Anything That's Part Of You
D Robertson

I memorised the note you sent
Go all the places that you went
I seem to search the whole day through
For anything that's part of you

I kept a ribbon from your hair
A breath of perfume lingers there
It helps to cheer me when I'm blue
Anything that's part of you

Oh how it hurts to miss you so
But I know you don't love me anymore
I go on needing you
Know you - don't need me

No reason left for me to live
What can I take, what can I give
If I go on with someone new
For anything that's part of you

Can Your Monkey Do The Dog?

S Cropper/T Rufus

Can your monkey do the dog, can your monkey do the dog
Can your monkey do the dog, can your monkey do the dog
Well my dog can monkey to the dance you want it to
But can your monkey do the dog, like I do, like I do

He can shake it to the east, he can shake it to the west
He can shake it to the bull dog, that he loves the best
Well my dog can monkey to the dance you want it to
But can your monkey do the dog, like I do, like I do

He can shake it to the hound dog, he can shake it to the bird dog
He can shake it to the bull dog, yeah any kind of dog
My dog can monkey to the dance you want it to
But can your monkey do the dog, like I do, like I do, yeah

I'll bring my monkey I'll bring my dog, I'll bring my monkey I'll bring my dog
Come on baby come on now, come on baby come on now
My dog can monkey just like you
But can your monkey do the dog, like I do, like I do

Woh oh-oh-oh, woh oh-oh-oh-woh
Woh oh-oh-oh, woh oh-oh-oh-woh
My dog can monkey just like you
But can your monkey do the dog, like I do, like I do

Candy
Dalley

She lives just down the block from me
And every day I wait to see her
Hurrying by on her way to the city
I've never seen a girl as pretty as Candy

Candy, you're the girl I can't forget
Though we've hardly ever met
I've always longed to hold you
I'm the boy who lives next door

Candy, I have waited patiently
Hoping that you notice me
Now it's time I told you
You're the one I've waited for I watched you for a while
And then I saw you smile
The boys admire your style

Oh I'm gonna kiss you if I wait all night
I'm gonna hold you in my arms so tight
Maybe I'm wrong but it feels so right
To want your loving so

Candy, I will love you tenderly
If you'll only stay with me
Just a little bit longer
Just a little bit more

Oh I'm gonna kiss you if I wait all night
I'm gonna hold you in my arms so tight
Maybe I'm wrong but it feels so right
To want your loving so

Candy, I will love you tenderly
If you'll only stay with me
Just a little bit longer
Just a little bit more
Candy, be my sugar candy
Hmmm, pretty little Candy
Well be my Candy
Hmmm, sugar Candy

Chains On My Heart

Steve Brett

I can see that you and me
We'll be together forever and ever, you'll see
When we start a new life together

Time's gone by when foolish pride tore us apart
And I thought forever I'd be so free
I've got chains on my heart and you've got the key

Chains on my heart, chains on my heart
Only you could open the door to my heart
Locked since you went away, oh yeah
But now you're back and I can feel
Everything's going my way, yeah

I can see that you and me
We'll be together forever and ever, you'll see
When we start a new life together

Don't Leave Me Now
Hill / Howells

Don't leave me now, now that I'm lonely
Don't leave me now, now that I'm blue
Don't leave me now, can't you see I need you
Don't leave me now, now that I'm blue

Said that you'd love me forever, ever and a day (ever and a day)
Said you'd always please me, said you'd never leave me
Said you'd never go away

Don't leave me now, now that I'm lonely
Don't leave me now, now that I'm blue

Said that you'd love me forever, ever and a day (ever and a day)
Said you'd always please me, said you'd never leave me
Said you'd never go away

Don't leave me now, now that I'm lonely
Don't leave me now, now that I'm blue
Don't leave me now, don't you be so cruel
Don't leave me now, don't treat me like a fool

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
(Don't leave me now, don't leave me now)
(Don't leave me now, don't leave me now)
(Don't leave me now, don't leave me now)

Sugar Shack

McCormack / Voss

Oh there's a crazy little shack beyond the track
And everybody calls it the sugar shack
Well it's just a coffee-house and it's made out of wood
Espresso coffee tastes a-mighty good

But that's not the reason that I got to get back
To that sugar shack, woh baby, to that sugar shack

Well there's the sweetest little girl and she's a-working there
Her black lean calves and her feet are bare
I'm gonna drink a lot of coffee and spend a little cash
And make that girl love me when I put on some trash

But that's just the reason that I got to get back
To that sugar shack, woh baby, to that sugar shack

Well my my sugar shack queen she's a-married to me, yeah yeah
We just sit around and dream a lot, those old memories
But a-one of these days I'm gonna lay down tracks
In the direction of that sugar shack

Yes me and my babe oh we're gonna go back
To that sugar shack, woh baby, to that sugar shack, yeah

Well there's a crazy little shack beyond the track
And everybody calls it the sugar shack
Well it's just a coffee-house and it's made out of wood
Espresso coffee tastes a-mighty good

But that's not the reason that I got to get back
To that sugar shack, woh baby, to that sugar shack

Yeah honey, to that sugar shack
Woh-yeah to that sugar shack

Take A Heart

Dallon

First you take a heart, then you break her heart
But before you do, you make it fall for you
Then you give it back, ahh you shouldn't do that

Seen you walk that floor just a-thinking of you
You seen me walk that floor baby, right out of my school
Somebody help me please, tell me what to do

Just send an S.O.S., my heart's in distress
Won't somebody please take her place
Well I found her there, searching everywhere

Watch you breaking my heart baby
First you take a heart, then you break her heart
But before you do, you make it fall for you
Then you give it back, ahh you shouldn't do that

Seen you walk that floor just a-thinking of you
You seen me walk that floor baby, right out of my school
Somebody help me please, tell me what to do

Send me an S.O.S., my heart's in distress
Won't somebody please take her place
Well I found her there, searching everywhere

Oh you shouldn't do that (oh you shouldn't do that)
Oh you shouldn't do that (oh you shouldn't do that)
Oh you shouldn't do that baby (oh you shouldn't do that)
Oh you shouldn't do that

You know you broke my heart, you made me fall for you
You know you shouldn't do that
You know you shouldn't do that

Take Your Time
Petty / Holly

Take your time, I can't wait
For all the love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Take your time, take mine too
Heart strings would sing like a string of twine
If you take your time

Take your time, take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, or we'll be blue
Until all times end

Take your time, I can't wait
For all the love I know will be mine
If you take your time

Take your time, take mine too
I have time to spend
Take your time, or we'll be blue
Until all times' end

Take your time, I can't wait
For all the love I know will be mine
If you take your time If you take your time
If you take your time

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it's twilight time
When purple coloured curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Darkening shadows gather splendour as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till I'll be with you
Together, at last, at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Out in the dark your kiss will thrill me, like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me, with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together, at last, at twilight time

Here, in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Out in the dark your kiss will thrill me, like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me, with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together, at last, at twilight time

Together, at last, at twilight time

Ugly Girl

Fowley / Powell / Hill / Holder / Lea

Spoken
Children, this is a song about the ugliest girl in the world
She is our Fan Club President in Afghanistan
An' she's kinda ugly, real ugly, now listen closely everybody
An' you can see how beautiful ugliness is

She's got big green eyes all over her face
She's got a-long red ears all over the place
She's got a big fat nose, and I don't know what to do with it, honey
Those teeth hangin' down, they look like money

You know, you can tell we love her can't you
Let's have a little harmony from the other voices …
My baby … so ugly, you can imagine, her mother didn't like her either
Listen everybody, not everbody can have an ugly girl
Any idiot can have a pretty girl
Let's have some more pretty singin' gentlemen

She's got a-thin legs an' they're, er, also, er, thighs
They're a-walkin' baby all the night
Her feet are large, they're extra size
An' baby, er, they idolise but don't you know I want her so
Oh, I still love that girl … hit it

She's about the ugliest girl, here she comes
Listen to her stamp like a thousand elephants
Like ten million jet planes whenever she talks
She's my special, extra special
Groovy jet-age supersonic monster baby-child
Oh she's so nice
We're leavin' you now
We're gonna fade away
We're gonna fade away …
Buy our next record, it's even groovier than this one, ha
We're goin' to fade away
Fade away ...

As I was walking down the street
I started thinking of the times we used to meet
I started thinking of the love we knew
Remembering things we used to do
That's why I'm wishing that you were mine again

Hoping that someday you'll come back to me to stay
That's why I'm wishing that you were mine again

Why can't you love me like the way you used to do
Try to remember and I know you'll feel it too
Then you'll come back and be happy too
And we'll be one, just me and you
That's why I'm wishing that you were mine again

Hoping that someday you'll come back to me to stay
That's why I'm wishing that you were mine again

That's why I'm wishing that you were mine again

You Better Run
Cavaliere / Brigatti

What you trying to do to my heart
What you trying to do to my heart
You fool around you're telling lies
You're going round with the other guys
What you trying to do to my heart

You better run
You better hide
You better leave my side What you trying to do to my soul
What you trying to do to my soul
Everything I had was yours
Now I'm closing all the doors
What you trying to do to my soul

You better run
You better hide
You better leave my side

I love you girl I love you so
Can't you see don't you know
I can't stand your alibis
You're telling lies drive me wild

What you trying to do to my head
What you trying to do to my head
Now I'm gonna draw that line
You're not gonna take my mind
What you trying to do to my head

You better run
You better hide
You better leave my side

You Don't Believe Me

Merrell/Page/Graham/May

You don't believe me when I say “I love you, babe”
You don't believe the things I say to you babe
To make you understand now is all I ask you to do
Don't leave me in between your …

You don't believe me when I say “I want you, babe”
You don't believe me even when I kiss you babe
You've got to help yourself, I've tried so much to make it now
I'm true to you …

I'll never leave you, I won't try to deceive you, girl … oh no, no

You don't believe me when I say “I love you, babe”
You don't believe the things I say to you babe
To make you understand now is all I ask you to do
Don't leave me in between your …

RETURN TO BASE / WE'LL BRING THE HOUSE DOWN

WHEELS AIN'T COMING DOWN

We were leavin' LA airport, me and Midlands Misery (Jimmy Lea)
On an early mornin' plane flight out to some Radio XYZ
Was a 1950's prop job that had seen much better days
When we came on into the last approach, saw the runway thru the haze

And the wheels ain't comin' down.
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes.
And the wheels ain't comin' down.
And you realise you wanna stay alive - you wanna stay alive

Women weepin' children playin' as we roared into a climb.
Men was playin', we were drinkin' lots and it never cost a dime.
Alter course for San Francisco, standin' by on red alert.
Gonna chance a landin' on the sea, hopin' nobody gets hurt.

And the wheels ain't comin' down.
All of my nine lives passed before my eyes.
And the wheels ain't comin' down.
And you realise you wanna stay alive - you wanna stay alive
Wanna stay alive
Stay alive

We applauded Chuck the Captain, when our feet had touched the ground.
And I won't forget the moment he said, 'It's OK folks, the wheels are comin' down.'

And the wheels they're comin' down
And you realise it's good to be alive
And the wheels they're comin' down
And you realise you're gonna still survive
It's good to be alive
S'good to be alive
They're comin' down
They're comin'on down
They're comin'on down
They're comin'on down

HOLD ONTO YOUR HATS

CHAKEETA

When you gaze right into your crystal ball,
Show me what you see.
Tell me that piece of glass can tell ya all
It ain't 'make love to me'.

When you open up your gypsy eyes
I can't look away
Using that magic spell to hypnotise
You can make me stay

Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me

Listen, your voodoo heart beating too fast
Beating in my bar
All o' them hoodoo curses, they made to last
Throw away your charms

Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me

Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me

With your rhythmic vibration, your fascination
You can see how I'm still here
Take into a-consideration, infatuation
It won't disappear

Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me

Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta - you put the hurt on me
you put the hurt on me
Hey Chakeeta - Chakeeta Chakeeta
One look at your gipsy eyes
You cast your spell, I'm hypnotised
Gaze into your crystal ball
That piece of glass can't tell you all
You put the hurt on me
You put the hurt on me

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME (BACK SEAT STAR)

Don't waste your time honey - don't waste your time
You're gettin' caught up on a merry go round and I know you like the feelin'
Goin' up goin' down

Don't waste your time honey - find a new line
'Come up and see me sometime' just ain't your style
And I know there used to be a time when you'd run a mile

And you been ridin' in them rock and roll cars
You wanna be a back seat star
And 'cos you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you got it, you think you got it

Made on page three honey, for all to see
Your finer points are gonna make someone's day
And I know a place to advertise the goods on display

And you been ridin' in them rock and roll cars
You wanna be a back seat star
And 'cos you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you got it, you think you got it made . . . .

Remember you're lost without your love
Remember the cost without your love
Remember you're lost without your love

Ah honey honey
Ah honey honey
Yay

Don't spoil your fun, honey honey ....
A and don't jump the gun.
A tricky dicky situation arrives and
I know that all you're gonna get's a great big surprise

And you been ridin' in them rock and roll cars
You wanna be a back seat star
And 'cos you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you got it, you think you got it made . . . .

And you been ridin' in them rock and roll cars
You wanna be a back seat star
And 'cos you ain't got into trouble so far
So you think you got it, you think you got it made . . . .

Don't waste your time - find a new line.
Don't jump the gun - honey honey - don't spoil your fun.
Don't waste your time - Ooooo, find a new line.
Don't waste your time honey, don't waste your time.
Don't waste your time.

We're gonna do a little bit of rock and roll............... yah!

I heard it on the news - I heard it on the news - nuts bolts and screws - I heard it on the news
I heard it on the news - I heard it on the news - nuts bolts and screws - I heard it on the news

All he needed was a little bit of company
Just to help take away some of the misery
All he wanted was a little bit of ecstacy
And he's surely gonna find it, surely gonna find it

Joey got a shot in the arm
And now he's sleepin' back at the farm
Still knows he can do it, I guess he always knew it
He never done nobody no harm

I'M MAD

I got strange excited dreams, with such strange erotic scenes, gonna sleep all day.
I get notions by the score, mostly dead against the law - do them anyway
So I took a trip to see Kane's Xanadu, 'cos at the time there wasn't very much to do
I think I'm coming down, coming down

I get weird imaginings about all different kings of things, but I'm always try
To get fantasising thoughts, maybe Bardot in her shorts, like a natural guy
So I took a trip to Tutankhamun's tomb.
He was alone and said he hoped I'd come back soon

I'm mad - this pounding in my brain - will somebody explain, the way back to reality?
Hey you, you keep it oh so clean, your mind is so obscene - You'll find another change in me.
I think I'm comin' down, lookin' straight ahead (I think I'm comin' down)
The room is spinnin' round, them blues'll knock me dead - Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(I'm goin' mad, out of my head, I'm goin' mad)
Cos now I've given back the Top Hat to Astaire
Oh not that I expected you to really care

I'm mad - this pounding in my brain
Will somebody explain, the way back to reality?
Hey you, you keep your nose so clean, your mind is so obscene
You'll find another change in me.
I think I'm comin' down, (I think I'm comin' down) lookin' straight ahead (Goin' out my head)
The room is spinnin' round, them blues'll knock me dead
Yeah yeah yeah yeah

(I'm goin' mad, out of my head, I'm goin' mad)
(I'm goin' mad, out of my head, I'm goin' mad)

NON-ALBUM TRACKS

A whole lotta woman

Burning in the heat of love
Holder / Lea

Sun's above the fire's below
The earth is quaking, shimmy shaking to and fro
And if in doubt, you check it out
This crazy thing called love the fuss is all about

I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love

I'm cool above, I'm hot below
My knees are knocking, shocking tremelo
We wined and dined and 69'd
This red hot pleasing shot a tingle right up my spine

I'm burning in the heat, driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
I'm burning in the heat of love

Hey you over there - I remember your .... eyes
You look so good when they were closed

I'm smoking above, I'm steaming below
My back is aching, busy making ecstasy flow
I'm taking a tip, I finally got hip
The only real L.O.V.E. is caught in my zip ... oww!

I'm burning in the heat, driven by the beat
Can't you see I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the heat driven by the beat
I'm burning in the heat of love

I'm burning burning burning burning
I'm burning in the heat of love
I'm burning in the fire, that's my desire
I'm burning in the heat of love

Get lucky you teaser - You gonna give me some lip?
Ooh I like your mind - It's your body I can't stand

Can you just imagine being buried alive?
Until you try it how can you tell?
Can you just imagine having breakfast at 5?
Until you try it how can you tell?

Did you put on a clever disguise?
Let the camera roll through your eyes
Can you tell it the way that it really is
And we did ….we did…..yeah yeah yeah yeah

Can you really imagine being there on the screen?
Until you try it how can you tell?
Do you understand that someone had to come clean?
It goes to show you never can tell

Did you put on a clever disguise?
Let the camera roll through your eyes
Can you tell it the way that it really is
And we did ….we did…..did did did did

No you don't need to mention no names
There are some of us all just the same
Did you tell it the way that it really is
And we did ….oh yeah we did…..did did did did,

Did you realise that its not all rosy and gay
Until you tried how can you tell?
Well if your heart ain't in it better keep well away
Until you tried it how can you tell?

Did you put on a clever disguise?
Let the camera roll through your eyes
Then you tell it the way that it really is
And we did ….oh yeah we did…..did did did did yeah yeah yeah yeah

There's a sweet magnolia blossom round everybody's door
Do your friends keep eating possum?
Keep coming back for more
De do de do de do de do

Candidate

See him all alone, no-one seems to like him, he's uncool.
No-one seems to like the way he rules.
See them all alone, talking of the secrets on the moon,
Spending hard earned money they'll just lose

What we need is some way to adjust all the values that we have been led to trust.
I just can't believe they're real, very real, far from real.

See them all alone, see their cartoon faces in the news
Storming from The House in ones and twos
Can you hear the crowd? Making accusations to each other,
Campaigning for the mark of a young mother

What we really want is some way to adjust, all the values that we have been led to trust
I just can't believe they're real, very real, far from real.

See him all alone, See him all alone,
See him all alone, See him all alone.

(Noddy Holder / Jim Lea)
I won't laugh at you, when you boo–hoo-hoo, ‘cause I love you
I can turn my back on the things you lack, ‘cause I love you
I just like the things you do.
Don't you change the things you do

You get me in a spot and smile that smile you got and I love you
You make me out a clown and you put me down, I still love you
I just like the things you do.
Don't you change the things you do

When you bite your lip, you're gonna flip your flip, cause I love you
When we're miles apart, you still reach my heart, how I love you
I just like the things you do.
Don't you change the things you do

Only time can tell if we get on well, cause I love you
All that's passed us by, we can only sigh-hi-hi, cause I love you
I just like the things you do.
Don't you change the things you do.

Crying in the rain

So you think I got an evil mind, well I'll tell you honey

So cum on feel the noise, girls grab the boys.

And I don't know why, and I don't know why,
And you say I got a dirty mind, well, I'm a mean go-getter
And I don't know why, and I don't know why, anymore oh no

So cum on feel the noise, girls grab the boys.
We get wild, wild, wild, we get wild, wild, wild
So cum on feel the noise, girls grab the boys.
We get wild, wild, wild, at your door

Daddio (Holder/Lea)

Daddio do the nasty
Daddio don't come home
Daddio's working on a 7 year itch
Daddio's ready to roam

Daddio plays the horses
Daddio's out of luck
Mama mama mama it's a sure fire shot
Daddio he'd better run

Two timer once two timer twice
Two timer Daddio's holding up the dice
He make a buck, he make a deal
He makes a living on the spinning of a wheel

Daddio's doing the mambo
Daddio wanna swing
Daddio's always been a gambling man
Daddio's doing his thing

Two time in love two time in hate
Two timer Daddio's making a mistake
Sometimes you lose sometimes you win
Two timer Daddio's take it on the chin

Cos he……….
He's nothing but a doggone viewer
Trying to bet on the TV with his beer
Makes him feel how he wants to feel

Do You Want Me

(Hill / Holder)

Just the way you move you, seems to turn me on
Stockings black and slender, ooh, what I want, yeah
Always gets me higher, when you stroke my palm
Gotta keep me level, ooh, keep control, yeah

Do you want me?
Movin' around with you
Movin' around with you now
Do you want me?
Movin' around with you
Take me, here I come

Just the way you move you, seems to turn me on
Stockings black and slender, ooh, what I want, yeah
Fools can go through phases, have to change around
I don't need no other, got me one

Do you want me?
Movin' around with you
Movin' around with you now
Do you want me?
Movin' around with you
Take me, here I come

It's just the way
Don't you know it's the way that you move you
Take me, here I come.
It's just the way
Don't you know it's the way that you move you
It's just the way
Don't you know it's the way that you move you

It's just the way
Don't you know it's the way that you move you

Don't tame a hurricane
(Holder / Lea)

I wanna I wanna I wanna tell ya
He'll be sharper than any razor, with a funny idea of life
He's got a hurdy gurdy temper, to cut you like a knife, hey hey hey
He's ever ready to catch the cheater, you know the leopard don't change its spots
He's the international cocktail who'll end up on the rocks - woh oh oh

So don't try to change, you got a hurricane - a hurricane'll backfire
So don't try to change, you got a hurricane - you can't hold on a live wire

He ain't about to give up on the good times in the houses of ill repute
Different strokes for different folks, there ain't no substitute no-oh

So don't try to change, you got a hurricane - a hurricane'll backfire
So don't try to change, you got a hurricane - you can't hold on a live wire

I wanna I wanna I wanna tell ya

The girl's innocent air took over, her baby face did not engage
Don't need no permanent relations - he'll never change his ways, no-oh

So don't try to change, you got a hurricane - a hurricane'll backfire
So don't try to change, you got a hurricane - you can't hold on a live wire

Don't try to change him, blame him - a hurricane'll backfire
So don't try to change, blame him - you can't hold on a live wire

Don't talk to me about love
(Holder /Lea)

Hmmmmm
Ah haw haw, Ah haw haw

A shake of the snake, he's making the break
You show me the door, now tell me some more
Go jump in the lake

I got a hot tip, so now let it rip
There's nothing to lose, the earth didn't move
So button your lip

I said, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

Oh, boy how you dance, there's ants in your pants
With my kind of luck, a chance of a duck Is just half a chance

I said, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

I look very brave, the closer you shave
Oh, no not again, will you tell me when?
I daren't misbehave

I said, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

Oh no, don't talk to me about love, love, love
No, no, no, don't talk to me about love, love, love

Forest full of needles
(Holder / Lea)

There's a main line to destruction, only two miles to Hell's gate
There's a hypnotic reaction to the destiny of fate
There's a rise and fall of angels, only idols on parade
There's a ring of gladiators, who all think they've got it made

On into the forest full of needles, stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one, a forest that points that once was green

There's a straight road going forward - There's a winding road behind
Which to take is your decision - neither one is clearly signed
There are questions still unanswered and people to meet and places to go
There are causes still worth fighting for - which is right, well who's to know?

On into the forest full of needles stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one - A forest that points that once was green

There's a side road to salvation, said to lead to Heaven's door
There'll be mighty falls of empires, battles lost and won at war

On into the forest full of needles, stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one - a forest that points that once was green

On into the forest full of needles, stretching as far as can be seen
Looking at nothing, nowhere, no-one - A forest that points that once was green

Give us a goal (Holder / Lea)

Let's go
Let's go

Let's just call a whip off
A drink before the kick off
Get in the mood for Saturday's game

Five to three they zip on
The lads have got the strip on
We're gonna thrash you ain't that a shame

Stop your fancy fooling 'round and give us a goal

We'll chase ya then race ya
You can't catch a cold
Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal

Give it to the winger
All the crowds a singer
We're gonna take the top off the stands

Rattling there rattles
Then powerful in their tackles
Get together clapping your hands

We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Get the ball into the net and give us a goal

A blaster right past ya
You're losing control
You're playing now with two left feet and they've got a goal

Let's Go

Hear the crowds a howling
Hey did ya see the fouling
The ref needs specs he's deaf dumb and blind

Shoot you silly f-fool
Ok now show 'em we rule
The goalie's sat down on his behind

We'll beat ya defeat ya
We're ready to roll
Come on the lad now no mistakes just give us a goal

We'll skin ya we'll win ya
Cos we're back in control
Come on the lads you got it made now give us a goal

We'll chase ya and we'll race ya
Cos they can't catch a cold
More more shoot score give us a goal

Stop your fancy footwork now and give us a goal

Gospel according to Rasputin

Give all your loving
Give all your loving to the devil in the dark now

Give all your favour
Give all your favour to the devil in the dark now

You won't feel down
You know you won't feel down

Give all your loving
Give all your loving to the devil in the dark now

I love my prey young
They are my sound
White women, money all around

Black cat so bad
Nine lives pass me by
Devil tempt me
Listen what I try
Before you give me money
Give me what I want
Devil tempt me
I want to rule the earth

I love my prey young
They are my sound
White women, money all around

Give all your loving
Give all your loving to the devil in the dark now

Give all your favour
Give all your favour to the devil in the dark now

Gotta go home (Holder/Lea)

One with a belt
Hoping that it won't drop off

Woah…..when you gotta go home then you gotta go gotta go home

Everybody tellin' me to hold my tongue.

All I need's a halo and a dress in white

Well, I'm me, I'm now and I know that's all
I'm me, I'm now and I know that's all

We gotta hold tight yeah – can't you see they're letting we through

It's alright buy me
(Holder / Lea)

Three way lanes and aeroplanes, lonely hotel rooms
Burger stands, new wave bands, forty radio tunes
Three chord bash, make it flash, who says it's gonna die?
Drivin' sounds and boogie clowns - all the reasons why

Well it's allright by me - it's all right by me
What has got to be, will be, yeah, it's all right by me

Poker games and baggage lanes -always there to lose
Dirty shirts, bits of skirt, a constant smell of booze

Keep your hands off my power supply
(Holder / Lea)

The hero of the airtime at home and in no fit state
Cos we had one or two over the eight
I need to relieve myself, can't wait
Blue light flashing comin' up a-right behind
Get up Mary hittin' the cats eyes
Trying hard to follow the white line
I aint ready to face the law
I ain't huntin' and that's for sure
Maybe they'll just want an autograph

So keep your hands off my power supply
There's no chance that we'll get away
So keep your hands to yourself my oh my
I guess it ain't our lucky day - hey hey

A wine inceptor maybe they're flagging us down
Now the boys in blue have their nose to the ground
Watch him over "Can I see your licence sir?"

I aint ready to blow in the bag
I ain't ready to lose my rag
Gotta work out what I'm gonna say

So keep your hands off my power supply
There's no chance that we'll get away
So keep your hands to yourself my oh my
I guess it ain't our lucky day hey hey
Gotta get away

I aint ready to face the law
I ain't huntin' and that's for sure
Better leave my gear stick alone

So keep your hands off my power supply
There's no chance that we'll get away
So keep your hands to yourself my oh my
I guess it ain't our lucky day - hey hey
Gotta get away
Gotta get away

Kill 'em at the Hot Club tonite

You'll get over me, I'll get over you.
The only time to meet is when we really fancy.
We talked quite a lot, we sleep on and off.
The last thing I remember is the TV dancing.

You walk on the right, I walk on the left.
The only thing to say will be a 'hello' maybe.
We had lots of fun, we rolled in the sand.
You keep on throwing things at me and I bleed baby.

You can smile like you did before,
Keep your souvenirs upon the bedroom wall.
Everyone gets silly, hot blood can get chilly,
We'll kill 'em at the hot club tonight.

You'll get over me, I'll get over you.
The only time to meet is when we really fancy.
You write off my car, break up my guitar
You think that saying sorry is the only answer

You walk on the right, I walk on the left.
You look the other way in case I see you blushing.
The state that we were in, how come you had me rushing?
You can smile like you did before,
Keep your souvenirs upon the bedroom wall.
Everyone gets silly, hot blood can get chilly,
We'll kill 'em at the hot club tonight.

You can smile like you did before,
Keep your souvenirs upon the bedroom wall.
Everyone gets silly, hot blood can get chilly,
We'll kill 'em at the hot club tonight.
We'll kill 'em at the hot club tonight.
We'll kill 'em at the hot club tonight.

Lay Your Love On The Line - Hill / Hunt

I hear the sound of rock'n'roll thunder
I think you know the spell that I'm under
I feel that something's playin' crazy with my heart

Up in the sky the heavens are fallin'
And all around the angels are callin'
You're movin' mountains slowly tearin' me apart

Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Say you're gonna be mine

If I could be a man for all seasons
Give me your answer give me your reasons
I'd like to be a king if only for a day

I've seen the world and I know what I'm after
One look from you and my heart's a disaster
And every dream I've dreamed would take your breath away

Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Say you're gonna be mine

Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Say you're gonna be mine

Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Lay your love on the line
Say you're gonna be mine

Leave them girls alone (Holder/Lea)

Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah

I don't think you're the kind of girl
Who likes living in a crazy world
You ain't loving it the times you can
Hey I'm taking about that kind of man

If Daddy comes home at midnight
You kick Daddy's door
Well the girls are alright
Staying out all night
Leave them girls alone

Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah
You ain't satisfied I fooled around
Give me everything I won't let you down
I don't care if you're big or small
Give me dynamite I want it all

If Daddy comes home at midnight
You kick Daddy's door
Well the girls are alright
Staying out all night
Leave them girls alone

Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah

On the town and all dressed up to kill
Don't do anything against your will
Overloaded and still want more
Much more than I've ever felt before

If Daddy comes home at midnight
You kick Daddy's door
Well the girls are alright
Staying out all night
Leave them girls alone

Woah woah-wow woah
Living on a dark tombstone
Woah woah-wow woah
Love and leave ‘em alone
Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah
Woah woah-wow woah
Leave and love ‘em alone
Woah woah-wow woah

Man who speeks evil

His mind is hurt so with grief.
He sits and watches the grassy leaf
He can tell when a new one grows, he can
and watches as rabbits flee from the throne of a dead man

Across two seas he can hear,
and grabs your words before you speak them
He hears the sound of drinking grass he does,
and the Arctic moves its gigantic load for his own sake

He's a man who speaks evil - He's a man who is evil.
He looks on evil as a good thing.
He can speak evil, he can hear evil
He really, really lives it

He can feel, that all his thoughts are changing,
That all his thoughts are changing by the hour,
He can feel . . .

This man is hurt so with grief.
He sits and watches the grass grow lean
He talks to them all when they grow, he does,
And wanders like a cut rate thief inside out and below you know

He's a man who speaks evil - He's a man who is evil.
He looks on evil as a good thing.
He can speak evil, he can hear evil -
He really, really lives it

He can feel, that all his thoughts are changing,
That all his thoughts are changing by the hour,
He can feel . . .

Merry Xmas Everybody 
(Noddy Holder / Jim Lea)

Are you hangin' up your stocking on your wall?
It's the time that every Santa has a ball.
Does he ride a red-nosed reindeer?
Does he ton up on his sleigh?
Do the fairies keep him sober for the day?

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun
Look to the future now, it's only just begun

Are you waiting for the family to arrive?
Are you sure you got the room to spare inside?
Does your Granny always tell ya, that the old songs are the best?
Then she's up and rock and rollin' with the rest

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun
Look to the future now, it's only just begun

What will your Daddy do when he sees your mama kissin' Santa Claus?
Aha-ah

Are you hangin' up your stocking on your wall?
Are you hoping that the snow will start to fall?
Do you ride on down the hillside, on a buggy you have made?
When you land upon your head then you've been Slayed

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun
Look to the future now, it's only just begun

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun
Look to the future now, it's only just begun

So here it is, Merry Christmas, everybody's having fun
(It's Christmaaaaaaaaas!)
Look to the future now, it's only just begun

My Baby Left Me / That's Alright Mama
Arthur Crudup

Well my baby left me and never said a word
Was it something I done, something that she heard
You know she left me, My baby left me
You know she even left me, Never said a word

Well I stand by my window, wring my hands and moan
You know the one I love, the one I love has gone
You know she left me - my baby left me
You know she even left me - Never said a word

Well that's alright my mama - That's alright by me
That's alright my mama - Any old way you choose
Oh that's alright (That's alright) - Ooh that's alright (That's alright)
Well that's alright my mama - Any old way you choose

Take it grasshopper

You know that one and one is two - Two and two is four
Ooh you know my little baby, she don't come round no more

My baby left me (That's alright) - You know she left me (That's alright)
My baby even left me - Never said a word (That's alright), (That's alright)

You know my baby left me - Never said a word (That's alright), (That's alright)
You know my baby baby left me - Never said a word

She's gone - solid gone

My life is natural
(Noddy Holder)

I played the sands /f time and I loved and lost,
They gave their bodies to two-time whores
They gambled everything they got.
A greedy mind cut out the cards

They even loved with another man's wife.
They even loved her with other men
They've also drank a lot of wine.
Some men have even had a good time

My life is natural, hey hey hey,
My life is natural, said a said a said a
My life is natural, woh woh woh,
My life is natural

Maybe tomorrow a change in the life of the man in the street's gonna come
Maybe tomorrow. Hope it's tomorrow.

You got the sands of time and they piled up high.
They've done their best to wreck their mind.
Instead of joke they told a lie.
They started wars so men could die now.

To try to suss out what is evil and what is good would take a mind wiser than mine
To start a setting the world to rights would take another Christ now

My life is natural, My life is natural,
My life is natural, My life is natural

Maybe tomorrow a change in the life of the man in the street's gonna come
Maybe tomorrow. Hope it's tomorrow.

9 To 5
Holder/Lea

Nanananana
Get up late, the birds don't wait for anyone
If you're running fast, the bus goes past, too bad
You get to work, you feel a jerk, the boss is mad
He says 'you think we're on go-slow - you better get your cards and go go go'

9 to 5 - You gotta break out in the night time
You gotta make a weekend high time, after 9 to 5 - After 9 to 5

Got no job, you need to earn a bob or two
'Cos all your mates in the same state as you
Elpees careers can buy your beers and pay your way
You're on the dead end of the street, trying hard to make ends meet

9 to 5 - You gotta break out in the night time
You gotta make a weekend high time after 9 to 5
9 to 5 - You gotta break out in the evening
'Cos you never did believe in all that 9 to 5 - All that 9 to 5

Nanana 9 to 5

Clockin' in and clockin' all the office girls
Oh let me take you out tonight, Joanne
Will ya lends a fiver Ma I'm broke and I've got a date
She's a cracking bit of stuff, but she don't know when she's had enough

9 to 5 - You gotta break out in the night time
You gotta make a weekend high time after 9 to 5

9 to 5 - You gotta break out in the evening
'Cos you never did believe in all that 9 to 5
All that 9 to 5 - All that 9 to 5

Not tonight, Josephine
(Holder / Lea)

Not tonight, Josephine - don't be so mean - I like the way that you do
But now I got a date with the Duke
Not tonight, Josephine - don't be so mean - I stand on my heels for you
But now I got a date at Waterloo

I want a welcome home, a welcome home
I want a welcome home, a welcome home
I want a welcome home, when I come home again

I want a welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, when I come home again

Not tonight-a Cleopatra, you know what I'm after, but wait until I get back home
Now I got a date in Rome
Not tonight Guinevere, you whisper in my ear, you're ready willing and able
But now I got a date at the table

I want a welcome home, a welcome home
I want a welcome home, a welcome home
I want a welcome home, when I come home again

I want a welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, a welcome home
A welcome home, when I come home again

Go little Queenie.....

You're gonna get it tonight - You're gonna get it tonight
You're gonna get it tonight - You're gonna get it tonight at home
You're gonna be the Queen of the ball

Tonight's the night for Josephine, for Cleopatra, Guinevere, at home
You're gonna be the Queen of the ball

So keep it safe, keep it warm, dont'cha let it stray,
A little bit lovin' goes a long long way
(indecipherable and probably rather rude)

Ready steady kids
(Holder - Lea)

Reeba reeba!

Oh anytime you like, you want a hot summer's night
The sweet smell of weed in the air - yes sir
All the cats are hangin' on and flying like kites
You can tell by the glass in their stare yes sir
Any bar or pool room and the action gets rough
A sesne of discontent in the air, yes sir
Catch some sideways jojo that was tryin' to look tough
You can tell them Harlem cookies ain't square, no sir

The Ready steady kids are flippin their lids and rippin' their skids
The Ready steady kids are pickin' their sticks and smokin' their cigs

They're rowdy at ballgame the on a cold afternoon
Aimin' at the ref with a can, yo man
All them cats been workin all week, they're out for a loon
They gettin all stuck up in a jam yo man

The Ready steady kids are flippin their lids and rippin' their skids - look out!
The Ready steady kids are pickin' their sticks and smokin' their cigs

Ready steady, we're ready steady, we're ready steady, go go go go

Oh, any old plantation on a hot summer's nite - the sweet smell of grass in the air, yes sir
All the cats are hangin' on and flying like kites - You can tell by the glass in their glare yes sir

(Choruses and ad-libs to end)

The girl is hot, don't you make no mistake
There ain't know time left for a second take
She moves around, she's known in every place
You try it on, she's laughing in your face

Red hot - She's looking for a big shot
Red hot - She's looking for a big shot

The girl is hot they call her vindaloo
Ready or not she's gonna boogaloo
A pretty thing and I ain't got no doubt
She'll chew you up and then she'll spit you out

I say red hot - She's looking for a big shot
The girl is red hot - She's looking for a big shot

The girl is hot her heart's as cold as ice
She's got the lot and she don't need no advice
A killer queen if she's not handled right
She's got a sting that'll last all night

I said red hot - She's looking for a big shot
The girl is red hot - She's looking for a big shot

She's red hot red hot - She's looking for a big shot
The girl is red hot red hot red hot - She's looking for a big shot

She's red she's hot she's hotter than hot
She's hot she's hot she's hotter than hot
She's hot she's hot she's hotter than hot
She's red hot and red hot and red hot

Ad-libs to fade

She did it to me (Holder / Lea)

Anytime you feel like you're down.
Anytime you want a friend around.
Cos I knew that soon we'd fall.
'Everyday' has said it all
And I've landed with my two feet on the ground.

She can read in your eyes - all the truth, all the lies -
She did it to me, she did it to me
She can read how you're made - in the light in the shade -
She did it to me, she did it to me

Any time you feel a little pain. Any time you want to talk again
'Cos I knew that soon we'd dry - 'Everyday' will tell you why
And for old times sake, we'll meet up in the rain.

She can read in your eyes - all the truth, all the lies -
She did it to me, she did it to me
She can read how you're made - in the light in the shade -
She did it to me, she did it to me

'Cos I knew you hadn't planned every day so understand,
When you're tired of Sugar Dad, will I be here?
She can read in your eyes - all the truth, all the lies -
She did it to me, she did it to me
She can read how you're made - in the light in the shade -
She did it to me, she did it to me

Skweeze me pleeze me (Noddy Holder / Jim Lea)

You know how to squeeze me (who oh).
You know how to please me (who oh)
You're learning it easy (who oh)
And I thought you might like to know,
when a girl's meaning yes she says no

You got a rude walk, you got one walk, all your jokes are blue
You got long nails, you tell tall tales, some you think are true

And there's nowhere to go you won't go.
If there's nowhere to run, you go slow
If you move up to me then I'll show,
You the way, then you'll know

How to squeeze me (who oh). You know how to please me (who oh)
You're learning it easy (who oh) And I thought you might like to know,

You got a sweet tongue, you sing love songs, can't you learn to spell?
Take me bak ‘ome, you got it all wrong, ‘cos we sing that as well
And there's nowhere to go you won't go.
If there's nowhere to run, you go slow
If you move up to me then I'll show,
You the way, then you'll know

How to squeeze me (who oh).
You know how to please me (who oh)
You're learning it easy (who oh)
And I thought you might like to know,

Somethin' Else / Pistol Packin' Mama / Keep A-Rollin'
Cochran / Dexter / Holder / Lea / Hill / Powell

1-2, 1-2-3 - A-looky here, here she comes
Here come that girl again
One of the cutest since I don't know when
She don't notice me when I pass
She goes with other guys from out of my class
It don't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
Sure fine lookin' man, she's somethin' else

A-look a-here, what's all this
There's a car made just for me
To own that car would be a luxury
Right now babe I can't afford the gas
A brand new convertible is out of my class
It don't stop me from a-thinkin' to myself
Sure fine lookin' man, it's somethin' else

Drinkin' beer in a cabaret, was I havin' fun (NO!)
'Til one night she shot out the light, now I'm on the run
Lay that pistol down, babe, lay that pistol down
Pistol-packin' mama, lay that pistol down … they're gonna go

A-look a-here, wait an' see
Never thought I'd a-do this before
Here I am a-knockin' on her door
My car's out front an' it's all mine
A '41 Ford not a '59
Can't stop me dreamin' an' a-thinkin' to myself
If it all comes true man, it's somethin' else

[bass / drums / violin solos]

Jimmy Lea there !
Keep a-rollin', yeah … keep a-rollin', yeah … keep a-rollin', (yeah) …
Keep a-rollin', (yeah) … keep a-rollin', (yeah) … keep a-rollin', (yeah) …
Keep a-rollin', (yeah) … keep a-rollin', (yeah) … 1-2, 1-2-3 …

Take me bak ‘ome (Noddy Holder / Jim Lea)

Came up to you one night, noticed the look in your eye
I saw you was on your own and it was alright, yeah it was alright
Said I could call you Sidney, I couldn't make out why
Standin' here on your own, and it was alright, yeah it was alright

So won't you take me back home, take me back home
We can find plenty to do, that will be alright, yeah, it will be alright

You and your bottle of brandy, both of you smell the same
You're still on your feet, still standin', so it was alright, yeah, it was alright
Then Superman comes to meet you. He looks twice the size of me
I didn't stay round to say goodnight, so it was alright, yeah it was alright

So won't you take me back home, take me back home
We can find plenty to do, that will be alright, yeah, it will be alright
So won't you take me back home, my baby
Take me back home, yeah
I said a take me, take me, take me, take me back home
Take me, take me, take me, take me back home
I said I want you. I said I love you.

So what you gonna do when you take me back home?
What you gonna do when you take me back home?
What you gonna What you gonna What you gonna do?

The Bangin' Man

When you wake up in the morning
You can't remember much about the night before
Then the lady who's beside you gets up
She goes right out and locks the bathroom door
And your head won't stop singing, the phone won't stop ringing
Your plane is goin' to leave at 12:15
It was close to 6 o'clock before you got to know a little dream

Look at the bangin' man, he says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bang him back home
Look at the bangin' man, he says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bang him back home

I've been in fifty different towns in fifty different days
They all got different names
I've been in fifty limousines and fifty hotel rooms
They all look the same
And your head won't stop cracking, your case she's unpacking
The only sound is from the TV screen
Until a knock comes on the door and standing there's another little dream

Look at the bangin' man, he says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bang him back home
Look at the bangin' man, he says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bang him back home

'Cause he's a banger

Oh when you wake up in the morning
You can't remember much about the night before
A small reminder of the state you were in
Are all the tattered clothes across the floor
And your head it still keeps singing, the phone it still keeps ringing
Remember just exactly where you've been
'Cause there ain't no doubt about it
There's no better things to see than what you've seen

Look at the bangin' man, he says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bang him back home
Look at the bangin' man, he says he can
Time after time
He'll get down, down, down
To bang him back home

With her one track mind - With her one track mind
She was a hooked on two track stereo with her one track mind
Woh-ho-oh

Well she always had lousy timing
But she'd like making love to music wearing headphones (woh-ho-oh)
Wearing headphones yeah-yeah-yeah

They get in the way of talking and it don't sound the same
When you have to shout sweet nothings (wo oh oh oh) through her headphones (wo oh oh oh)

With a one track mind, paraded her behind
She was hooked on two track stereo, with a one track mind

She'd be late for a date on purpose, making sure that she keeps you waiting
While she makes up another new face
She was always forgetting something and could easily lose her head
Then there'd be nowhere, to hang her headphones, yeah yeah yeah

With a one track mind, paraded her behind
She was hooked on two track stereo, with a one track mind

Oh, well she always had lousy timing, wearing headphones when she's out eating or out walking
Like a zombie, yeah

With a one track mind, paraded her behind
She was hooked on two track stereo, with a one track mind

One track mind - What's going through her mind?

Universe - Jimmy Lea

I was coming home, I was all alone
In a place so cold I don't feel
I was there for years, so afraid of fears
I was lost and I was the curse
Oh won't you be my universe?
Oh yeah

I can hear the sound, I can hear it loud
Of the beat before time was dawned
Through the fire and rain I can feel your pain
Won't you be the last like the first
Oh won't you be my universe?How much have I traveled
How much have I seen
Is this reality or a broken dream, Ohhh

Through raging storm won't you keep me warm
I'm the hunger, I am the thirst
Oh won't you be my universe?

When The Chips Are Down
Holder/Lea

Well I ain't one for runnin' when I see trouble comin' an' the chips are down
Well I ain't one for runnin' when the bad guys are comin an' the chips are down

I gotta snappy trigger finger thats a-ready to squeeze
I got an icy cold stare that'll make you freeze
I ain't scared of nothin' an' I ain't one for bluffin' when the chips are down

When the Rat Packs are hidin' an' the lawmen are ridin' an' the ace is black
There's a piano-honkin' an' a-soon stop a-talkin' when the kid gets back
He got a colt 45 an' it can fill you with lead
An' you won't know what hit you right but that you will be dead
I ain't scared of nothin' an' I ain't one for bluffin' when the chips are down

When the chips are down, when the chips are down
There's a boodle for the losers an' a skinful for the boozers every town
When the chips are down, when the chips are down
There's a coyote a-howlin' an' the sheriffs get a-poundin' in every town

Yeah
I'm a-hell a-bent for leather, I can change it like the weather, when the chips are down, down, down, down
Be a loner be a rider, a loser an' a hider when the chips are down
If you're ridin' into town an' there's a price on your head
Then you won't know what hit you right but that you will be dead
'Cos you got some pills, I got a baby that'll kill you when the chips are down

When the chips are down, when the chips are down
There's a boodle for the losers an' a skinful for the boozers of every town
Oh, when the chips are down, when the chips are down
There's a coyote a-howlin' an' the sheriffs get a-poundin' in every town

I'm a-hell a-bent for leather, I can change it like the weather when I'm down
Well I ain't a-one for bluffin' an' I ain't a-scared of nothin' when I'm down

Wonderin' Y (Jim Lea / Don Powell)

Here I am, in the same old clothes, looking back on my life
‘Cos I'm here alone. Left out here without a home
Take no chance, read between the lines, don't accept a way
When she always cries, just try to read between the lines
I tried to love you

Now I'm here, taking things as I find them
Now I'm here, wasting time, thinking of me, looking back on my life
Wondering why . . .

It's hard to see and to understand just a-what it's like to be pushed around
Kicking stones along the ground. I don't think it will ever change.
Can I find a way to the front again and have another chance to spend my life with you

And now I'm here, taking things as I find them
Now I'm here, wasting time, thinking of me, looking back on my life
Wondering why . . .

And now I'm here, taking things as I find them
Now I'm here, wasting time, thinking of me, looking back on my life
Wondering why . . .

DIRTY FOOT LANE

Days I remember when I was a boy
I'm now on Dirty Foot Lane
And all of those feelings which come to me now
Go round and round in my brain

Take me down Dirty Foot Lane
Sing it loud Dirty Foot Lane
When I'm down Dirty Foot Lane comes back again

Sweet as the sound that rings in my ears
And the kids that played at my school
And no, it's not me
I'm watching him now, I'm still that kid
Is that cool!

Take me down Dirty Foot Lane
Sing it loud Dirty Foot Lane
When I'm down, Dirty Foot Lane comes back again

Take me down Dirty Foot Lane
Take me down Dirty Foot Lane
When I'm down, Dirty Foot Lane comes back again

Repeat...
