"Daughter"

"Daughter"

You and I can see what's going wrong
We know we don't like it going wrong
Daughter can you have sons for yourself
Daughter can you have some for yourself

All your whiskered friends their wings and life
Who knows what 'o' ever reason why
Daughter can you have sons for yourself
Daughter can you have some for yourself

Listen to the sounds of lowry pride
Seen her in the truth within her life
Daughter can you have sons for yourself
Daughter can you have some for yourself

"Dead In The Water"

"Dead In The Water"

She’s got to run, she’s got to hide
She’s got her head stuck in a sand dune
She never thinks, she never tries
She doesn’t see that she’s gonna pull through

She used to laugh, she used to cry
She used to play hot as the others
She used to fool, she used to fight
She loved a wind-up on a Saturday night

Don’t you break down, dead in the water
Don’t you leave town now, though you wanna
Don’t you break down, dead in the water
Dead in the water

He is the one, he has the smile
Keeping his cool across the dance floor
He moves around, he moves away
They move together the rest of the night

He hits the spot, she fits the bill
He tries it on, maybe she wants to
He books a room, a takeaway
Is this the answer to all of their problems ?

Don’t you break down, dead in the water
Don’t you leave town now, though you wanna
Don’t you break down, down in the water

The longest day must end, but that’s another time
Perhaps another life, we may be here again
The longest day must end, we take it as we find
But if we never try we may be here again

The longest day must end, we take it as we find
But if we never try we may be here again

She’s waking up, she’s in a dream
The world is gone, left her to wonder
Did it begin? When will it end ?
She can’t believe that it didn’t come true

She needs to laugh, she needs to cry
She needs to play hot as the others
She used to fool, she used to fight
She loved a wind-up on a Saturday night

Don’t you break down dead in the water
Don’t you leave town now though you wanna
Don’t you break down
Dead in the water
Dead in the water.

"Dear John"

"Dear John"

Everybody was talkin' to me like I was a child
In their words I could hear them saying it's just a matter of time
Any way it's a long, long race been run
Anyway it's a sad, sad song been sung

Dear John goodbye she said, sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

Vanity is a hard old lady, you can't read her mind
I'm a fool but I don't fool easy while you're foolin' around
Anyway I can hold my own tonight
I admit I was wrong and you were right

Dear John goodbye she said, sometimes it's hard she said
Dear John I've broken away

"Diggin' Burt Bacharach"

"Diggin' Burt Bacharach"

I got two black eyes, a nasty cut on my nose
A real funny feeling from my head to my toes
But does she care? No she don't care
No, she don't care, but she loves me just the same

Blind date, overweight
Made me late I couldn't navigate
Red wine, white wine, rise and shine, I got to draw the line
Black jack, clap trap, any kind of flap trap
Big Mac, lookin' back, diggin' Burt Bacharach

We're in a black limousine and onto a plane
Into the hotel, missing breakfast again
But does she care? No she don't care
No, she don't care but she loves me just the same

Comtemplate my Watergate
Two and eight, I didn't hesitate
Day time, night time, underline, I got to draw the line
Black jack, clap trap, any kind of flap trap
Big Mac, lookin' back, diggin' Burt Bacharach, oh

"Dirty Water"

"Dirty Water"

O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep
And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Many's the time I've asked you to say
Why do you feel so bad day to day?
Could it be you're wrong to push yourself alone
I'd say it's not a guess, you make yourself a mess
And get yourself in deeper water

Why do you think it's all wrong for you?
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby, it's alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta

O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, because it's dirty, dirty water
Oh-o-o-oh, o-o-o-oh

Why do you think it's all wrong for you?
Maybe it's in some things that you do
Baby, it's alright to stay out every night
If I could change your mind I'd bring you back in line
To do the things you really oughtta
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep
And I can't swim, if I could then I'd come in
O-o-o-oh the water's getting deep
And I can't swim because it's dirty, dirty water
O-o-o-oh, the water's getting deep.....

"Do It Again"

"Do It Again"

If you ever found anything better than working
You'd want to do it again
Like flying a plane or nude body surfing
You'd want to do it again
That Casanova, he had it right
He'd just do it again
He'd do it again all day and all night
Then he'd do it again

You're gonna drink too much, say never no more
But you're gonna do it again
Trust me, I'm a doctor, I know for sure
You're gona do it again

Do it again, do it again
If you all like it do it again
Do it again, do it again
If it hits you right just do it again

Me, I get time off, I twiddle my thumbs
Cos I want to do it again
I get a rush every night when 8.45 comes
Can't wait to do it again
There is a price to pay, it ain't cheap
If you want to do it again
Well, I sold my sould, yeah I'm in deep
Might as well do it again

Life is short, never complain
You could be hit by a truck, fall under a atrain
Enjoying yourself is the name of the game
Got to go back tonight and do it again

That Mona Lisa, now she could smile
And do it again
She'd sit and grin for quite a while
Then she'd do it again
You is here, then you ain't, that was never in doubt
Better do it again
Daon't take no Einstein to work it out
So do it again

Do it again, do it again
If you all like it do it again
Do it again, do it again
If it hits you right just do it again
Do it again, do it again
If you all like it do it again
Do it again, do it again
If it hits you right just do it again

"Do You Live In Fire?"

"Do You Live In Fire?"

Do you live in fire, girl?
'Cause Satan's in your soul
You treat me like I was dirt
The reason doesn't show

Satan lives in your soul
'Cause you keep doing me wrong
(Doing wrong)

Do you live in fire or is it just a way
To keep me longing for you or keep me far away?
Do you live in fire? Do you live in fire?
Do you live in fire?

When I look into your eyes
You seem so pure and cool
But when I smile you turn away
And I feel such a fool

Satan lives in your soul
'Cause you keep doing me wrong
(Doing wrong)

Do you live in fire or is it just a way
To keep me longing for you or keep me far away?
Do you live in fire? Do you live in fire?
Do you live in fire?

Do you live in fire or is it just a way
To keep me longing for you, or keep me far away?
Do you live in fire?

"Doesn't Matter"

"Doesn't Matter"

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter if the rain comes down
I'll find a reason, find a reason if it can be found
'Cos something happened, something happened while I wasn't around
It could be better, could be better with the rain all around

You had no reason, no special reason
For saying what you said to her about me
She must believe you, really believe you
Or else she wouldn't have had anything to do with you now
I often wonder, just sit and wonder
Does everybody make the same mistakes too?
I may go under when I feel under
So don't you take advantage of the situation I'm in

Forever breaking promises, it's little wonder
To mend a broken heart is heartache, heartache

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter if the rain comes down
I'll find a reason, find a reason if it can be found
'Cos something happened, something happened while I wasn't around
It could be better, could be better with the rain all around

Here's a reminder, a small reminder
Of How things were before you came into view
It was together, being together
So don't believe anything you said makes any difference at all
You had no reason, no special reason
For saying what you said to her about me
It was together, being together
So don't believe anything you said makes any difference at all

Doesn't matter, doesn't matter if the rain comes down
I'll find a reason, find a reason if it can be found
'Cos something happened, something happened while I wasn't around
It could be better, could be better with the rain all around

"Doing It All For You"

"Doing It All For You"

Dawn is breaking, it's time to rise
Aching body, tired eyes
From eight 'til eight I won't be with you
Can't you see I'm doing it all for you

I get home and I need a rest
You need loving, I do my best
To keep you happy, keep you smiling
At least you know I'm doing it all for you
Can't you see I'm doing it all for you

Ready, I'm ready, what more can I do?
Ready, I'm ready, the rest is up to you
Give me some freedom, nothing left to lose
So why don't you 'n I, sit down and cry
Can't you see you're driving me crazy

Tell me baby, i need to know
That you're by my side whatever goes
'Cos I'll be there when you need me
Whatever I do I'm doing it all for you

Ready, I'm ready, what more can I do?
Ready, I'm ready, the rest is up to you
Give me some freedom, nothing left to lose
So why don't you 'n I, sit down and cry
Why don't you see you're driving me crazy
