"Devil's In The Detail"

"Devil's In The Detail"



We had great expectations
We had a lavender sea
We had cause and the potions
Prince of the city, king of the keys

The devil's in the detail
Your secret's safe with me
The devil's in the detail
And we're all out to sea
The devil's in the detail
We're at the watershed
The devil's in the detail
Sleeping in my bed
The devil's in the detail
Weaved within the cloth
The devil's in the detail
He's out collecting moths

The gates of Babylon opened
We fell upon our prey
Everything was taken
It was the summer of our day
Come here my skanky toady
Let me whisper in your ear
If you think you're fooling anyone
Baby it's not very clear

The devil's in the detail
Your secret's safe with me
The devil's in the detail
And we're all out to sea
The devil's in the detail
Underneath the stone
The devil's in the detail
Chewing on the bone
The devil's in the detail
We're at the watershed
The devil's in the detail
She's sleeping in my bed

The devil's in the detail
We're at the watershed
The devil's in the detail
Now she's sleeping in my bed
The devil's in the detail
Underneath the stone
The devil's in the detail
It's chewing on the bone

The devil's in the detail, the devil's in the detail
Your secret's safe, your secret's safe with me

"Diesel In The Dust"

"Diesel In The Dust"


My daddy told me "Boy, you only shoot to kill"
I'm livin' just for that thrill
Nobody hurts me 'cos the payback's twice as bad
In this town you don't make a man mad

[1] Ted McKinley's dying
At the wheel of his truck
The engine running till it seized up
And nobody heard a thing
Not a shout or gun shot ring
Just a smell of diesel in the dust
(Diesel in the dust)

McKinley wouldn't back down from any man alive
But you need to if you're to survive
The folks in town wanna settle their score
By using their own kinda law

[1 Repeat]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

No one had seen a thing when the sheriff's car pulled in
Just the silence you get from kin to kin
The preacher bowed his head, glad that he was dead
And the better the least that was said

[1 Repeat]

In this town there was a man out on his own
With no account of how he stood alone
Nobody hear a thing, not a shout or gun shot ring
Just the smell of diesel in the dust
Diesel in the dust

"Doctor Doctor"

"Doctor Doctor"


Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart

[1] Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you
Livin' lovin' I'm on the run
So far away from you

Doctor doctor, please
Oh I'm goin' fast
Doctor doctor, please, oh, I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment
She's turning paranoid
That's not a situation for a nervous boy

[2] Doctor doctor, please
Oh, the mess I'm in
Doctor doctor, please oh, the mess I'm in
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and I can't take any more

[1 repeat]

"Doing It All For You"

"Doing It All For You"


Lights turn red to green
I haven't been spotted I seen
Four more blocks and I'm safe
Make it clean without a chase

There's something special, certain feeling
I can't blow this one for sure
I've been nervous, anxious and edgy
This one's the last one there'll be no more
What I've got to do tonight
Take the car and meet the man downtown
It's easy darling, working away
Before the word's got around

[1] And I'll do it all for you, oh yes I will
This time I'm coming through, oh yeah

I said I'm burning, I been rolling
This car's turned up to make it fly
Don't worry darling just get ready
Tonight we're gonna be going out in style
If anyone comes calling around
Don't answer 'cause you're my alibi
So just trust me, kiss me and love me
Chasing the golden mile

"Don't Want To Lose You"

"Don't Want To Lose You"


Is she waiting now
Do you think she really really cares
Is she standing and looking with her hope
Her fingers through her hair

Looking at the future you and me baby
Life lately don't seem like wonderland
Nothing here nothing coming in
Money goes like a wino's gin
Slips through my hands

[1] (And) I know it ain't easy
I get drunk like a fool
There's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule

[2] Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you
Hold on to this love
'Cos I don't want to lose you

When the lights go down
Do you think she really really cares
As she's lying there with her arms around you
A strange affair

Looking at the lights on Lakeshore Drive
In the Windy City now
Will our love stay alive
Last night I held you in my arms
You looked and said "Baby, we will survive"

And I know it ain't easy
'Cos life gets so cruel
And there's a promise I made you darling now
Just one golden rule

[2 Repeat]
[2 Repeat]
[1 Repeat]

Where you gonna go, who you gonna run to
Who you gonna see tonight babe
What you gonna wear, who you gonna know
Who you gonna see tonight my baby
From the back of a one dollar down
Did you ever think I wouldn't be around
This ain't a stand off ain't no fight
But where you gonna be sleeping tonight?

"Down By The River"

"Down By The River"



It was a blinding light
A sheer tornado of pain
I had a whiskey fury
Pounding like the devils rain

Down by the river
It's alright
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight

Up on a mountain side
I was touching heaven
I was a servant boy
But I was just a killer

Down by the river
I've been turning stones
Down by the river
It's alright
Someone's been catching a rabbit
About midnight

We don't take no prisoners here
Down by the river

Ain't no mystery here
Mystery in this world of mine
Hold on baby
Hold on to this night

"Dream The Dream"

"Dream The Dream"


Mama they say the snow this winter
Beat you to the ground
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone
Wish I could see the blazin' sunset
Falling right into the bay
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone

[1] To dream the dream that's over
To live and love again
Oh my America
And to be where my footsteps lead me over
To be born again tonight

I want to be there on our back porch
Looking on down the road
But I"m a long time gone, long time gone
The troubles here, they pass me by
I want to get home to you
But I'm a long time gone, long time gone

[1 Repeat]

Lonely days, lonely nights
Caught up in someone else's fight
I'm holdin' on, and you're so strong
All I want to be is just holdin' you tonight

"Dreaming"

"Dreaming"


Kids are cruising on the old shoreline
Goodbye-girls killing time
Feel like soldiers we couldn't wait
Running wild, rushing to our fate

[1] We kept dreaming
Kids are dreaming

Sleeping rough out on Brighton's beach
A step from the law just out of reach

[2] We kept dreaming,
Dreaming me and you

[3] Got a plan we couldn't blow
Nobody cares, nobody knows
Made a stand and played a show
Nobody cares, nobody knows

Hiding in the wrecks of burned out cars
Found a compass on the promenade
Gangs assemble in the old arcade
By looking cool we thought we had it made

[1 Repeat]

We ran wildly against the tide
Nothing much just our teenage pride

[2 Repeat]

[3 Repeat]

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Down the alleys to the old stage door
They heard the band coming through the floor
Eric Burdon and the Animals played
In our minds the impression's made

"Dreaming Of Summer"

"Dreaming Of Summer"


[1]
Woke up on a Manchester morning
No sun up on the sky
Caught the train down to London
So broke I could make you cry

When you get right down to it
There's really nothing in it

I got a copy of the evening paper
If there's a job I will apply
The DHS says it's now or never
This is a case of do or die

When it comes right down to it
I've got to struggle through it

[2]
Put the lights way down low
Come closer
Tell me heroes don't fade away, they're forever
Just a little bit of something
Just a little bit of real
Tell me heroes don't fade away, become a memory
So come on darling now
I still need to know
Are we gonna fade away or stay forever

Took a walk down to Soho
I've got T.V. on my mind
It says these days you have it easy
Oh Lord, I must be blind
When it comes right down to it
I can see right on through it

I really love my old lady
Much more grief she can't take
Wish I could take her somewhere fancy
I still need that lucky break

When it comes right down to it
There's really nothing in it

[Repeat (2)]

And I'm dreaming of summer
Of just me and you now

But a love with no money
How long will it ring true

One big city smells like another
I get lost in this maze
When I get home should I lie
The bottle's gone I'm in a daze

When it comes right down to it
I've got to struggle through it

Things look bleak out of this window
Sometimes I wanna run away
And the light fades down this tunnel
It merges into another day

[Repeat (1)]

"Drink Too Much"

"Drink Too Much"



I guess that we've been here before
I still have my feet on the floor
This long evening's cold and bare
Don't we look just a funny pair

And you pull a spell on my heart honey
And there's nothing I can do about it
Cos I love you

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

If I don't come through it honey
Just let it go right

Our shadows dancing across the floor
I never wished for, never wanted more
Your diamond smiles and long black hair
You're much more baby than I ever dared

And if this whole world goes crazy darlin'
There's so much in my heart
And I'll love you today babe

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
Did we do it darlin' till the day we die
Holding on
Holding on now

Did I drink too much
Did we laugh too much
Did I make you cry
Does it hurt too much
Did we hold too much
I'm gonna love you till the day I die

I guess that we've been here before
Oh baby now I think we know
