DISC 1.

1. ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST



Some people get a cheap laugh breaking up the speed limit

Scaring up pedestrians for a minute

Crossing up the progress driving on the grass

Leaving just enough for room to pass

Sunday driver never took a test

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west



Yes, and it's no use saying that you don't know nothing

Still gonna get you if don't do something

Sitting on the fence that's a dangerous course

You can even catch a bullet from the peace keeping force

Even a hero gets a bullet in the chest

Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west


I want to marry your children Mrs. Lauden

Some of your mothers ought to lock up your daughters

Who's protecting the innocent team

A heap of trouble in the land of plenty

Tell me how we're gonna do what's best

You guessed, once upon a time in the west


Oh yeah, once upon a time in the west



2. EXPRESSO LOVE


She gets the sun in the daytime
Perfume in the dusk
And she comes out in the night time
With the honeysuckle musk
Because she smells just like a rose
And she tastes just like a peach
She got me walking where the wildlife goes
I'd go anything to reach her
And she was made in heaven

Heaven's in the world
Is this just expresso love
You know I'm crazy for the girl
She call me just to talk
She's my lover she's a friend of mine
She says hey mister you wanna take a walk
In the wild west end sometime
And I get trouble with my breathing
She says boys don't know anything
But I know what I want
I want everything

Well I feel so good cos I feel so good
And I feel so good cos it feels so right
I was made to go with my girl
Like a saxophone was made to go with the night
And she can raise one eyebrow
Put her hand on my hip
And I close one eye now
Sweat on her lip
And I surrender to the fever
I surrender to the will of the night
She love me so tender I got to believe her
Love? Expresso love's alright
I don't want no sugar in it
Thank you very much

All wired up on it all fired up on it
Expresso touch
Hey maestro expresso
It's just another one just like the other one
Hey maestro expresso
It's this another one just like the other one


3. ROMEO AND JULIET



a lovestruk romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convinient streelight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?

juliet says hey it's romeo you nearly gimme a heart attack
he's underneath the window she's singing hey la my boyfriend's back
you shouldn't come around here singing up at people like that
anyway what you gonna do about it?

Juliet the dice were loaded from the start
and i bet and you exploded in my heart
and i forget i forget the movie song
when you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

come up on different stress they both were streets of shame
both dirty both mean yes and the dream was just the same
and i dreamed your dream for you and now your dream is real
how can you look at me as if i was just another one of your deals?

when you can fall for chains of silver you can fall for chains of gold
you can fall for pretty strangers and promises they hold
you promised me everything you promised me thick and thin
now you just say oh romeo yeah you know i used to have a scene with him

juliet when we made love and used to cry
you said i love you like the stars abouve i'll love you till i die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
whne you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

i can't do the talk like they talk on TV
and i can't do a love song like the way it's meant to be
i can't do everything but i'd do anything for you
i can't do anything except be in love with you

and all i do iss miss you and the way we used to be
all i do is keep the beat and bad company
all i do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
julie i'd do the with you any time

juliet when we made love and used to cry
you said i love you like the stars abouve i'll love you till i die
there's a place for us you know the movie song
whne you gonna realise it was just that the time was wrong juliet?

a lovestruk romeo sings a streetsuss serenade
laying everybody low with a lovesong that he made
finds a convinient streelight steps out of the shade
says something like you and me babe how about it?



4. LOVE OVER GOLD


You walk out on the high wire

you're a dancer on thin ice

you pay no heed to the danger

and less to advice

your footsteps are forbidden

but with a knowledge of your sin

you throw your love to all the strangers

and caution to the wind


And you go dancing through doorways

just to see what you will find

leaving nothing to interfere

with the crazy balance of your mind

and when you finally reappear

at the place where you came in

you've thrown your love to all the strangers

and caution to the wind


It takes love over gold

and mind over matter

to do what you do that you must

when the things that you hold

can fall and be shattered

or run through your fingers like dust



5. PRIVATES INVESTIGATIONS


It's a mystery to me - the game commences

for the usual fee - plus expenses

confidential information - it's in the diary

this is my investigation - it's not a public inquiry

I go checking out the reports - digging up the dirt

you get to meet all sorts in this line of work

treachery and treason - there's always an excuse for it

and when I find the reason I still can't get used to it

And what have you got at the end of the day?

what have you got to take away?

a bottle of whisky and a new set of lies

blinds on the windows and a pain behind the eyes

Scarred for life - nocompensation

private investigations


6. SULTANS OF SWING


You get a shiver in the dark
It's raining in the park but meantime
South of the river you stop and you hold everything
A band is blowing Dixie double four time
You feel alright when you hear that music ring


You step inside but you don't see too many faces
Coming in out of the rain to hear the jazz go down
Too much competition too many other places
But not too many horns can make that sound
Way on downsouth way on downsouth London town


You check out Guitar George he knows all the chords
Mind he's strictly rhythm he doesn't want to make it cry or sing
And an old guitar is all he can afford
When he gets up under the lights to play his thing


And Harry doesn't mind if he doesn't make the scene
He's got a daytime job he's doing alright
He can play honky tonk just like anything
Saving it up for Friday night
With the Sultans with the Sultans of Swing


And a crowd of young boys they're fooling around in the corner
Drunk and dressed in their best brown baggies and their platform soles
The don't give a damn about any trumpet playing band
It ain't what they call rock and roll
And the Sultans played Creole


And then the man he steps right up to the microphone
And says at last just as the time bell rings
'Thank you goodnight now it's time to go home'
and he makes it fast whith one more thing
'We are the Sultans of Swing'


DISC 2


1. TWO YOUNG LOVERS


It was the last day of summer
It was the first of a new romance
He walked into her on the corner
She said, ’i don’t dance’

He said, ’baby let me teach you’
She said, ’o.k., when? ’
He said, ’how can I reach you baby
I’d really like to see you again’

He picked her up on a friday night
He took her for a bite to eat
His heart was beating and his hands were shaking
She thought he was sweet

And he stood on her shoes on the dance floor
Well, they were doing it cheek to cheek
And he walked her home and he kissed her
He was walking on air all week

Well, they couldn’t stand to be apart
They couldn’t leave one another alone
Her mama used to say, ’it’s getting late sweetheart
It’s time that boy went home’

And upstairs papa kissed mama
And she gave him a sweet caress
He said, ’here’s to the two young lovers
Let’s wish ’em every happiness’

It was the last day of summer
They came walking home hand in hand
They went and told her mama
They showed her the wedding band

Mama cried and poured the wine
Papa just said God bless
Now, here’s to the two young lovers
Let’s wish ’em every happiness


2. TUNNEL OF LOVE



Getting crazy on the waltzers but it's the life that I choose

sing about the sixblade sing about the switchback and a torture tattoo

and I been riding on a ghost train where the cars they scream and slam

and I don't know where I'll be tonight but I'd always tell you where I am

in a screaming ring of faces I seen her standing in the light

she had a ticket for the races just like me she was a victim of the night

I put a hand upon the lever said let it rock and let it roll

I had the one arm bandit fever there was an arrow through my heart and my soul

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

and I'm just high on the world

come on and take a low ride with me girl

on the tunnel of love

it's just the danger when you're riding at your own risk

she said you are the perfect stranger she said baby let's keep it like this

it's just a cake walk twisting baby step right up and say

hey mister give me two give me two cos any two can play

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

and I'm just high on the world

come on and take a low ride with me girl

on the tunnel of love

well it's been money for muscle another whirligig

money for muscle and another girl I dig

another hustle just to make it big

and rockaway rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

oh girl it looks so pretty to me just like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

she took off a silver locket she said remember me by this

she put her hand in my pocket I got a keepsake and a kiss

and in the roar of the dust and diesel I stood and watched her walk away

I could have caught up with her easy enough but something must have made me

stay

and the big wheel keep on turning neon burning up above

and I'm just high on the world

come on and take a low ride with me girl

on the tunnel of love

and now I'm searching through these carousels and the carnival arcades

searching everywhere from steeplechase to palisades

in any shooting gallery where promises are made

to rockaway rockaway from cullercoats and whitley bay out to rockaway

and girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids

girl it looks so pretty to me like it always did

like the spanish city to me when we were kids



3. TELEGRAPH ROAD


A long time ago came a man on a track
walking thirty miles with a pack on his back
and he put down his load where he thought it was the best
made a home in the wilderness
he built a cabin and a winter store
and he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
and the other travellers came riding down the track
and they never went further, no, they never went back
then came the churches then came the schools
then came the lawyers then came the rules
then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
and the dirty old track was the telegraph road

Then came the mines - then came the ore
then there was the hard times then there was a war
telegraph sang a song about the world outside
telegraph road got so deep and so wide
like a rolling river. . .
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
people driving home from the factories
there's six lanes of traffic
three lanes moving slow. . .
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found

yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
we're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
and the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
they can always fly away from this rain and this cold
you can hear them singing out their telegraph code
all the way down the telegraph road
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
when life was just a bet on a race between the lights
you had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair

now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
but believe in me baby and I'll take you away
from out of this darkness and into the day
from these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
from the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'cos I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
and I don't want to see it again. . .
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
all the way down the telegraph road



4. SOLID ROCK



A long time ago came a man on a track
Walking thirty miles with a pack on his back
And he put down his load where he thought it was the best
Made a home in the wilderness
He built a cabin and a winter store

And he ploughed up the ground by the cold lake shore
And the other travellers came riding down the track
And they never went further, no, they never went back
Then came the churches then came the schools
Then came the lawyers then came the rules

Then came the trains and the trucks with their loads
And the dirty old track was the telegraph road
Then came the mines - then came the ore
Then there was the hard times then there was a war
Telegraph sang a song about the world outside

Telegraph road got so deep and so wide
Like a rolling river. . .
And my radio says tonight it's gonna freeze
People driving home from the factories
There's six lanes of traffic Tthree lanes moving slow. . .
I used to like to go to work but they shut it down
I got a right to go to work but there's no work here to be found

Yes and they say we're gonna have to pay what's owed
We're gonna have to reap from some seed that's been sowed
And the birds up on the wires and the telegraph poles
They can always fly away from this rain and this cold
You can hear them singing out their telegraph code
All the way down the telegraph road
You know I'd sooner forget but I remember those nights
When life was just a bet on a race between the lights
You had your head on my shoulder you had your hand in my hair

Now you act a little colder like you don't seem to care
But believe in me baby and I'll take you away
From out of this darkness and into the day
From these rivers of headlights these rivers of rain
From the anger that lives on the streets with these names
'cos I've run every red light on memory lane
I've seen desperation explode into flames
And I don't want to see it again. . .
From all of these signs saying sorry but we're closed
all the way down the telegraph road

(Instrumental)
