"Something In The Air"
(originally by Thunderclap Newman)



Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together, now

Run through the fields and houses
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together, now

Call out the instigator
Because there's something in the air
We've got to get together sooner or later
Because the revolution's here
And you know it's right
And you know that it's right

We have got to get it together
We have got to get it together, now

"Somewhere Under Heaven"

"Somewhere Under Heaven"


Jenny's father was a working man
He worked hard to be his best
In the middle of the afternoon
He would give little Jenny a kiss

Somewhere under Heaven
In the eye of a hurricane
Little Jenny would dance in the rain

In the afternoon thunderstorms
The Sun's shadow's movin' slow
She could smell the earth and sky
And off her mind would go

Somewhere under Heaven
In a field of sugarcane
Little Jenny would dance in the rain

One day you're gonna fall in love
One day you're gonna pay the rent
Hold on to what love you find
You're gonna need all you can get

Somewhere under Heaven
In the eye of a hurricane
Little Jenny would dance in the rain

Somewhere under Heaven
Somewhere under Heaven

"Southern Accents"

"Southern Accents"


There's a southern accent, where I come from
The young 'uns call it country, the yankees call it dumb
I got my own way of talking, but everything gets done
With a southern accent, where I come from

Now that drunk tank in Atlanta, is just a motel room to me
Think I might go work Orlando, if them orange groves don't freeze
Got my own way of working, but everything is run
With a southern accent, where I come from

For just a minute there I was dreaming
For just a minute it was all so real
For just a minute she was standing there, with me

There's a dream I keep having, where my momma comes to me
And kneels down over by the window, and says a prayer for me
Got my own way of praying, but everything one's begun
With a southern accent, where I come from

Got my own way of living, but everything is done
With a southern accent, where I come from

"Spike"

"Spike"


Oh, we got another one, just like the other ones
Another bad ass, another troublemaker
I'm scared, ain't you boys scared?
I wonder if he's gonna show us what bad is?
Boys, we gotta man with a dog collar on
You think we oughta' trow ol' Spike a bone?

Hey Spike what do you like?
Hey Spike what do you like?

Here's another misfit, another Jimmy Dean
Bet be's got a motorbike,
What'a y'all think?
Bet if we good we'll get a ride on it
If be ain't too mad about the future
Matbe we oughta help him see
The future ain't what it used to be

Hey Spike, you're scarin' my wife
Hey Spike what do you like
Please Spike, tell us 'bout life

"Square One"

"Square One"


Had to find some higher ground.
Had some fear to get around.
You can say what you don't know.
Later on won't work no more.

Last time through I hid my tracks.
So well I could not get back.
Yeah my way was hard to find.
Can't sell your soul for peace of mind.

[Chorus:]
Square one, my slate is clear.
Rest your head on me my dear.
It took a world of trouble, took a world of tears.
It took a long time to get back here.

Tried so hard to stand alone.
Struggled to see past my nose.
Always had more dogs than bones.
I could never wear those clothes.

It's a dark victory.
You won and you are so lost.
Told us you were satisfied, but it never came across.

[Chorus]

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus 2x]

"Straight Into Darkness"

"Straight Into Darkness"


There was a little girl, I used to know her
I still think about her, time to time
There was a moment when I really loved her
Then one day the feeling just died

[Chorus:]
We went staight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah staight into darkness
Staight into night

I remember flying out to London
I remember the feeling at the time
Out the window of the 747
Man there was nothin', only black sky

[Chorus]

Oh give it up to me I need it
Girl, I know a good thing when I see it
Baby wrong or right I mean it
I don't believe the thrill is all gone
Real love is a man's salvation
The week ones fall the strong carry on

Straight into darkness
Out over the line
Yeah staight into darkness
Staight into night

"Strangered In The Night"

"Strangered In The Night"


Well it was dark at midnight
There was hardly any moon
And no one really saw much
No one was really sure
But something didn't seem right
Something was kinda queer
A roar turned into whispers
Everyone stood there

As the sound spilt the night
They ran hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Like strangers in the night

Well I didn't see no shotgun
I didn't see no knife
But I saw this crazy black guy
With the demon in his eye
And I heard him say "white man"
I've seen that silver cue
You don't remember me well
But I remember you

As the sound spilt the night
They ran hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Like strangers in the night

Well the knife just left his fingers
As the black guy took his aim
White guy's head exploded
The black guy howled in pain
Then everybody scattered
I heard some woman scream
God damn you old black bastard
You've blown away my dreams

As the sound spilt the night
They ran hiding from the light
Like strangers in the night
Like strangers in the night

"Supernatural Radio"

"Supernatural Radio"


If there's gonna be trouble tonight
You can meet me at the usual place
If there's gonna be a fight tonight
Remember what you said to my face

[Chorus:]
Oh, darling
Too many words have been spoken
I don't wanna get my heart broken
Like lovers do

No more songs tonight
I'm driving to the break of day
No more words tonight
We've got enough to throw away

Oh, darling
Now that we two are together
Don't dream this could go on forever
Like lovers do

I can hear you singing on my
Supernatural radio
I hear you singing on my
Supernatural radio

[Chorus]

100 million watts
Yeah, I'm picking up a signal
Yeah, It's 100 million watts
Raw power
I can hear Jesus singing on my
Supernatural radio

"Swingin'"

"Swingin'"


Well, she was standing by the highway
In her boots and silver spurs
Gonna hitchhike to the yellow moon
When a Cadillac stopped for her
And she said, "Hey, nice to meet you, are you goin' my way?"
Yeah, that's when it happened
The world caught fire that day

And she went down swingin'
Yeah, she went down swingin'

Well, she was over twenty-one
In trouble with the law
And it didn't faze her none
She called her mother-in-law
And said I need a little money
I knew I could count on you
After that night in Vegas
And the hell that we went through

We went down swingin'
Like Benny Goodman
Yeah, we went down swingin'

Moonlight on the interstate
She was 'cross the Georgia line
Looked out the window feeling great
Yeah, it had to come in time
And she said I'm never goin' back
She said at last I'm free
I wish ma could see me now, she'd be so proud of me

She went down swingin'
Like Glenn Miller
Yeah, she went down swingin'
Like Tommy Dorsey
Yeah, she went down swingin'
Like Sammy Davis
She went down swingin'
Like Sonny Liston

"Takin' My Time"

"Takin' My Time"


Takin' my time
I'm slowin' down a little bit
Takin' my time
Slowin' down a little bit

Yeah when I was a young boy
Honey my fuse was lit
Yeah when I was a young boy
Honey my fuse was lit

Losin' my way
To somethin' stronger than me
Losin' my way
To somethin' stronger than me

Scares me to think about
What's on the road after me
Yeah it scares me to think about
What's on the road after me
