"I'm A Loser"

"I'm A Loser"


Last train's eleven, it's now quarter past
Why're you tryin' to make the evenin' move so fast
I'm in real trouble but I can't go back home
They locked the doors and I'm left out alone

[1] You can come to my place and sleep on the couch
Lots of people do it and we won't leave you out
Hard times out on the street
Hard times, hard to beat

[1] The painted lies they all hand you
I'm a loser on the road
I'm a loser on the road, yeah

Houston station and it's cold as ice
All night specials, they move you on
But me and Ginger over there
We got this thing where we really take care

[1 Repeat]
[2 Repeat]

I'm a loser, I'm a loser
I'm a loser

"In The Middle Of Madness"

"In The Middle Of Madness"


[instrumental intro]
Don't you really love her, don't you really care
You've been looking forever, how did she get you there

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon

Isn't she so pretty, isn't she so fine
Haven't you been blessed to hold her all the time

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon

[?]

[instrumental]

Have you found a heaven, try to see the worth,
Looking at the future, she's right here on earth

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon

In the middle of madness, when all has gone
In the middle of madness, she walks, she breathes Babylon

"It's Killing Me"

"It's Killing Me"


Living inside a bottle
Strung out on a line
Caught in life's rough and tumble
Blind leading the blind
I wish there was an answer
But she's got such an easy way
And you know you can't leave her
And you know you can stay

[1] Oh it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery
Oh, it's killing me
Oh, love's a mystery

We're hiding from the small talk
And hiding all the pain
With our backs against the wall
Is all this love in vain

[1 Repeat]

When I'm with you you know I try so hard
Not to love you but I keep up my guard
Every single day that goes by
Are we fooling ourselves living a lie

[INSTRUMENTAL]

Please tell me now it's no secret
Is there surrender with defeat
Do you let love pass you by
Walk to a different beat

[1 Repeat]

"Jello Man"

"Jello Man"


Hey yeah yeah
Give up that booze
And take out the trash
Give up the night life
And stop smoking that hash
Give up the good sex
It's a heart attack
Surrender life
Wrap it up in a sack

All dressed up in the king's new clothes
Climbing up the monkey's nose
Standing out like a stiff on parade
You're overworked and underpaid

Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run
Jello man, jello man
Blocking out the sun
Jello man, jello man
Beating on his drum
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run yeah

Stop all the traffic
Put this time on hold
Stop all the press
Cos it's been bought and sold
Stop the revolution
There's nothing left to fight
Will the last man standing
Turn out the light

Standing out with the freaks in the cold
Sucking down on a Virginia gold
The cabaret's all dressed for the kill
They'll stiff you now and give you the bill

Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run
Jello man, jello man
Blocking out the sun
Jello man, jello man
Beating on his drum
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run yeah

[Solo]

Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run
Jello man, jello man
Blocking out the sun
Jello man, jello man
Beating on his drum
Jello man, jello man
Got you on the run yeah

Jello Man

"Just Another Suicide"

"Just Another Suicide"


Just a bad situation
Got me low, feelin' down
I'm wonderin' why
Caught me unawares
No one knows and no one cares
They put you down no matter how you try

[1] Put the words together
Feelin' so strong
I can't last forever
I can't hold on, I can't hold on, no no

Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm

[2] Another night, it's a nervous shakedown
Lookin' for a place to hide
This could be your nervous breakdown
It's just another suicide

Just a cold realization, gotta go
I'm gonna turn and run away
Got me in a spin, I'm gonna lose and never win
They put you down no matter what you say

[1 Repeat]

I can't hold on, no no

[INSTRUMENTAL]

[2 Repeat]

[piano break]

Just a bad situation
I can feel it gettin' closer everyday
Say I'm out of line
(I'm takin' out of borrowed time)
What's the use of tryin' anyway

[1 Repeat]

Somebody, someone is takin' me for a ride
Somebody, someone is tearin' my whole inside
Just a little bit of madness
Do you no harm

[2 Repeat]

[3] Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide
Another suicide, another suicide

"King Of The Hill"

"King Of The Hill"



I'm in a world and nothing's real
I caught a life on a spinning wheel
These tinted glasses will amaze
I see the world through my lovely haze

Well I may forget my earthly roots
I wear the cloak of whatever suits
So here's one for you, the rest for me
I'm like a tick, a musical flea

Lord of the manor
Hey I'm laird of the vale
Boss of the mill
Well I'm king of the hill

He has a wife Yo Sing Tong
Cantonese can't do no wrong
Yet my garden sings in harmony
Don't know how to spell misery

Lord of the manor
Yes I'm laird of the vale
Boss of the mill
Call me king of the hill

Lord of the manor
Laird of the vale
Boss of the mill
Well I am king of the hill

A prince among men
A purveyor of Zen
One shallow pool
Call me Mr. Wonderful
King of the hill

"Kingston Town"

"Kingston Town"



I hear they hung the jailer
The messenger is dead
The piano player's singing
To the lovers in his bed
This road is winding back
And there's no end in sight
No sign of our dead Lord
To guide us through this starless night

And through every open doorway
You can choose
And sometimes you win it
And sometimes you lose

This one's for Rosaleen
With a bullet through a breast
This one's for you, my uninvited guest
Oh now my beauty lies
So deep in her sleep
Will some angel keep her spirit sweet

And the simple things to say
Don't always work out that way
The touching of our souls
They don't drift away

I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Fine Spanish lace and a wedding gown
I am going, I am going to Kingston town
Jamaican rum and a princess crown

"Knock, Knock"

"Knock, Knock"


From liner notes
The tide crashed on the shore
As he held her in his arms
They swore their love would stay forever more
And never slip away

From this moment on
As they made their wedding vows
He knew how life would change, oh
Love was blind for now

Hey, but knock, knock, knock
Put the chain on the door
She's back again and now she wants more
Knock, knock, knock
The thief's back to steal
The shirt off my back, my next meal

I'm not living anymore
I'm just breathing day to day
Everything I had has gone, she has taken it away
Heaven's door has opened and looked me in the eye
And there is no Mt. Olympus, just before you die

[1]
Knock, knock, knock
She's got the house and the car
The only thing left is my old guitar
Knock, knock, knock
Her foot's in the door
The shirt's off my back, now she wants more

And tonight on T.V. well they show a happy pair
I almost wept with laughter
As some fool caught the bouquet the bride threw in the air

[instrumental]

At the final curtain call, in the neon light display
I see all the ugly scars that illuminate my day
And hail the promised land, it's upped and gone to bed
Bleeding hearts and mothers weeping
Sometimes I wish her dead

[Repeat (1)]

Hey, but knock, knock, knock
Put the chain on the door
She's back again and now she wants more
Knock, knock, knock
The thief's back to steal
The shirt off my back, stays in my next meal

"Let It Rain"

"Let It Rain"


Two lovers in a desperate game
She holds him close but their love's in vain
And the married man that you laid
Goes back home to his own charade

She puts her faith in every word he said
Tender moments in a motel bed
When you press the point he says we'll see
But then walks to his mystery

[1] So darling you tell me it's a wild world
You gotta take a little pain and
How long will love last that you can
Never, never explain

[2] Do you just
Let it rain, let it rain
Don't stop those tears falling again just
Let it rain, let it rain
Now you see that love's just a game

In his arms time goes so fast
But stolen love will never last
You try to keep him though you know it's wrong
This kind of love can only last so long

"Let It Roll"

"Let It Roll"


[1] Cold wide sweet highway the place where we'd all go
Went out like a razor sharp and we'd all let it roll
Let it roll
Let it roll, let it go
Let it roll

[2] She'd skid up, and we really let it down
Layin' it out, let it roll

When these wheels get rollin'
Let 'em roll right over you
The time will be sound and I'll always put it through
Let it roll, let it roll
Let it roll

[2 Repeat]
