"We Gotta Get You A Woman"

"We Gotta Get You A Woman"


Leroy, boy, is that you?
I thought your post-hangin' days were through
Sunk-in eyes and full of sighs
Tell no lies
You get wise
I tell you now, we're gonna pull you through
There's only one thing left that we can do

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Leroy, boy, you're my friend
You say how and I'll say when
Come and meet me down the street
Take a seat
It's my treat
You may not ever get this chance again
That empty feeling's just about to end

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout life and what it means to you
It don't mean nothin' if it don't run through
I got one thing to say, you know it's true
You got to find some time to get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you a woman
It's like nothin' else to make you feel sure you're alive
We gotta get you a woman
We better get walkin', we're wastin' time talkin' now

Talkin' 'bout things about that special one
They may be stupid, but they sure are fun
I'll give it to you while we're on the run
Because we ain't got time to get this thing together, 'cause
We got to get together with a woman who has been around
One who knows better than to let you down
Let's hope there's still one left in this whole town
And that she'll take some time to get this thing together, 'cause
Get this thing together, 'cause
Get this thing together, 'cause

We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
We gotta get you a woman
And when we're through with you
We'll get me one too

"We Understand Each Other"

"We Understand Each Other"


We understand each other
Bull!
You hear some distant drummer play
I think we understand each other
Have you no else to offer?
Poor boy!
I have expenses to defray
I hope we understand each other
We have a problem
Yes, but it's not that we
Don't understand each other

Oh brother!
When they say "understand"
They gotta mean fairyland
For twenty tons of silver
She sold him into stir
And when it gets his freedom back
He throws it away over her
When he says "understand"
He must mean some other girl

I'll never comprehend
My putrid taste in men
It's not fair I love
Each little hair and he
Don't even care about me
When she says "understand"
Must mean some other man

Our preconceptions to retain
We're obliged to exclaim
We understand each other

We hear some distant drummer play
Must mean we understand each other
Oh brother!

If there's a problem
We'll admit it
Not that we don't understand each other
Each other

When they say "understand"
It's like wendy and peter pan
Have you ever met somebody
More self-involved than he?
This has got to be a miracle
The man has divine empathy

What could be wrong with me?
I know his repartee
Insincere
He's down
There, I'm up here
But whenever he's near

It's some kind of divine empathy
When they say "understand"
Smells like something else to me
We're talking sleight of hand
Each other's mind
We read so well
We have no time to know ourselves
We understand each other

Though we don't even know ourselves
We think we understand each other
Though we don't even know ourselves
We think we understand each other
Though we don't know ourselves
I hope we understand each other
Each other

"Weakness"

"Weakness"


I don't keep a lot of secrets
But the ones I do will die with me
It's not because I'm hiding something
A trusted friend I try to be
But when every adversary lies in wait to test me
My world they would undo
And they'd break me down to nothing if they only knew
That you are my weakness, my weakness
You're my Achilles' Heel
The flame that melts the steel in my heart
I don't pretend to be objective
I will always come down on your side
But every time I see or hear or smell you
My bias grows more hard to hide
And when the truth must be protected
I find myself distracted
My duty I abuse
And in the battle's clamor
The flaw within my armor
Might shake the secret loose
There's no ties
As far as anybody knows, no surprise
As far as anybody knows, you and I
As far as anybody knows, have no ties
And as far as they know, my will is bulletproof
And I'd be no good to no one
If they knew the truth
That you are my weakness, my weakness
You are my Kryptonite
The sun that shines a light on my soul

"When I Pray"

"When I Pray"


Now I lay me down to sleep
I'm praying lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake
Somebody make a big mistake

I'm only just one little man
Just usin' up the air
Still I'm askin' anyway
Lord when I pray, please be there
Lord when I pray, please be there

Singin' om om my god, please be there

You know I'm just like all my kind
I got a weak and confused mind
When I feel a little pain
You know how I love to complain

But I try to be strong
I try hard to lift my share
I don't expect for nothing
But lord when I pray, please be there

Now I sing for you

"When The Shit Hits The Fan / Sunset Blvd."

"When The Shit Hits The Fan / Sunset Blvd."


Earthquake in New York City,
The Chrysler Building fell in my yard
But when the shit hits the fan,
I think I'll have to make my way
Back to Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard

The IRA has just hit London,
They blew up half of Scotland Yard
But when the shit hits the fan,
I guess I'll try to make my way
Back to Sunset Boulevard
Sunset Boulevard

Cruisin' down a mountain highway,
Someone's cut the brakes on my car
But when the shit hits the fan,
I know I have to get my ass back to...

"When Worlds Collide"

"When Worlds Collide"


When worlds collide, the best of us
Won't be here with the rest of us
They'll drop before the paint has dried
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

The young today, I must confess
Have lost the path of righteousness
By settling for something less
The smarty pants, they fail to see
The posture of morality
Is just like common currency
That's the way it works for me

So I dress like a brushing bride
Because my every move is sanctified
By claiming God is on my side
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

When worlds collide, the virtuous
Will have to take the shuttle bus
But we in limousines shall ride
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

These kids today, they have no pluck
Don't know the value of a buck
They think all politicians suck
But managing economies

Is one of my best qualities
Especially to friends like these
I can favor the ones I please

And if the mandate should be denied me
Then there's always something kept aside
If you have grease then you can slide
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

When worlds collide, the devious,
The cunning, and mischevious
Will mourn the moral men who died
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

The youth today, I must relate
Have not learned to appreciate
The pleasures of the city-state
They waste themselves on drugs and sex
And boogieing in discotheques
I'll take them by their bleach-blond necks
And conscript those I don't reject

Then I'll serve them butchered and fried
For our commander can sleep satisfied
While someone's licking one's backside
When worlds collide, when worlds collide

"Where Does The Time Go?"

"Where Does The Time Go?"


I've got a great big problem that I can't fix.
I think it's quarter to three when it's half past six.
Everything's early or way too late.
Now I never can remember the day and the date.

Never used to be this much trouble before.
I used to watch the clock but not anymore.
I used to keep track of the time I'd lose,
But now the whole thing has me so confused.

I have to find a new job every week or so,
'Cause no one needs a man who's always fast or slow.
Still you'll get no complaint from me,
But what can the answer be?

Where does the time go when I'm with you?
How many hours do I lose every day?
They recombine when I'm missing you,
Slowing me down like a digital delay.

Where does the time go when I'm with you?
Why does it seem like there's never enough?
It's just like I'm living split in two.
Two kinds of time when you're out and in love.

There's only so much pleasure a man can take,
'Til his brain starts to go and his senses fade.

Doesn't need to eat or drink or sleep.
Can't feel a thing 'cause he's in too deep.
Walks around thinking that the world is fine,
While an alien force takes over his mind.

And then he throws away every single dime,
And the last thing to go is his sense of time.
But then if you're having fun,
Who cares if you're that far gone?

They tell me that time's not free.
What did time ever do for me?
And if I don't see that's wrong,
Then maybe I'm too far gone.

"Who's Sorry Now"

"Who's Sorry Now"


You can feel the bodies aching
You can feel the spirit waisting
But it's someone else's children
And it's someone else's problem in the end
You just go about your business
You've got bigger fish frying
Someday you might be a witness
Someday you may wake up crying like I cry

What's the problem?
There's no problem in your own little world
What's the bother?
Can't be bothered
'til your own little world goes to hell,
Then you can tell

We are all in this together
We are all in this together
We got to pull together
And we can't worry who's sorry now
Who's sorry now,
Now that everything is clear
Who's sorry now,
Sorrow unspoken here
Please take a bow

You got so many distractions

You got old friends to satisfy
You're afraid of the reaction
If the others should find out, you'd falsify
Maybe this could never happen
Maybe God is on your side
Tell yourself what I tell myself
That it's justice when somebody else must die

It's a hard life
Such a hard life, it's a hard little world
Some are winners, some are losers
Here in our little world
But you'd sell out, beg, borrow, steal,
Move mountains, if it was your own
It was your own
When it's your own pretty baby

There's no method in the madness
We all can't escape the sadness
Don't surround your heart with hardness
You may someday need someone to sympathize
Before you're crushed by your own selfishness
You must confess

Are you feeling sorry?
Sorrow spoken here
Who's sorry now

"Who's That Man?"

"Who's That Man?"


Who's that man, who's that man?
Who told him that he could hold your hand?
When I looked him in the eye he ran
Who's that man, who's that man?

Maryanne, who's that man?
There's one thing that you should understand
You know many things that go unsaid
By the way one earns his daily bread.

He's a lotus-eater, a plow-share beater,
A rack-jobber and an old grave robber,
A strip miner, a big headliner,
A charge-card diner and he comes from Carolina.

Maryanne, who's that man?
Do you think he's doing all that he can?
Can you tell me after all I've said
That you'd leave me and take him instead?

He's a gun-clubber, an eye-rubber
A bum's rusher and a big ball-crusher
A draft-boarder, a food-hoarder
A strike-breaker and a heavy speed-taker.

He's a black brother, an unwed mother
A flag-waver and a rock and roll raver
A hippie killer, an offshore driller
The new messiah and a habitual liar.

"Wolfman Jack"

"Wolfman Jack"


"hey baby, you're on a subliminal trip to nowhere.
You better get your trip together before you step in here with us!"

Full moon tonight, everything's all right
Baby come on back to Wolfman Jack (Wolfman Jack)
If you want yourself a day man, well I don't mind
You just ditch him when the sun goes down
'Cause the moon shines bright
And everything's all right
When the Wolfman, he creeps into town

Now you maybe want a man who throws round his money
But he ain't as cool as Wolfman Jack
And you might want yourself a man
Who don't act so funny
But he ain't your fool like Wolfman Jack

I don't mean to treat you evil
I'm just a good boy gone bad
But if I catch you after dark walking through the park
I'm just liable to do something mad

You maybe think you know what love is about, girl
But it's nothing till it's Wolfman Jack
And everybody knows, you go round and shout it
That your only thrill is Wolfman Jack

Full moon tonight, everything's all right
(Baby come on back to Wolfman Jack)
I may miss your loving while I'm on my back
But you can't escape from Wolfman Jack
You can't do this to me

Look me in the eyes baby, now you cut that jive
You know the Wolfman's just about
The number one cat alive
You got my great big eyes spinning 'round in my head
(How could you love another man instead?)
