"Running Up The Highway"

"Running Up The Highway"


Quit my job at the 7-11
3-D vision and a glance of heaven
Picked up my six string began to play
Just one touch and it started to say

All your dreams will come true
Lovely mansion with a pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life

[1] Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see
Running up the highway looking for something
Looking for something I can't see

A thousand motels waiting to trash
TV dinners, well I love that bash
And if you Eddie, just say Hi
This party's open so drop on by

All your dreams will come true
A sunny haven from the Inland Revenue
Hot nights in Paris a chance to dance
Since I signed up I've been living in a trance

[1 Repeat]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

I'm feeling sick like Dawn of the Dead
I've got Marines marching through my head
John-Boy Walton, he's so nice
So come in this must be paradise

All your dreams will come true
That lovely mansion with its pool so blue
A red Ferrari and a model for a wife
Oh yes it looks I was born for the good life

"Saving Me"

"Saving Me"



Some men come from nothing
Some men will not bend
Some will do the bleeding
Til the bitter end

If i was an angel
I could make it rain
Up upon the wild wild wood
Like brother cain

Some men come from nothing
Some men will not bend
Some will do the bleeding
Til the bitter end

If i was an angel
I could make it rain
Up upon the wild wild wood
Like brother cain

And the devils and the clowns
Whiskey rye and cinders
She's the one

Save me from falling
Come and save my mortal soul
Save me from drowning
Oh baby i don't know
Which way to go

No one comes to see me
No one knows my name
I'm the lonely stranger
A visitor by name
No no no
Turn me around
Whiskey rye and ginger
Devil wears a crown
My only crime is sinning
I'm homeward bound
Hold me tighter before i drown

Save me from falling
Come and save my mortal soul
Save me from drowning
And save my mortal soul

Sometimes baby now
I gotta hear you calling

Save me from falling
Come and save my mortal soul
Save me from drowning
And save my mortal soul

"Sea Of Faith"

"Sea Of Faith"


Say sayonara darling
This time goodbye
No bon voyage,
It's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck

From the high plains
To the border
All across the land
From the flying of the flag
To lovers kissing hands

You can cover me in roses
Put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
No more goodbyes
Sea of faith
Where did she go
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow

A street full of whispers,
Rings like a chinese gong
A room full of would be's
Whose lives have gone wrong

The blues don't exist now
Just to cleanse your soul
They were made to wake you up
Not to dig a hole

You can cover me in roses,
Put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
No more goodbyes
Sea of faith
Where did she go
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future I don't know
I am just here to watch the river flow

[Solo]

Say sayonara darling
This time goodbye
No bon voyage,
It's time to fly
I can see the breakdown coming
Like a twisted wreck
Let's save ourselves the sorrow
Before we hit the deck

It's something of a tragedy
It would make you weep
When you kiss your love goodnight
Now I see why lovers leap

You can cover me in roses,
Put nickles on my eyes
There be no tomorrows,
No more goodbyes
Sea of faith
Where did she go
Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
The river flow

Little diamonds
How you shine and glow
Looking at the future
I don't know
I am just here to watch
The river flow

Little diamonds
How you shine and glow

"Self-Made Man"

"Self-Made Man"


From liner notes
I've worked so hard, like Hyde on the chaos theory
I've found my madness quite complete
No sign of light or love divine intervention
While I was scoring on your street

I am the demon of your darkest thoughts
Wired to self destruct
A greedy, nasty, selfish little man
Who could never have or get too much

[1]
But if the very thought makes you shiver
I am just one of the many lost
And I will change the course of the river
And never stop to count the cost

[2]
But everythings light on a Sunday
The choir singing all in tune
But such a small congregation
Will someone send up the balloon

[3]
Oh I'm a self made man
The fruits of yes you can
Oh I'm a self made man
And I'll take what I can

Out of the darkness and into the light
See the army grow and grow
And like a storm, a reign of terror
This ill wind will blow and blow

[Repeat (1)]

I'll take great pride and pleasure in your misery
And delight in your living hell
There's no known act of human kindnes left
My very mother I would sell

I'm not uncouthed, but educated
Now isn't that a scary thing
And elected to a place of power
Your slavery will be my sting

[Repeat (1)]

[Repeat (2)]

[Repeat (3) twice]

"Serenade"

"Serenade"


Hey hey put me in your pocket for a day
Let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Hey hey, I could see the magic in your eyes,
There's a fire beneath these Spanish skies,
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade

[instrumental]

Hey hey, let me mix you up a recipe, here's doctor love to give you therapy
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade
Out on the beach, blueprint of your soul, with the midnight of the city
A thousand eyes look down from space

[instrumental]

Hey hey, put me in your pocket for a day, let me hold the rhythm of your sway
Let me steal you with this serenade, serenade

"Serenity"

"Serenity"




Baby
We're not looking for eternity
So smile now
While you're looking for this serenity

He dosses out here in doorways
Caught between wars
Tells us something is coming
Won't reveal more
She shuffles up close beside him
And kisses his ear
I guess all our time is running,
Running on fear

And it goes around,
Round, around again
Like a magic circle
Till it comes to the end

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity

Out from the marble palaces
Kings and queens Will rejoice
Their importance of being
Their importance of choice
And as they swung Mussolini
Like a chime in the breeze
The pope blessed his children
In a sea of sleaze

And it comes around,
Round, around again
Like a magic circle
Till it comes to the end

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity

[Solo]

And It still flowers
In springtime
Dogs howl at the moon
Now the funeral is leaving
To the general's own tune
All the rich and the famous
Don't know who I am
The jokers and the jugglers
Even the prince of Siam

And it goes around,
Round and round again
Like a magic circle
Till it comes to the end

Baby
We're not looking for eternity
Yeah, yeah
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity
Oh yeah

Baby
A little faith or charity
So smile now
While you're looking for serenity

Oh Baby
We're not looking for eternity
Hey,hey yeah
So smile now
While you're looking for eternity
Hey,hey yeah yeah

Baby
A little faith or charity

"Shadow Dancer"

"Shadow Dancer"


I am back in the circus
Oh hustling days
I look at the world
In a rose coloured haze
Cramp tight bodies
Jive and girate
Bump and grind to the rhythm of fate
And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day

Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
And the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
Back in my world

Married a model
From old Hong Kong
Came to England
Just a singing my song
This love in a letter
Sure didn't last
Stamped her passport
Never saw her arse

And we spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day

Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
And the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
Back in my world

[Solo]

Unlucky in life,
Unlucky in love
No special blessing from above
Fools and horses
Come to my door
I am the stranger
Who sleeps on the floor

We spun in the sunlight
Of our long summers day
We kissed the heavens now
It's still a beautiful day

Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
And the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
Back in my world

Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
My hammer headed friends
And the puppet girls call
Back on my wall
Shadow dancer
The dance is coming back,
Back in my world

"She's The One"

"She's The One"


No use in pretending, it's not been and gone
There's no defending, this feeling's all too strong
Every time and every place, I see magic in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight

Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She had me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing feels better
And I know now she's the only one

Dealing with emotions we can uncreate
Being held under, oh how you infatuate
Every step and every move I see it in your eyes
I wanna see you feel you hold you tight
Till hell ices over I'll be waiting tonight

Oh, baby, she's the one
I was cut right down now
Oh, she left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
Nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[1] Oh, she's the one
I was stripped right down now yeah
She left me reeling
Oh baby, she's the one
And nothing felt better
And I can't forget her she's the only one
Only one

[1 Repeat]
Only one....she's the one...

"Shoot Shoot"

"Shoot Shoot"


Was a fast tough woman loved to play the clown
You won't do nothin' about it
Break a good boy's resistance down
You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down for real
She said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

Convinced me that she was worth it
Never knew I was her kill
And two 45's would do the trick and pay the bills

[1] You know she's got a pistol
Laid it down on me
And she said shoot, shoot, shoot it boy
You gotta shoot it for me

[2] I've really got to get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here
Gotta get a fast ride out of here now

Holing out in my hotel room police they finally come
And there's the prosecution, and my friends have palmed the gun

[1 Repeat]

"Silver Bird"

"Silver Bird"


This morning as I walked, I gazed out across my land
Lying there all still lying there upon the sand
A big silver bird had planted itself into the ground
And being the kind of person who isn't very easily alarmed
Decided to take a walk to see just what I could find
Walked around the walls, tapping to find me a door
Looking for a windows to see if I could find out more
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high fly me high, away

All of a sudden the door slid back and someone was there
A strange kind of being spoke to me in my tongue
"Step inside, we?ll take you away in our plane
We?ll fly you so high, You?ll never have the chance to complain
To leave this earth, never even [?]
Stepping inside I fixed myself into a seat
Holding on, Lord, I heard them engines start to beat
Big silver bird let me inside your plane
Want to fly so high, fly me high away

[instrumental]
