"Chains Chains"

"Chains Chains"


Jack of Diamonds is a gambling man
He played the tables whenever he can
Take some advice boy stay clean stay out of his way
Little Jeannie is a dancing queen
She's been shaking it since she was sixteen
Skips across the tables acting out her passion play

[1] It wasn't for money, it's only a chance
You take a gamble, got shot for romance
Chains, chains pulling you down
Chain of life that turns the world around
Chains chains pulling you down
Chain of life that turns the world around

Without a warning Jeannie took off one night
Jack got so mean boy, he just had to fight
He died on the floor someone else evens the score
Back on the tables Jeannie's romance had died
That one look of love had told her a lie
And for her there's no waves crashing on seashores

[1 Repeat]

[Instrumental]

Chains chains...chains chains...

"Cherry"

"Cherry"


Gotta give you love oh cherry
dance for me there's only you
play the barrooms just for pennies
Wish I wasn't just passing through

Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden , We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of thei night I roll alone

On the tabletops she's dancing, sit and smile into your beer
Turn around no cherry for me, let me know you know I'm here
We are golden, We are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
Into the highways of the night, making it feel all right
Come on cherry let's make it together
Out of the neon and into my life
We can't play this game forever, now.....

[Instrumental]

Gotta give my love oh Cherry, dance for me there' s only you
play the barrooms just for pennies, wish I wasn't just passing through
Tell me your secrets, tell me no one way lyin' now
We are golden, we are golden
And I'm out here on the road, I feel just like a rolling stone
into the highways of the night I roll alone

"Couldn't Get It Right"

"Couldn't Get It Right"


You wake up in the morning
Look for a clue, something new
Turn on the radio and it's as dead
As the visions dying in your head
And when you were young
You had big ideas no hidden fears
You had your heroes they were walkin' tall
Now your devotion seems comical

[1] So now you' got older
And the world's got colder than it used to be
Every day gets longer and turns into the darker night
Down in the gutter nothing seems to matter but your history
I couldn't get it, I couldn't get it right

You played the game as children
Didn't understand life's not so grand
Love hurts you and you can be the lonely, lonely one
Some people got it easy
They got it made, so unafraid
You'll be the fool and find the winner he's gonna take it all

"Cowboy Joe"

"Cowboy Joe"


[instrumental]

I'm not looking to change your mind,
There's a place, call it home
It's no secret, the world unwinds
Maybe now you're not alone

It's just another day
in the life of Cowboy Joe
Straitlaced to the bone
(This story will not play?)

You take the wheel and play the chance
Suddenly the room's divided
As in the way of true romance
It's always undecided

It's just another day
in the life of cowboy Joe
Shipwrecked to the bay
(This story will not play?)

Every time he climbs back up
Smacked down with a dime
It's evens or odds now
Just ran out of time

[instrumental]

Love's a struggle, there's a fight
No bone of contention
So unhappy, well here's the bite
That's the mother of invention

It's just another day
In the life of cowboy Joe
Strange place to play

It's just another day
in the life of cowboy Joe

"Crossing Over"

"Crossing Over"


I see the lights,
I see the road
I see everything in the
Highway code
I've been whipped
And I've been spun cown
There ain't no religion here
And I'm homeward bound

Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side

Friendships come
And lifetimes go
In their passing to the
Bigger show
The river runs,
The tides will turn
If there's a hell,
Well I've yet to learn

Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side

To dream the dream that's over
Before it's gone
To hold your lover here
While your heart beats so strong
Baby when I love you
When everything is gone
When I'm kissing heaven
This love is never wrong

[Solo]

I hear the singing,
I hear the shout
The talk of meaning
For those in doubt
But amid all the wailing and
The wringing hands
Everybody thinks
Does anyone understand?

Wherever you go,
Wherever you are
I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
I am crossing over
To the other side

I am crossing over
To the other side
And now I am waiting for an answer,
Some kind of sign
Looking for a love
To be my guide
Cos I am crossing over
To the other side

"Crystal Light"

"Crystal Light"


Standin' by the roadside, views are in my hand
Coat I'm wearing's blowin cold
Turn my back to the wind
Winter mists along the coast
City lights close down
Your empty station there
Train line cuts the ground
Train line cuts the ground

[1] Crystal light shinin' bright
Shine on down for me
Good is even passin' by, dying not received
Like a fool I hit that road, took my time to see
Life was only foolin' there

Locust Berry burns my love, find it hard to breathe
The hospital shut their gates, I can't get me no peace
Weaker people stand and scream, stumble in the road
Close my eyes, turn off the lights
Timeless, found a dream, timeless found a dream

"Dance Your Life Away"

"Dance Your Life Away"


[1] Give a dance band competition fox-trotting with my girl
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
I hear razzle dazzle, the session is the trouble
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

There I was on the floor and twenty partners left
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away
Feel so tired it must be a week
Nearly on my knees
Dance, dance, dance all night
Dance your life away

[2] California, you always seem to have the sun
But I never really got near to it
And to turn hand to anything you know
Just to try it

"Dancing With St. Peter"

"Dancing With St. Peter"



She spun herself on this cotton reel
I'd turn away but my blood won't spill
She'd hide away inside a confession box
While a chinaman cuts up the rocks

You may pound your fist at the wall
And you may die for no cause at all
You may worship this meddlesome man
Led to the slaughter
A sacrificial lamb

Love feeds you
Love bleeds you
Slips right through your hands
Love scars you
Behold or be damned

She ain't here she's away
She's dancing with st. Peter
She won't be back again
She's dancing with st. Peter

The devil drives a mercedes benz
It's a tacky motif
His means to an end
He wears her youth like a feather in his cap
While jiving down to that peruvian rap

He's the man of the moment
She's the one of a kind
As life as in death your coil will unwind
So don't call yourself misunderstood
Cos underneath we're all damaged goods

Love finds you
Love blinds you
Slips right through your hands
Love scars you
Behold or be damned

She ain't here she's away
She's dancing with st. Peter
She won't be back again
She's dancing with st. Peter

There's a sign in the night sky
Some supernova
It's climbing so high
That's alright now
I'm stepping over

"Darker Days"

"Darker Days"


Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones

Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones

And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know

Walking on water
Walking on the mountain
I've got no whiskey running through my veins

They take me to the justice
And I wave old glory
There's no sentence for all these pains
Cause I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know

[1]
Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now
So help me please

Take me to the river, cleanse me with water
Because the good Lord has baptized me
I can't live like you good people
I'll bare my soul for the world to see

I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know

Darker days surround me now I'm older
Longer nights freeze me it seems colder
Darker days they will take me under now

I don't think so
I don't know so
I keep falling down like little drops of rain
I don't know you
Tell me what's true
What is real, and what it is you call insane

Take me to the highway
Take me to heaven
I can feel Jesus, right in my bones
Looking for a high class up-market doorway
With no connections, no telephones

And I don't care what it's all about
I don't need to know

[Repeat (1)]

Oh yeah
Gotta help me please

"Deadman Walking"

"Deadman Walking"


The enemy is at the door
The enemy within.
Dressed up in the strangest clothes,
Smells of drinking Bombay gin.

There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.

My father was a Russian Jew
My Irish mother crazy.
I see summer, winter, fall.
When grown men
Cry like babies.

There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.

[Solo]

Wish I never had to leave.
Wish I'd never known.
Wish I could stay here forever.
Watch my garden grow.

There's a deadman walking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman walking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.

There's a deadman talking
And his shadow's growing long.
There's a deadman talking
Taking it in
Before his time is gone.

There's a deadman walking
Deadman walking
Deadman talking
