"Bad Company"

"Bad Company"


I've seen your eyes, they hypnotise
I cannot look away
I know what people say
You're bad company

I've seen it when you need a man
And i could lose my life
I know I'll pay the price
You're bad company

You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
You're the devil inside
I'd rather not find

See my friend you'll never mend
And see his look of pain
And you, you are to blame
You're bad company

I've seen the snake that comes away
And lives beneath the moon
And you, you call the tune
You're bad company

You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
You're the devil inside
I'd rather not find

Bad company, you had to be
Bad company

You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind
You're the devil inside
I'd rather not find

Bad company, I soon will be
Bad company

You're the witch in the wild
And you're driving me out of my mind

Bad company, bad company
Bad company

"Bad News"

"Bad News"


I was born in the middle of nowhere
They found me in a sack
I never knew no love or affection
So I never let it held me back
Now the time has moved along
And I'm wiser as I'm older
Well balanced? That I am
I've got a chip on each of my shoulders
I'm on a mission to spread the word
Of the meaning of the blues
So watch out now, here's Johnny!

Believe I'm bad news
Oh yes I am
Oh yes I am

I ain't got no heart to speak of
And my soul is black
So I'll take yours for my own
Don't ever ask me for them back
Once I was good and true
I even tried to become a believer
But I soon found out where I should be praying
The Church of The Lying Deceiver
And when you think that I'm good to go
I put on those walking shoes
To find myself another sucker like you

Believe I'm bad news
Hell yes I am
Believe I'm bad news
Oh yes I am
Oh yes I am

And when you think that I'm good to go
I put on those walking shoes
To find myself another sucker like you

Believe I'm bad news
Oh yes I am
Believe I'm bad news
Hell yes I am
Oh yes I am

"Beautiful"

"Beautiful"


Right from the time when we first said hello
Everything's been what it should and even more
I couldn't ask for a much sweeter time

Then when I wake up everytime my head hits the ceiling
Then spinning around round and around my senses are reeling
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, so beautiful to me

When I look back to the times before you
Take and replace all those empty afternoons
I Didn't know what my life had in-store

Then suddenly you came into view whatever you could do
I couldn't resist, I'm telling you this because it's so true
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, so beautiful to me

Isn't it funny though
Isn't it really something?
Don't let that feeling go
Don't let it go

Now that the time has been rolling on
Were on are way in our little paradise
Things couldn't be any better you see

We're flying so high, walking the sky and over the ceiling
Then I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
You're beautiful, you're beautiful
So beautiful (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To me

You're beautiful
So beautiful (I get a rush thinking of us and oh what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me (I get a rush thinking of us and oh, what a feeling)
To Me

"Beginning Of The End"

"Beginning Of The End"


Happy days are here again
Its official, from number ten
We're movin' in, we're movin out
All change on the roundabout

Looking good, for the press
Gucci or Prada? Let me guess
The champion is a wonder horse,
favourite to make it round the course

Is this the beginning of the end
or the end of the beginning
the way you got me goin'
tells me I don't know
I don't understand any
song that you are singin'
the jurys out, we're gonna let you know
beginning of the end
or the end of the beginning
the way you got me goin'
tells me I don't know
I just can't believe all the records
you are spinning
the jurys out we're gonna let you know

Oo-la-la, a song and dance
push to the front, and take a chance
looking out for number one
see the picture in The Sun

New improved and feelin' good
maybe a move to Hollywood
Party on, all of the time

Who cares about the mess you leave behind?

Is this the beginning of the end
or the end of the beginning
the way you got me goin'
tells me I don't know
I don't understand any
song that you are singin'
the jurys out, we're gonna let you know
beginning of the end
or the end of the beginning
the way you got me goin'
tells me I don't know
I just can't believe all the records
you are spinning
the jurys out we're gonna let you know

From beginning to end
I just don't understand

Is this the beginning of the end
or the end of the beginning
the way you got me goin'
tells me I don't know
I don't understand any
song that you are singin'
the jurys out, we're gonna let you know
(beginning of the end)
We'll let you know
(beginning of the end)
We're gonna let you know
(beginning of the end)

"Belavista Man"

"Belavista Man"


I got a room with a view from the mountain to the sea
It's blowin cold outside but I'm as warm as I can be
Got a painting by da vinci on my door
Got a tiger hide done lying on the floor
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman

Don't need no pills no aphrodisiac
I'm looking for some brand new scratch marks on my back
So if you wear a little dress that starts late ends early
I can be the doctor you can be the nursey
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman
Bella vista woman

I'm gonna advertise my vacancy
Cos I need a partner on the board of my company
When word gets around there's gonna be a rush
So get in early, get in touch

I'm gonna advertise my vacancy
Cos I need a partner on the board of my company
When word gets around there's gonna be a rush
So get in early, get in touch

I got a room with a view from the mountain to the sea
And all I need right now is that special company
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman
I'm the bella vista man
I need a bella vista woman

Home is bringing you back
that feeling is back
all over the world

"Big Fat Mama"

"Big Fat Mama"


Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say you will be mine and I am yours
You think that you're way above me
I'm telling you that I can see
All those things that you might wanna be
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight

You keep telling me you're not having me
I'm telling you that I can see
All the things that you might wanna be
Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say will be mine and I am yours
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight

I got a big fat Mama
With a big fat boy
Really thinks she's something else
But I love that woman
Like fish loves the water
And there is nobody else
I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told
If you don't, I'm gonna bringing you down
I've got a big fat Mama
And there's no one else around

I said say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me

Say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me

"Big Man"

"Big Man"


I know where I'm heading for
I know what I wanna be
When they asked me at school what I wanted to be
That was all they got from me

I wanna be a big man, nobody putting me down
I wanna be a big man

They say love is all you need
But everyone needs to know
If you look a bit tough when you talk about love
I'm sure that love would grow

I wanna be a big man, nobody putting me down
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah

Look around, see if I'm wrong
It's only a show for those who don't belong

I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah

I know what I'm living for
But there ain't no guarantee
If I make a wrong move you could jump in my shoes
And that ain't no good to me

I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah
I wanna be a big man, yeah yeah

"Black Veils Of Melancholoy"

"Black Veils Of Melancholoy"


If I see you hiding in the night by a peppercorn tree
The tree it moves, lets me see what I wanna see
A poison gaze of your mind is all that's worrying me.

The pictures that I see are seen by no-one else but me
To cause the night to be in sight, a little point of me
I imagine nearly anything I want to see.

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

I see you with my eyes closed getting closer and closer to me
I open my eye up and you're not there
It's all in my mind

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

Black veils of melancholy falling on me
Black veils keep shadowing my mind
Black veils that make my mind seem small

"Blessed Are The Meek"

"Blessed Are The Meek"


You know the story about a woman and a man
In a garden living free
The only danger was a stranger by a tree
Selling apples by the score

Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers
It's anybody's guess really more or less
Where it's gonna go
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be

Another story about a woman and a man
The only difference is the time
He had a lover, she knew his long hair was his strength
So he lost it all for love

Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers
It's anybody's guess really more or less
Where it's gonna go
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be

Gotta do something seriously
Oh oh oh can't ignore it any longer
Oh no no, oh no

Another story about a woman and a man
Who can say it's right or wrong?
He was the new king in the making, but he said
Gonna give it up for love

Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers
It's anybody's guess really more or less
Where it's gonna go
Better make a break before we get in big trouble
I'll look out for you, you look out for me
The way it's gotta be
Blessed are the meek, blessed are the true lovers
It's anybody's guess really more or less
Where it's gonna go
