that you like it this way
It's the work that we avoid and we're all self-employed
We love to work at nothing all day

And we'll be
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime

You get up every morning from your alarm clock's warning
Take the 8:15 into the city
There's a whistle up above and people pushin', people shovin'
And the girls who try to look pretty
And if your train's on time you can get to work by nine
And start your slaving job to get your pay
And if you ever get annoyed look at me I'm self-employed
I love to work at nothing all day

And I'll be
Taking care of business every day
Taking care of business every way
I've been taking care of business, it's all mine
Taking care of business and working overtime
Work out

Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business, business
Takin' care of business
Takin' care of business

"Tango"

"Tango"


When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
When I find a way to take the blues away
What a funny day, what a funny world
And then it all just rolls on and on
It's like an echo echoing on

When you look at me what is it you see?
What are you to do? How are we to know?
If there is a way to chase the blues away
Tell me now, today, sooner if you can
But it still just rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on

Take me away, take me today
Find me a room, find me a view
If it's to be surely you see
Used to be you, used to be me.

When I look at you something isn't true
What am I to do? Where am I to go?
If there is a way to chase the blues away
Tell me now, today, sooner if you can
But it still just rolls on and on
Just like an echo echoing on
