1. HUNTING SHOOTING FISHING

I ride a mare with a neck of steel
I pack a spare with a loaded wheel
Shoes and tie made of rhino hide
I keep an eye on the country side

I'm hunting - shooting - fishing
Ahead of the pack
I keep an eye over my shoulder
But I never look back

I carry cash buried in my boot
I spit on thrash that I pass en route
I pay each fine with a mental note
I sign no line and decline to vote

I'm hunting - shooting - fishing
Ahead of the pack
I keep an eye over my shoulder
But I never look back
I never look back

- Guitar Solo -

I keep no files and no fixed abode
I eat up miles on a twisted road
I fight the sky with a lightning rod
I'm riding high by the grace of God

I know the names of the men and dives
I've heard the claims of their tortured wives
I've searched for clues caught 'em in the act
They've blown a fuse when I've made contact

I'm hunting - shooting - fishing
Ahead of the pack
I keep an eye over my shoulder
But I never look back
I never look back
I never look back
I never look back

- Guitar Outro -


2. BREAK THESE CHAINS

I just want to seek your love
And you to call my name
But I'm tied to another heart
Like a ball and chain
Shackled to a touch
That's as cold as steel
And all I need is for you to say to me

That our love is real to break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
So break these chains

You have opened my eyes
And I've finally seen
Love turns to a tie that binds when it's judgemeny day
She is not my lover
She's just a prison door
Say the words you know will turn me loose
I can't take this pain no more

Break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
So break these chains

Straps so tight they're cutting me
Cuts so deep they make my heart bleed
Only you could set me free
All it takes is your touch

To break these chains

- Guitar Solo -

I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would
break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never be the same
I don't wanna go back - no
Just to know you love me would break these chains
I don't wanna go back - no
She and I will never never be the same
Oh Lord - break these chains
Never never never never never going back
I don't wanna go back - no
Oh Lord - break these chains


3. HEARTBEAT

Night has fallen
All is still
The room is empty
I miss you so bad
Sitting in the moonlight
I think of times gone by
Painful memories
Bringing tears to my eyes

I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
I thought I heard a heartbeat

Temperature's rising
The walls are closing in
I can't stand the feeling
Here it comes again

I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
I thought I heard a heartbeat

Night sounds like silence
Sorrow(?) in the air
I hear something breathing

But there ain't no-one there
I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here

Close my eyes and a face appears
Faded picture rolling back the years
Holding on to a memory
Same sweet sound - coming back to me

- Harmonica Solo -

Temperature's rising
The walls are closing in
I can't stand that feeling
Here it comes again

I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
I thought I heard a heartbeat
But you ain't here
I thought I heard a heartbeat
I thought I heard a heartbeat
I thought I heard a heartbeat...


4. (I WANNA) MAKE LOVE TO YOU

How could I explain
This feeling that's true
Honey I can hardly stand it

I wanna make love to you

When the stars fall from the heavens
And the rivers have stopped to flow
If you just stop and talk to me
Honey that's when I know
I ain't gonna try and tell ya
How it's made me so blue
Sitting alone and wondering

I wanna make love to you
Please stop and tell me
Tell me you want me too
Oh come on baby

I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you

- Guitar Solo -

When the stars fall from the heavens
And the rivers have stopped to flow
If you just stop and talk to me
Honey that's when I'd know

I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
Uh come on baby
I wanna make love to you
I wanna make love to you
I can't stand it baby
Make love to you
I wanna make love to you

Uh talk to me
I wanna make love to you


5. HIGHWAY 61 REVISITED

God said to Abraham 'Kill me a son'
Abe said 'Man, you must be putting me on'
God said 'No' - Abe said 'What?'
God said 'You can do what you want Abe,
but next time you see me coming you better run'
Abe said 'Where'd you want this killing done?'

God said 'Out on Highway 61'

Georgia Sam he had a bloody nose
The Wellfare Department they wouldn't give him no clothes
He asked Poor Howard 'Where can I go?'
Howard says 'There's only one place I know'
Sam said 'Tell me quick man I got to run'
Oh, Howard he just pointed with his gun

He said 'That's way down Highway 61'

Mack the Finger said to Louis the King
'I got fourty red-white-blue shoe strings
and a thousand telephones that don't ring
Do you know where I can get rid of these things?'
Louis the King said 'Let me think for a minute son'
And he said 'Yes, I think it can be easily done -

Just take everything down to Highway 61'

Well the 5th daughter on the 12th night
Told the 1st father that things weren't right
My complexion she says is much too white
He says 'Come here step into the light'
He says 'Mam you're right - let me tell
the 2nd mother this has been love'
But the 2nd mother was with the 7th son

And they were both out on Highway 61

Now the roving gambler he was very bored
Trying to create a next World War
He found a promoter who nearly fell on the floor
He said 'I never engaged in this kind of thing before'
But yes, I think it can be very easily done
Well just put some bleachers out in the sun

And head it out on Highway 61


6. LIGHTS OF DOWNTOWN


(No lyrics avalaible)


7. QUIT WHILE YOU'RE BEHIND

You had a reputation
Talk can be so unkind
You loved above your station
It messed up your mind
Take this information

And quit while you're behind

Kicked out of his bed
Now you might go blind
His line is dead
And your face is lined
You'll only get ahead

If you quit while you're behind

You got to get out while you can and run
You got to pay the price, once you've had your fun
Once you've had your fun yeah

- Harmonica Break -

You lost your inhibitions
Now they're hard to find
You made the late editions
In the daily grind
Forget your superstitions

And quit while you're behind


8. NOTHING LIKE IT

I might buy me a Jaguar
I might fly to Nicaragua
Maybe sail up the Amazon
Or take a fast train to Basildon

Honolulu sounds very nice
But I've already been there twice
I'll think I'll go Mediterranean
Just to get back on the sea again

Well there's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
Well here's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
I only have to pick up the telephone
But I'll guess I'll just stay here
'Cause there's no place like home

- Guitar Solo -

I like the idea of a chevrolet
But I'll have better when I get my pay
I'm gonna get me a Mercury
Or maybe stick with my 2CV

Got my bags packed for Peking
But I'll stay and fix the ceiling
While I'm here take in a TV show
I'll should be off by tomorrow

Well there's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
I only have to pick up the telephone
But I'll guess I'll just stay here
'Cause there's no place like home

- Guitar Solo -

I might buy me a Jaguar
I might fly to Nicaragua
Maybe sail up the Amazon
Or take a fast train to Basildon

Honolulu sounds very nice
But I've already been there twice
I'll think I'll go Mediterranean
Just to get back on the sea again

Well there's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
There's nothing like it

I only have to pick up the telephone
But I'll guess I'll just stay here
'Cause there's no place like home
Guess I'll just stay here
'Cause there's no place like home
Guess I'll just stay here
'Cause there's no place like home

Well there's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
Well there's nothing like it
There's nothing like it
Well there's nothing like it...


9. SPY VS SPY

I'm checking on you
You're checking on me
The moment we walk out the door
We're battered and blue
I'm reckoning we
Don't trust each other no more

[Chorus]
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
No peace and quiet
There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy

You're running around
You're going outside
Trying to catch me with some blonde
I'm moving uptown
I'm ready to ride
Hey not so fast Mrs Bond

[Chorus]
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
No peace and quiet
There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy

- Guitar Solo -

We're looking for leads
We're searching for clues
We're looking for anything
That we can use, yeah
I'm checking on you

You're checking on me
The moment we walk out the door
We're battered and blue
I'm reckoning we
Don't trust each other no more

[Chorus]
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
No peace and quiet
There's not a dry eye
In the house where we live
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy
Life is a riot
With Spy Vs Spy


10. HURRICANE

Lookin' at the blood red sky (Alone in my window)
Heard another distant cry (Alone in my window)
Wind up and I go inside (Alone in my window)
I gotta have another try
Rushin' by the blood red tide (Alone in my window)
Can't swallow and my mouth is dry (Alone in my window)
I just can't grip another line (Alone in my window)
Watchin' my time pass me by - In my window say yeah

When the hurricane comes to town
When the hurricane comes to town
When the hurricane comes...

I hollered don't ask me why (Alone in my window)
I was supposed to get another try (Alone in my window)
And no-one told me how to ride (Alone in my window)
It's funny how it all slips by - In my window say yeah

When the hurricane comes to town
When the hurricane comes to town
When the hurricane comes...

- Guitar Solo -

Comin' back here in a hot July (Alone in my window)
With my net I'm huntin' dragonflies (Alone in my window)
Mama's callin', gotta go inside (Alone in my window)
Sunsettin' in the golden sky - In my window say yeah

When the hurricane comes to town
When the hurricane comes to town
When the hurricane comes to town


11. CRACK ME UP

Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up

When the smoke begins to clear
On the circus you got here
We see the poor boy wait
And the hour is getting late

Crack me up
The way you run the place
Crack me up

But there's no smile upon my my face
It don't make me feel so grand
That you got the upper hand
And it's bound to bring me down
But it's the only show in town

Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up

I beg and I bawl, I hope you'll hear my plea
But you sit in that chair, your back to me
I shake and I shout, I call for something wet
But you just sit and smoke that cigarette

Crack me up
The way you run the show
Crack me up
Need somewhere to go

- Guitar Solo -

I don't feel so grand
That you got the upper hand
And it's bound to bring me down
But it's the only show in town

Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up
Crack me up
You really crack me up


12. SEE YOU LATER ALLIGATOR

When I saw my baby walking
with another man today
When I saw my baby walking
with another man today
When I asked her what's the matter, this is what I heard her say

[chorus]
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style

When I thought of what she told me
Nearly made me lose my head
When I thought of what she told me
Nearly made me lose my head
But the next time that I saw her
Reminded her of what she said

[chorus]

Break – Harmonica Solo Saxophone Solo –

She said, I'm sorry pretty daddy, you knew my love is just for you
She said, I'm sorry pretty daddy, you knew my love is just for you
Won't you say that you'll forgive me and say your love for me is true

I said, wait a minute gator, I know you meant it just for play
I said, wait a minute gator, I know you meant it just for play
Don't you know you really hurt me, this is what I have to say

[chorus]
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style

See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
See you later alligator, in a while crocodile
Don't you know you're in my way now
Don't you know you cramp my style
