Special Friends
04:10

If I ever thought I could
Get away with it, you know I would
Cos I'm easily mislead.
Should be using, not receiving, head.
But after all is said and done
Where's the risk without the fun?
And I know what's on your mind
It's the same game I've been playing
Pick me up
I'll put you down again
That's what happens to the "special friends"
It's not over...its not over...it's not over...
If I ever thought I should
Take you down with me
You know I would
But a lot's been said since then
Didn't know if you'd been listening
This is where it's got to end
There's no point in a beginning
Call my bluff and hope to die
You're the one who's left crying

Sleazy Does It

Is it true?
You'd like me to see you?
The way I've always wanted to?
And if you do...
I'll do the things to you
You know you've always wanted to
And as the sun sets I would know
You've booked a suite inside my soul
Throw away the key
There'll never be a need for anyone in there but you and me
You know it's true
I said I feel you do

If I Only Knew

I'd love to fill your cup
Drink a toast to my bad luck
I feel I've been stitched up
By the one's I'd come to trust
Don't you, want me to...
Take another stand
And fight all night with you?
You don't care what you've done
Or what I'm going to do
If I only knew...
You thank me for my songs
I hope the cheque won't be too long
I feel I've been abused
I've got things I need to do

Had To Have It
03:04
|

I saw it and I had to have it
Just another dirty habit
Rack em out and I will dab it
I saw it and I had to have it
She put her hand in my pocket
Felt around for the packet
Palmed it and her fingers grabbed it
She saw it and she had to have it
Don't even try to ask me why
I'll tell you a lie
We pushed our way into the party
Up the stairs, double crafty
Lock the door and check it's empty
Lay it out there to tempt me

Stop The World

Take the pill
Sure you will
Bleeding hearted liberal
He's not impressed by the state of the nation
The drunks on the streets have moved into his station
This is never going to work
On and on...
Here they are
Come so far
Working hard
Stealing cars
I'm not impressed by the state of the nation
Think I'm in need of another vacation
What's the point in going to work?
On and on...

I Don't Know Why
04:14
|
|||
I don't know why you never call
I don't know why you won't come round at all
I don't know why you let me go
And dig myself an even deeper hole
I don't know why I couldn't see
How disappointed you'd become in me
We had it all, but as you say
I went and threw it all away
I don't know why I keep this song
It brings me pain when I sing along
And all the time I blame the day
You made your mind up and you went away
I don't know why I couldn't see
How disappointed you'd become in me
I don't why you never call
I don't know why I'm here at all

Ya Little Liar
02:54
|
|||
I didn't want to end up this way
You couldn't think of a thing to say
Another drink won't make it right
It's your fault, you were out of line
Ya little liar
You keep em coming, I know you will
Another victim will pay the bill
I'll take a cheque if it's all you've got
You cleaned me out girl, you got the lot
Ya little liar
I'm not trying to get at you
I know you're sick, and you know it too
It's just a shame, I'm trying to say
That you had to end up this way
You play upon my sympathy
I've got it bad and it's plain to see
Another girl needs my company
And that is my new philosophy!

I don't know what you're doing here
But I know who you are
I don't know what you're doing here
But I know who you are
I said, I know who you are
If you think I'll make a sound
When you think I'll hit the ground
C'mon!
Oooh yeah...oooh yeah
Let's see how good you are
I've never met a bigger man
Who talks as much as you
Keep it up, sonny boy
Let's see what you can do
Let's see what you can do
If you think I'll make a sound
When you think I'll hit the ground
C'mon!
Oooh yeah...oooh yeah
Let's see how good you are

Firecracker Blues
06:13
|

I was a firecracker
When I was younger, uh huh
I blew up on cue
I lost a friend or two
It's been so long since I've been back home
It's been so long since I've been back...
Home...don't get me wrong
I've been alive since the day I was born
It don't mean nothing can get me out of this place
It don't mean nothing can get me out of this...
I met a girl I called Jo
Yeah she was trouble for sure
High on self esteem and personality
It's been so long since I've been back home
It's been so long since I've been back...
Home...don't get me wrong
I've been alive since the day I was born
It don't mean nothing can get me out of this place
It don't mean nothing can get me out of this...

Sing Me Back Home
04:19
|

The warden lead the prisoner down the hallway to his doom
I stood up to say goodbye like all the rest
And I heard him, tell the Warden, just before he reached my cell
Let my guitar playing friend do my request
Let him sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home, before I die
I recall, last Sunday morning, a choir from cross the street
Came to sing a few old gospel songs
And I heard him tell the singers
There's a song my Mama sang
Won't you sing it once before I move along
Won't you sing me back home
With a song I used to hear
Make my old memories come alive
Take me away, and turn back the years
Sing me back home, before I die

Where Did You Run To?
03:35
|
|||
I fall on my feet
Most every day
It's the getting back up
That leaves me this way
Just don't try to tame me baby
It never works anyway
But if I pack my bags...will you stay?
I'm not the full deck
I'm a bit of a shoe-in
But if you show me your cards
I'll pay you what I'm owing
Don't try to tame me baby
It never works anyway
But if I pack my bags...will you stay?
Where did you run to baby?
Why'd you treat me this way?
Where did you run to baby?
Why'd you lead me astray?
Where did you run to baby?
Why'd you leave me this way?
If you don't even want me to stay?
So listen to me
Cos I can't hear what you're saying
But you'd better believe
There's an art to complaining
Don't try to tame me baby
It's never worked to this day
But if I pack my bags...will you stay?

Cinderella

Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey everybody
I'm out looking for a girl
She's the sharpest one
In the whole wide world
I want to be her man
Lord, I'll catch her if I can
I met her at the bar
You know, we danced all night
When I kissed her lips
She even held me tight
Disappeared by herself
When my clock struck 12
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Cinderella
Where have you gone
I got a glass slipper
For you to try on
I want to be your fellow
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Cinderella
She's got a pretty long hair
And she's five-foot-two
When she ran away
I found her glass shoe
Won't somebody tell me
What I am gonna do
Hey Hey Hey Hey Hey Cinderella
Cinderella
