"Playing For Time"

"Playing For Time"


Try, you get a roll of heartacche
Hear it and you're with my mind
I've played with fire, burned my fingers
Now I'm gonna take my time
You don't have to shout about it
Can't you see it obvious
Feel it's getting close to comfort
Why you make me search no more

Take your time with what you're doin'
I can see the stage appear
Seized and held it on before her
Don't you understand my fear
Can't you see the time will tell us
How it's gonna always be
You can wrap me around your finger
And that ain't no mystery

Playing for time
That's all I can do
I'm playing for time
Before I fall in love with you

You can push me every which way
Hey I got no place to pull
Yes we'll do no rule devotions
When you fax the ace ???
Hold on, that is what the games go
And I want the nibble now
You can get to dream about it
I won't do it anyhow

Playing for time
That's all I can do
Playing for time
Before I fall in love

Playing for time
That's all I wanna do
Playing for time
Before I fall in love

Break it off!

Oh you don't have to shout about it
Can't you see it obvious
Feel it's getting close for comfort
Why you make me search your bus
Travel down the road of heartache
Hear it in your with my mind
Played with fire, burned my fingers
Now I'm gonna take my time

Playing for time
Before I fall in love with you
Playing for time
That's all I want to do

Playing for time
Before I fall Playing for time
All I wanna do
Playing for time [vocal ad lib to end]

"Poet's Justice"

"Poet's Justice"


Aaah! Aaah! Ah!

Cold winds and cloudy skies
Turned to sweetness in her eyes
Fantasies I realised
Came to life to my surprise

Rain came and took her away
Just when I thought she was here to stay
Sun gone I was left high and dry
Love came by and touched me
And kissed me so long

Shine hard October moon
Eagle take me to her soon
Run swiftly silver stream
Find my love or let me dream

Now half of me is all of her
I'd be much happier if I were whole
All my words and wisdom fall
The poet's justice leads me to my goal
Leads me to my goal

Cold winds and cloudy skies
Turned to sweetness in her eyes
Fantasies I realised
Came to life to my surprise
Aaah! Aaah!

"Poor Little Rich Girl"

"Poor Little Rich Girl"


You say you're gonna testify
Lie away, lie away
So you're gonna gun me down
Go ahead, fire away

You say you'll bring the curtain down
Turn around, walk away
You're gonna close this theatre down
Go ahead, stop the play

Your money talks, you pull the strings
Someone waits, in the wings
You flick the switch, the dancer falls
You deal the cards, the dealer calls in your game

Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings

You say you're gonna leave this town
Fly away, fly away
So you gonna shoot me down
Go ahead

Your money burns
Your money stings
Another script, left on the floor
Another face is shown the door in your game

Poor little rich girl
Your money talks, you pull the strings
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
Your money burns, we all have wings
In the game, poor little rich girl
It's easy come, it's easy go
It's a shame, poor little rich girl
You lock the door, close the show

"Prima Donna"

"Prima Donna"


I'll go down fighting but I'd rather be delightin'
All the people who come to see
The Devil's from Chicago, now where the hell do they go
When we get in our limousines

'Cause we just want to be, where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone
They're gone, I said they're gone

You're our kind of people you're the church and we're the steeple
But we're all inside the hall
If we've got what you need then we'll give you the speed
To get up and have a ball

'Cause we just want to be yeah where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone

You're just another Prima Donna of rock 'n' roll
So please let me know when you want me to go

You're our kind of people you're the church and we're the steeple
But we're all inside the hall
If we've got what you need then we'll give you the speed
To get up and have a ball

'Cause we just want to be where it's all going on
But tell me what do you do when it's over and everyone who loved you is gone

You're just another Prima Donna of rock 'n' roll
So please let me know when you want me to go
[repeat w/ vocal ad lib]

"Prisoner"

"Prisoner"


Time has come to say goodbye
To the broken memories
They're locked inside like prisoners
In a place that no-one sees

Stayed up late with a friend of mine
Southern Comfort till dawn
We talked about the things of love
Shoud've known from
The start you arrived

I'm just a prisoner
Don't wanna lock myself away
Prisoner - I get so lonely, lonely
I'm a prisoner
Just when do you think love will stay
It walks right out on you - out on you

Tired blood runs through my veins
But I can't get no sleep
You lock my heart
And whisper the walls
This place I've got to leave

The sky is crying, it's raining
Like the storm in my heart
There ain't no music playing
'Cause I'm leaving, leaving

"Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf"

"Proud Words On A Dusty Shelf"


Stand up and fight
Or you'll lose your right
You gotta stand in a line
Fightin' hard to hold on to your mind

Seek and you'll find
Proud words on a dusty shelf
Find and you'll seek
Keep on keep on helping yourself

When the wind of troubles comes
Put away all battle drums
And stand up and fight
Stand up and fight
Don't stand in a line
Hold on to your mind

"Put Your Lovin' On Me"

"Put Your Lovin' On Me"


Lady oh lady you're driving me crazy
You brought out the devil in me
You turned on my fire with words of desire
You sure put the lovin' sure put the lovin' on me

You're sending me reeling with love that you're giving
Spinning my poor heart around
The feelings that should be, have finally saved me
You sure put the lovin' sure put the lovin' on me

Ain't no use in trying I never would deny that
I love you love you
Ain't no doubt about it I just can't live without it
I love you love you
Yes I love you, I really love you

Don't know what it is that you're putting down
I only know it ain't no game
I only know what you're doing to me
And baby you're the one to blame

Lady oh lady you're driving me crazy
You're flying me high with your eyes
No use in trying ain't no use denying
You sure put the lovin' sure put the lovin' on me
Put your lovin' on me

"Question"

"Question"


There's a lie that runs
Across the human race
There's a truth that draws
A tear upon your face
A child is crying and it echoes
All over the world

If we try to find some
Deep communication
Bring an end to war
And start a new creation
From the truth inside
It's waiting, it's waiting

Suddenly then
The clearest voice will call
Feeling the air
You have no choice at all

Can I ask the question to you
Do you know who you are
Do you know what we're doing here
Try to see the way from within
'Cause it isn't outside
Let your honesty see it clear
Why does anger fit our hearts
With misconception
Turn us inside out in every direction
From the truth inside
That's waiting, it's waiting

Follow the voice
That lives inside your heart
Never the choice
That tears your world apart

Take a walk and be
A wave upon the ocean
Touch the sky and
Feel our spirit in motion
This is the love inside that's waiting
Just waiting

Suddenly everything is there to see
You can be everything you want to be

Are you ready to go my love
Are you ready to be my love
Are you ready to die for love

"Rain"

"Rain"


It's raining outside but that's not unusual
But the way that I'm feeling is becoming usual
I guess you could say
The clouds are moving away
Away from your days
And into mine

Now it's raining inside and that's kind of a shame
And it's getting to me, a happy man
And why should you want to
Waste all my time
The world is yours
But I am mine

Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame, in my mind
See what you've done to my life

Rain, rain, rain, in my tears
Measuring carefully my years
Shame, shame, shame, in my mind
See what you've done to my life
See what you've done to my life

"Rainbow Demon"

"Rainbow Demon"


There rides the Rainbow Demon
On his horse of crimson fire
Black shadows are following closely
On the heels of his desire

Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow Demon - pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon - lives for his sword and his gun

Riding on in the mist of morning
No one dared to stand in his way
Possessed by some distant calling
Riding on through night and day

Rainbow Demon - pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon - lives for his sword and his gun

Rainbow Demon - pick up your heart and run
Rainbow Demon - lives for his sword and his gun (repeat chorus to fade)
