"The Apartment Song"

"The Apartment Song"


I used to live in a two-room apartment
Neighbors knockin' on my wall
Times were hard, I don't wanna knock it
I don't miss it much at all

[Chorus:]
Oh yeah I'm alright I just feel a
Little lonely tonight
I'm okay, most of the time
I just feel a little lonely tonight

I used to need your love so badly
Then I came to live with it
Lately I get a faraway feeling
And the whole thing starts again

[Repeat Chorus and 2nd verse]

"The Best Of Everything"

"The Best Of Everything"


She prob'ly works in a restaurant
That's what her momma did
But I don't know if she ever really
Could put up with it
Or maybe she sings in a nightclub
'Cause sometimes she used to sing
But I don't know if it ever
Amounted to anything

But listen honey

[Chorus:]
Wherever you are tonight
I wish you the best of everything, in the world
And I hope you found
Whatever you were looking for

Yeah and it's over before you know it
It all goes by so fast
Yeah, the bad nights last forever
And the good nights don't ever seem to last
And man, we never had the real thing
But sometimes we used to kiss
Back when we didn't understand
What we were caught up in

[Chorus]

[Chorus]

"The Criminal Kind"

"The Criminal Kind"


You got a criminal mind
You got criminal looks
Boy you better look out
You're gonna get hooked

Don't you ever feel guilty
When you come up short
Man you better be careful
You're gonna get caught

[Chorus:]
'Cause you're the criminal kind
You're the criminal kind
Man what you gonna do?
Where you gonna hide?
They're callin' you a sickness, disease of the mind
Man what you gonna do?
You're the criminal kind

Don't you ever get tired?
Don't you ever want to quit?
Yeah it's been a long time, and you still don't fit
Dog tags on the mirror, hangin' down from a chain
Give up little sister, this ain't gonna change

[Chorus]

Yeah, and that little girl you used to know
Just don't come around no more
Now she ain't there to watch the door
She don't wanna die in no liquor store

I hope they all made money, I hope they all get rich
Yeah, I hope they give hell, to every son-of-a-bitch
That put a man on the carpet
Or stuck him out on the line
Whatever let him get a taste of the crminal life

[Chorus]

"The Damage You've Done"

"The Damage You've Done"


Well I wish I had a dollar
For every piece of my broken heart
Yeah if they gave out a quarter
For every thread of my shattered life
Baby you'd make me a millionaire
But it wouldn't repair

[Chorus:]
The damage you've done
The damage you've done
The damage you've done to me

Well I wish I was a bluebird
Honey, I'd just fly away
And look down over my shoulder
At the country down below
Baby you could make a king
It wouldn't mean a thing
Compare the damage

[Chorus]

Well I wish I knew you better
I wish I was close to you
Then maybe I would understand exactly what
I never did do, honey what's wrong?
What's wrong?

Well I wish you kinda liked me, I wish you'd
Spare my pain - why do you want to destroy
Me baby? What did I do wrong?
Baby I could be a millionaire
And I wouldn't care, after the damage

[Chorus]

"The Dark Of The Sun"

"The Dark Of The Sun"


In the dark of the sun will you save me a place?
Give me hope, give me comfort, get me to
A better place?

I saw you sail across a river
Underneath Orion's sword
In your eyes there was a freedom
I had never known before

[Chorus:]
Hey, yeah, yeah, in the dark of the sun
We will stand together
Yeah we will stand as one in the dark of the sun

Past my days of great confusion
Past my days of wondering why
Will I sail into the heavens
Constellations in my eyes?

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"The Golden Rose"

"The Golden Rose"


Well, The Golden Rose sailed with a broken man
Going south
Got on board with a woman to lead him around
By the mouth

[Chorus:]
And it's goodbye, Golden Rose
Yeah, it's goodbye, Golden Rose

Well, the captain who swears if he speaks at all
Wears a gun
Got a first maid who's never quite on the ball
For his son

[Chorus]

Wish I was back in her arms again
Wish I was holding her tight
Wish I was back in her arms again
Safe from the night

She stood on the shore and she waved to me:
"Come back home"
Many a-night I would think of her
All alone

[Chorus]

"The Last DJ"

"The Last DJ"


Well you can't turn him into a company man
You can't turn him into a whore
And the boys upstairs just don't understand anymore
Well the top brass don't like him talking so much
And he won't play what they say to play
And he don't want to change what don't need to change
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
There goes the last DJ
Well some folks say they're gonna hang him so high
Because you just can't do what he did
There's some things you just can't put in the minds of those kids
As we celebrate mediocrity all the boys upstairs want to see
How much you'll pay for what you used to get for free
And there goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ

[Instrumental break]

Well he got him a station down in Mexico
And sometimes it will kinda come in
And I'll bust a move and remember how it was back then
There goes the last DJ
Who plays what he wants to play
And says what he wants to say
Hey, hey, hey
And there goes your freedom of choice
There goes the last human voice
And there goes the last DJ

"The Man Who Loves Women"

"The Man Who Loves Women"


He's the man who loves women
Women, women, women
He's the man who loves women
And fallin' in love everyday

When he sees a senorita
It's a sure thing that he'll heed her
He's the man who loves women
And fallin' in love everyday

But in the mornin' when she wakes up
He'll be far away
Keepin' his secrets safe
Hey hey hey hey

But in the mornin' when she wakes up
He'll be far away
Keepin' his secrets safe
Hey hey hey hey
Ah ah ah
Babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, babe, I love you

He's quite prepared to mingle
Comes on like he's single
He's the man who loves women
And fallin' in love's just his way
And one of these days he's gonna pay
For fallin' in love everyday

Oh stay away, he's the man who loves women
Oh stay away, he's the man who loves women
Oh stay away, he's the man who loves women...

"The Same Old You"

"The Same Old You"


Hey, I remember you back in '72
With your David Bowie hair and your platform shoes
You had a part-time job, selling fast food
But out on the street you was nobody's fool

[Chorus:]
Baby way down deep it's the same old you
Way down deep you ain't hiding the truth
Just for a minute you had me confused
But baby way down deep it's the same old you

Well you can walk trough the city on fire
You can try and turn away fram truth
Living life like a young politician
Sure of yourself and bullet-proof
But baby

[Chorus]

We could buy a '62 Cadillac
Put a Fender amplifier in the back
Drive straight to the heart of America
Turn up to ten, let that sucker blast

[Chorus]

"The Trip To Pirate's Cove"

"The Trip To Pirate's Cove"


I took my few belongings
We headed out to Pirate's Cove
In my buddy's old Defender
We ran until the gas got low

We were flying close to heaven
Everything was starting to glow
Drivin' into sunset
Rollin' cause we had to roll

I think he was a preacher
But lord I can't recall his name
He was running out of wind
But talking to me just the same

He said five 'll get you ten
But boy you've got to stay in the game
Yeah you got to let it ride
Or you've only got yourself to blame

We lost a wheel in Santa Cruz
So we partied with some motel maids
My friend said I don't like mine
So what do you say we trade

She was a part of my heart
Now she's just a line in my face
They let us go with a warning
Said we'd book you, but we don't have a case

My friend said take her with you
To leave her here would be a crime
But let's get outta Santa Cruz
All I got is a Canadian dime

I got a friend in Mendocino
And it's gettin' close to harvest time
And she was kinda cute
If a little past her prime

On the trip to Pirate's Cove
On the trip to Pirate's Cove
Drivin' into sunset
Drivin' into sunset
