"More Fool You (More Fool Me)"

"More Fool You (More Fool Me)"

I held the rope so tightly
As she climbed down from her room
We said we'd make our getaway
Underneath the moon
I always will remember the night that we left home
And the words of warning ringing in my ears

More fool you, more fool me

New job, new friends and a family
In a house on the sunny side
We played on the wheel of fortune
But it was me that took the ride
It didn't work between us
I had to give it all away
And in the end I knew it had to be

More for you - more fool me
More for you - more fool me

If I've told you once
Then I've told you twice
But I'll tell you once again
Now she's taken away most everything
And I've lost my only friend

"My Joanna Needs Tuning"

"My Joanna Needs Tuning"

I was waiting for somebody this afternoon
Hope that she remembered our rendezvous
And when she didn't show just like yesterday
I do the last, I'll find another way ??
One night I saw the stranger across the hall
I knew he was the reason why she didn't call
I wish I had imagined or dreamt the lot
But the heart didn't choose the pain I've got

Now she' turning me inside out
Upside down
And me heart is all a roundabout
Spinnin' round

She's turning me inside out
Inside out
She's turning me inside out
Inside out

Now he's got all so melt with a diamond ring ??
And she was thinking through almost anything
She's like a shadow going up Seventh Avenue
But so what, she's only going where she's used to
I just got one thing to say just before I go
Since he was the offender, I want her to know
Now ?? I'm watching to ??
I'll never raise a thought of what she'd done

"Nail On The Head"

"Nail On The Head"

In your younger days with your godless ways
And your gold crest limousine
You were making trends with so called friends
With a power so obscene
Then your hollow heart it was torn apart
You were thrown a learning curve
If you turn your back on good advice you get what you deserve

We hit the nail right on the head,
We hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again

Here's another guy he just want us to try
His best to make things good
He's an honest man with a helping hand
From a run down neighbourhood
Then you hear the thud, you see the blood
His good work come undone
Step aside for the one who said
Only the good die young

I hope you don't misunderstand me now
'cos I don't want to get you down
Just looking out at all the things I see
And they keep coming round and round

We hit the nail right on the head,
We hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head,
We hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again

Now we have to go down a lover's road
On a path that ain't so smooth
Many ups and downs many tears and frowns
As the sweethearts look for truth
All the lies between what she believers
Gonna have to take the fall
No fear that she will ever look back
As true love conquers all.

I hope you don't misunderstand me now
'cos I don't want to get you down
Just looking out at all the things I see
And they keep coming round and round

We hit the nail right on the head,
We hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again
We hit the nail right on the head,
We hit the nail right on the head
Over and over again

We hit the nail right on the head.

"Name Of The Game"

"Name Of The Game"

Here comes trouble in the shape of a lady
She started cool but now she's coming around daily
She's got some big ideas about being my baby
It's her game with the name of love

Now she's sure pretty that I have to confess
But no five-star fox is getting me in a mess
Let's buy a ring, she says, let's go out and get blessed
It's her game and she calls it love

Rock & Roll rules my soul
Pushing everything and everyone to one side
But when it all grows old
The chill's still cold
When I sing with my sweet guitar
When I sing with my sweet, my sweet guitar

Don't waste your tears on me, go cry in the river
What you need I ain't about to deliver
I'm my own man and that's how I'm going to stay
'Cause music is the name of the game

Rock & Roll rules my soul
Pushing everything and everyone to one side
But when it all grows old
The chill's still cold
While I sing with my sweet guitar
While I sing with my sweet, my sweet guitar [repeat to fade w/ vocal ad lib]

"Night Of The Wolf"

"Night Of The Wolf"

Streets are full of rain
Lightning cracks the sky
Hear a lonely cry
Eyes full of pain

Searchin' in the darkness
Eyes pierce the night
Calling for her young one
As she walks towards the light

It's the Night Of The Wolf
Hear the cry of The Wolf

Streets paved with cold
Night gives out a warning
There's thunder in her heart
And mother wolf is calling

Searchin' in the shadows
For the one she must save
She cries out a prayer
Like a song from beyond the grave

It's the Night Of The Wolf
Hear the cry of The Wolf

The bells will toll
No one will sleep tonight
While she alone
Will walk the streets tonight

Sun begins to rise
All the streets washed with rain
Still hear her cries
Eyes burnt with pain

Returning to the twilight
Betrayed by the night
Screaming for her young one
As she walks towards the light

It's the Night Of The Wolf
Hear the cry of The Wolf

"No Return"

"No Return"

I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn - both ends
There's a lesson we both can learn - this time
So if you wanna make my day
There's something you've gotta say
Now please don't laugh and turn away - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
And I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time

No return -
So there'll be no turning back once I know that you'll be by my side
No return -
Maybe you'll give me all the love that you always felt you had to hide
No return -
I've come a thousand miles across the ocean
But that ain't half as far as my emotion
And now I reached the point of no return

While on my way down the avenue
I had to stop for a drink or two - or three
Now not that I was stalling you - for time
It's just I wanted to feel my best
And I almost passed the test
I need your lovin' to do the rest - this time

No return -
So please don't ever do what you've done so many times before
No return -
Because I've made up my mind that this time I'll make it thru your door
No return -
I rode above the clouds so far below me
But didn't get as high as when you hold me
And now I've reached the point of no return

I'm at the point of no return
I'm watching the candle burn - both ends
There's a lesson we both can learn - this time
I don't wanna make a fuss
But this is the time for us
I ain't gonna miss the bus - this time

"On The Rebound"

"On The Rebound"

On the rebound, on the rebound
That's how you felt for me
That's how you changed my life
You cut me like a knife

On the rebound, on the rebound
You came, you saw, you took
It only took one look
And lady, I was hooked

On the rebound - it's a replay

Your love was on the rebound
On the rebound
You came and took my soul
You came and left a hole
Where your love used to be

On the rebound, on the rebound
You like to drown in your tears
And after all these years
You give your pain to me

On the rebound - you came to repay
On the rebound - to set you free
On the rebound - to pray for me
Your love was on the rebound

"One Day"

"One Day"

One Day, One Day, One Day, One Day
One Day, One Day

Didn't I tell ya everything was gonna be all right
I never doubted it was just a matter of time
And though I've travelled across the desert of despair
I knew I'd get there yeah one day

How times have changed, I been a rea-rearranging everything
But it can't change the love I felt when I get back home to you
I am the same, it's just a game that I chose to play
But remember I can lose as fast as I won one day

I still remember the hole in the wall
Where we all sat though you said we'd fall
The dusty yard and the broken down barn
Where you and me used to share a yarn
But it's gone now

But didn't I tell ya that everything was gonna be all right
I never doubted it was just a matter of time
And though I travelled across the desert of despair
I knew I'd get there one day, one day
I'd get there one day

"One Minute"

"One Minute"

I left my home on the way to the prayer
One last shot at the great out there
Gave it a chance on a railroad cart
Take my dream to a land so far

Miracles happen in a city of fear
I can say goodbye to my innocence here
Think what I like, gotta see it through
One minute you're down, then your dream comes true

Standing on the corner, written in the snow
Did I make the right decision? Not sure it's way to go
I'm lookin' for connection, a friendly face to say
You gotta give it one minute, one hour, one more day

All the while I'm learning each day a lil' more
My confidence will help me to every open door
I made the right connection and now I'm here to stay
You gotta give it one minute, one hour, one more day
You gotta give it one minute, one hour, one more day

I gotta hold on to whatever I can,
I'm not alone in this foreign land
All evil, all good, that's what they say
Good things come to those who wait
Good things come to those who wait

Standing on the corner, written in the snow
Did I make the right decision? Not sure it's way to go
I'm lookin' for connection, a friendly face to say
You gotta give it one minute, one hour, one more day

All the while I'm learning each day a lil' more
My confidence will help to every open door
I made the right connection and now I'm here to stay
You gotta give it one minute, one hour, one more day
You gotta give it one minute, one hour, one more day

"One More Night (Last Farewell)"

"One More Night (Last Farewell)"

City lights are burning in the distance
Seems they're tellin' me to hurry home
But I can't push these wheels of mine no harder
So hold on baby for me one more night alone

There's time for me to take just one look over my shoulder
One last glance at what's been going on
'Cause I'll be there at first light in the morning
We'll pick up the pieces baby then we'll be long gone

Pick up the pieces and run with me as fast as you can
You know you always said I was the man
Pick up the pieces let's do it now let's say our last farewell
Tomorrow may be too late as far as I can tell
