"Living In The 20th Century"

"Living In The 20th Century"


Oh, 20th century
20th century

Working on the line just trying to make a dollar
Along came the boss and he tapped me on the shoulder
He said I got to make my little light shine
If I want to keep my job, I got to work it double time
Baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

Oh, 20th century
Oh, 20th century
Oh, baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

If you're standing on a corner, well, you don't stand a chance
You got to have a job if you want to make romance
I think about my baby nearly all of the time
But I got to keep on working cuz they can't stop the line
Baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

Oh, 20th century
Oh, 20th century
Oh, baby it's our destiny
You know we're living in the 20th century

20th century
20th century
20th century
20th century

"Look On Yonder Wall"
(originally by Elmore James)



Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
I got myself a woman and yonder comes your man

Now I'm in love with you baby but you don't treat me right
Now I'm in love with you baby but you don't treat me right
You take all my money, walk the streets late at night

Now your man went to the war, and I know it was rough
Now your man went to the war, and I know it was rough
Don't know how many men he killed, but he done killed enough

Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
Look over yonder's wall, hand me down my walking cane
I got myself a woman and yonder comes your man

"Lost In Your Eyes"

"Lost In Your Eyes"


So you found someone
You found some heartache
You found some fun
You had some give and take
You had a friend
You had a fight
You saw it end
And then you're up all night

Have you seen the way she walks
The way she smiles at me
Laugh a while and talk a lot
And you're beginning to see

That you get lost in her eyes
She takes you away
You start to talk
And time it flies
She takes you away

She takes her time and leads you on
And then she lets you go
Time to time she'll lead you on
And then she'll let you know

Then you get lost in her eyes
She takes you away
You start to talk
And time it flies
She takes you away

Then you get lost in her eyes
She takes you away
You start to talk
And time it flies
She takes you away

You found someone
You found some heartache
You found some fun
You had some give and take
You had a friend
You had a fight
You saw it end
But that's alright

Have you seen the way she walks
The way she smiles at me
Laugh a while and talk a lot
And you're beginning to see

That you get lost in her eyes
She takes you away
You start to talk
And time it flies
She takes you away

"Love Shock"

"Love Shock"


Meet me at the station about a quarter past five
That's about the time that I come alive, yeah
Don't make sense if it ain't the real thing y'all
Nothing but the real thing makes my bell ring

Love me baby, won't you love me please
You got me down here on my knees, yeah
I'm so glad that I'm still alive
Come on baby, won't you make me feel good now

Come on baby now don't be too slow
Now I'm in a hurry, you know I got to go
Don't make sense if you don't know how to move
I'm a natural born lover, I was born in a groove, yeah
Oooh

[Spoken:]
It's Jumpin' Jack Flash on the drums

"Love The Life I Live"

"Love The Life I Live"


I see you watching me like a hawk
I don't mind the way you talk
But if you touch me somethin's got to give
I life the life I love and I love the life I live
So if you see me and think I'm wrong
Don't worry 'bout me just let me ??
My sweet life ain't nothing but a thrill
I life the life I love and I love the life I live

My diamond ring and my money too
Tomorrow night ?? belong to you
These girls move me at their will
I life the life I love and I love the life I live

I may bet a thousand on a bet this time
One minute later, I can't cover your dime
Tomorrow night I could be over the hill
I just want you to know baby, the way I feel

Oh, walkin' when you pass me by
Don't talk about me 'cause I could be high
Please forgive me if you will
I life the life I love and I love the life I live

I See you watching me like a hawk
I don't mind the way you talk
But if you touch me somethin's got to give

"Love's Riddle"

"Love's Riddle"


What can you do when your love is untrue
and you're feeling blue and left in sorrow
And your love is in vain, and it causes you pain,
there's no tomorrow
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo....
Do be ah

What can you do when your love is untrue
and she's made you blue and left you in sorrow
And your love is in vain and it causes you pain,
you've no more sorrow
Ooo Ooo Ooo Ooo....

"LT's Midnight Dream"

"LT's Midnight Dream"


I've been in one place too long
With my roots in solid air
And I'm gone, gone
Solid gone

I'm dreamin' 'bout a bulldog
And I'm too far gone to care
And I'm gone, gone
Solid gone

Got a bulldog in my leer jet
Gonna teach him how to fly
By myself, gone
Solid gone, solid

If I live to be 500
I'd die tomorrow night
By myself, gone
Solid gone

If there's one thing I can't stand
It's to be misunderstood
By myself, gone
Yes I'm gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone, solid gone

"Lucky Man"

"Lucky Man"


Oh, the days are gettin' brighter
Yeah, I'm a lucky man
Got the smile comin' on
Reach out and shake my hand

Cause just to see you in the morning
Well, honey it makes me smile
That you keep on keepin' on

Get me down off of this here
I can't feel, it's not too clear
And how I worry when you're not near

But it's all so easy
Yes, it's all so easy to please, babe

Life's gonna be my pleasure
If I can only get enough
But I feel it all up around me
And the pain gets so rough

If you come right here and love me
You know I'll make it true
That you keep on keepin' on
