Lust for life
Lust for life
Lust for life

Here comes Johnny in again
With liquor and drugs
And a flash machine
He's gonna do another strip tease
Ah, hey man, where'd ya get that lotion?
I've been hurting since I bought the gimmick
About something called love
Yeah, something called love
Well, that's like hypnotising chickens
I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before

I have a lust for life
Cause I've a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life

I'm worth a million in prizes
With my torture film
Drive a GTO
I wear a uniform
On a government loan
I'm worth a million in prizes
Yeah, I'm through with sleeping on the sidewalk
No more beating my brains
No more beating my brains
With liquor and drugs
With liquor and drugs
Ooh, I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before

And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
A lust for life (ooh)
A lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
I got a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Ah a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life

I'm just a modern guy
Huh, of course, I've had it in the ear before

And I've a lust for life (lust for life)
Cause I've a lust for life (lust for life)
A lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
Lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)
I got a lust for life
Lust for life (ooh)

"Make Believe World"

"Make Believe World"


Maybe I should make it clear
The man you've seen left standing here
Has just changed a new kind of me
And I don't wait in case you call
No I don't seem to care it all
Now I can't forget about you at night

But sometimes I can't fight
when I must I can't help just

Reaching out to touch you as though you are near me
I need you now you're much too far out to hear me
I must let love die I must try but I can't help just
Calling out I miss you as though you still listen
And I pretend to kiss you with eyes that still glisten
You still hold me tight in a make believe world of the night

You think you couldn't matter less to see my mass of hopelessness
I played a part and each line is right

But sometimes I can't fight
when I must I can't help just

Reaching out to touch you as though you are near me
I need you now you're much too far out to hear me
I must let love die I must try but I can't help just
Calling out I miss you as though you still listen
And I pretend to kiss you with eyes that still glisten
You still hold me tight in a make believe world of the night

Reaching out to touch you as though you are near me
I need you now you're much too far out to hear me
I must let love die I must try but I can't help just
Calling out I miss you as though you still listen
And I pretend to kiss you with eyes that still glisten
You still hold me tight in a make believe world of the night

"Mam & Dad's Waltz"

"Mam & Dad's Waltz"


I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I love them I want them to know
Now I feel my love is real for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
In my heart joy tear starts cause I'm happy
And I pray every day for mom and pappy and each night
I'd walk for miles cry or smile for my mama and daddy
I want them to know I love them so
I'd fight in wars do all the chores for my mama and daddy
I want them to live on till they're called
I'd work and slave and never rave to my mama and daddy
Because I know I owe them my all
In my heart joy tear starts...
I love them so

"Mess Of Blues"

"Mess Of Blues"


I just got your letter baby
Too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm goin' crazy
Sittin' here all alone
Since your gone I got a mess of blues
I ain't slept a week since Sunday
I can't eat a thing all day
Every day is just blue Monday
Since you've been away
Since your gone I got a mess of blues
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace
Whoops there goes a teardrop
Rollin' down my face
If you cry when you're in love
It sure ain't no disgrace
I gotta get myself together
Before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch the next train goin'
And leave my blues behind
Since your gone I got a mess of blues
I got a mess of blues

"Mohair Sam"

"Mohair Sam"


Well - who is the hippie that's happenin' all over our town?
Tearin' up chicks with the message that he lays down
Who is the coolest guy, what is, what am?
That's fast-talkin' - slow walkin' - good-lookin' Mohair Sam.

Chicks are makin; reservations for his lovin' so fine
Screamin' and shoutin' he's got 'em all waitin' in line
Who is the coolest guy, what is, what am?
That's fast-talkin' - slow walkin' - good-lookin' Mohair Sam.

Chicks are makin; reservations for his lovin' so fine

"Motherless Child"
(performed with Portishead)



Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
A long, long way from home

Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
Sometimes I feel like I'm almost gone
And I know my time's not long
I know that my time, it's not long

Sometimes I feel like I'm heaven bound
Sometimes I feel like I'm heaven bound
Sometimes I feel like I'm heaven bound
And I wear a golden crown
I wear a golden crown

Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
Sometimes I feel like my soul is on fire
And I'm about to die
And I'm about to die

I'm about to die
I'm about to die
I'm about to die
I'm about to die
I'm about to die

I ain't got nobody to love me
I ain't got nobody to hold me
I ain't got nobody to squeeze me
I'm just a motherless child
I'm just like a motherless child

"My Foolish Heart"
(originally by Martha Mears)

"My Foolish Heart"
(originally by Martha Mears)



How white the ever constant moon, take care, my foolish heart!
There's a line between love and fascination,
That's hard to see on an evening such as this,
For they give the very same sensation.
When you are lost in the passion of a kiss.
Your lips are much too close to mine, beware my foolish heart!
But should our eager lips combine, then let the fire start.
For this time it isn't fascination, or a dream that will fade and fall apart,
It's love

"My Kind Of Girl"

"My Kind Of Girl"


She walks like an angel walks
She talks like an angel talks
And her hair has a kind of curl
To my mind shes my kind of girl.

Shes wise like an angel's wise
With eyes like an angel's eyes
And her smile's like a kind of pearl
To my mind shes my kind of girl

[CHORUS:]
Pretty little face
That face just knocks me off-a my feet
Pretty little feet
Shes really sweet enough to eat.

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

[REPEAT CHORUS]

She looks like an angel looks
She even cooks like an angel cooks
And my mind's in a kind of whirl
To my mind she's my kind of girl

And my heart's kinda filled with joy
Because she told me I'm her kind of boy

"My Mother's Eyes"

"My Mother's Eyes"


One bright and guiding light
That taught me wrong from right
I found in my mother's eyes

Those baby tales she told
Of pathways paved with gold
I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow, a lonely soul
I'd walk the straight and narrow till I reach my goal

God's gift sent from above
One true unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

I found in my mother's eyes

Just like a wandering sparrow, a lonely soul
I'd walk the straight and narrow till I reach my goal

God's gift sent from above
One true unselfish love
I found in my mother's eyes

I found in my mother's eye
