1. JUKE BOX GYPSY

Juke box gypsy jangle
Shake your silver bangle
Dancin' all night ‘cause it feels alright
Hold your dress up high.

Sweet baby, send me
Be-bop baby, bend me
You look so good, make me wish you would
Hold your dress up high.

I'm so sure that you got the cure
For anybody feelin' insecure
One injection and it feels alright
One more poke and you can do it all night.

Juke box gypsy, shake me
Juke box gypsy, break me
If I get out of hand, just pass me a gland
And hold your dress up high.

I'm so sure that you got the cure
For anybody feelin' insecure
One injection and it feels alright
One more poke and you can do it all night.

Juke box gypsy jangle
Shove your silver bangle
Dancin' all night ‘cause it feels alright
Hold your dress up high
Hold your dress up high
Hold your dress up high
Hold your dress up high.


2. WARM FEELING

Sittin' by the fire glow,
Waitin' for my girl to show,
Feelin' the harmony grow.
I met her just the other day,
She has helped me find my way.
Feelin' the harmony grow.

I wish I had found her a long time ago.
Now, I don't need to wonder any more.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.

Been together so much more,
Than i've ever known before.
Feelin' the harmony grow.

I need her more than ever now,
It all seems so right, somehow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.

I never met anyone like her before,
Now all the rest don't matter anymore.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.

I get a warmin' feelin' at the mention of her name.
She's brought the sun in my life,
As she drove out all of the rain.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.

I get a warm feelin' when you're near me.
I get a warm feelin' when you're holdin' me.
I feel the love rushes hangin' round me,
Even when you're gone.
Even when you're gone.
Honey, when you're gone.

Feelin' the harmony grow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.
Feelin' the harmony grow.


3. WOMAN

Woman so good, woman so bad
Woman take a happy thing and make it into sad
Woman so strong, woman so weak
Woman so terrifyingly unique.

Woman out ahead, woman so strange
Woman take the words that you’ve said
She passes them through her brain
Then it's all changed but it's still the same.

Woman is a friend of the meek, a master of the mild
A woman of the world and a frightened little child
Oh, woman, be good to me.

Woman is a friend of the meek, a master of the mild
A woman of the world and a frightened little ..

Woman so cool, woman so hot
Only takes a fool of a man to miss everything she's got
And I hope it's not me ‘cause I'd dearly like to see.

A woman like you taking time with a waster like me
And we'll do what we do and we'll see what we see
And we'll feel what we feel and we'll feel to be free
Oh, woman, be good to me
Be good to me, woman
Be good to me, real woman
Be good to me, oh woman
Be good to me, yeah
Be good to me
You got to be good to me
You got to be good to me
Oh, woman ...


4. ONLY ALONE

How long does it take to forget
The face that haunts your dreamtime ?
And how many years does it take to regret
The times spent in between time ?

Oh, you're not lonely, you're only alone
And I know you've got friends and they're on the telephone
Far be it from me to question your sanity
‘Cause in the end, friend, we're all on our own.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf
No, I'm not lonely, I'm only passing time
In a week or two I'm telling you it's gonna turn, turn out fine.

How long does it take to wake up ?
How long to adventure ?
Past illusions timeless make up
Into time forever ?

Oh, you're not lonely, you're only alone
And I know you've got friends and they're on the telephone
Far be it from me to question your sanity
‘Cause in the end, friend, we're all on our own.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf
No, I'm not lonely, I'm only passing time
In a week or two I'm telling you it's gonna turn, turn out fine.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show, got the books waiting on the shelf
No, I'm not lonely, I'm only passing time
In a week or two I'm telling you it's gonna turn, turn out fine.

No, I'm not lonely, I'm only here by myself
Got the radio, got the record show but I'm only here by myself.


5. RUN FOR HOME

I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls
But they don't mean a lot to me.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've been to the places in town where the faces
Hang 'round just to stare at each other
I've looned with them, scream at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've travelled the land, made mistakes out of hand
Seen the faces in the places misunderstand
Yes, I've travelled the world, seen the pretty boys and girls
Heard the noise that destroys and commands.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.


6. KINGS CROSS BLUES

Early train starts on time
Everybody else is feeling fine
Reading the papers and studying the form
And the people just taking this as norm.

Except me
I don't seem to function till at least a quarter to three
Stare at the floor
I don't want to take this Kings Cross train no more.

I'm drinking whiskey at the bar
Can't afford the dining car
Ruddy faced soldiers drink and curse
Buy themselves out if it gets worse.

Grates on me
‘Cause I don't even share the same philosophy
Leaving the bar
Well, I wish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so far.

Kings Cross blues
Kings Cross blues.

Kings Cross blues
Kings Cross blues.

Well, taking this journey to the South
To find work to feed the extra mouth
I'll find it hard to have to say
‘Cause they don't talk the same way.

Grates on me
Well, I don't even share the same philosophy
Leaving the bar
Oh, wish that Kings Cross station didn't have to be so far.

Kings Cross blues
Kings Cross blues
Kings Cross blues
Kings Cross blues.


7. GET WISE

You think you're outrageous, you just talking too loud
You think you're a loner, you just one of the crowd
You think you're a flier, you never been off the ground
You say you're a seeker, you just looking around.

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)
Who gonna wait ? (don't leave it too late)
You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)
You gotta get wise.

You think you're a raver, you don't go any place
You think you're so sociable, you're just a social disgrace
The world owes your favours, I can see it in your face
You think you're a lion but you’re just a rat in the race.

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)
Who gonna wait ? (don't leave it too late)
You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)
You gotta get wise (you gotta get wise).

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)
Who gonna wait ? (don't leave it too late)
You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)
You gotta get wise.

The world is a mistress but she's nobody's wife
You might own the living but you don't own the life
And life is forgiving, forgiving is free
This song is for you but it's also for me.

You gotta get wise (open your eyes)
Who gonna wait ? (don't leave it too late)
You gotta realise (you gotta get wise)
You gotta get wise (you gotta get wise).

You gotta get wise
Wise.


8. YOU AND ME

I've spent my days in restless ways
I messed around with waits and strays
But after all, that's what I wanted.

She was simply searching for
Another house, another door
When she knocked on mine, she got it.

I opened up her eyes to situations
She had previously denied
Even existed.

And once or twice, I made her cry
Heaven knows I didn't try
To foul it up or twist it.

(The walrus and the carpenter, the whiting and the snail)
(The lightning and the winds that wail)
And all the freaks that ever were and the weirds that will be
Got nothing on you and me (got nothing on you and me).

(The walrus and the carpenter, the whiting and the snail)
(The lightning and the winds that wail)
And all the freaks that ever were and the weirds that will be
Got nothing on you and me (got nothing on you and me).

You and me are gonna be
The sensation of the seventies
They'll maybe even build us a statue.

And in some distant future day
When we're strolling down the promenade
You'll turn to me and say : 'Is that you ?'.

(The walrus and the carpenter, the whiting and the snail)
(The lightning and the winds that wail)
And all the freaks that ever were and the weirds that will be
Got nothing on you and me (got nothing on you and me).

You and me
Me, you and me
You and me
You and me, that’s all.


9. MARSHALL RILEY'S ARMY

In October '36 they took a trip, the men who made the ships
Searching for some kind of salvation
With head held high and dignified, the townsfolk and the passers-by
Held them in some kind of admiration.

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

Soldiers in the front line of the struggle for the right to work
Did God give me these hands just to be idle ?
While his holiness the Bishop with his infinite Christian wisdom
Like Peter when the cock crew had denied them.

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

And the yes men and the press men to London town all came down
And brought with them the curious and deranged
And forty years has since gone past but you're still down there if you're working class
Can anybody tell me what has changed ?

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?


10. ANGELS AT ELEVEN

I once wished on a star
When I was young, naive and playful
But the star didn't come through
I thought it was disgraceful, distateful.

I once dreamed me a dream
A wild imagination
But the truth couldn't stand up
To cross examination, interrogation.

But oh, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't care, I just go.

And you do, do what you can
Pass a little friendly conversation
No great thoughts of man
That's well beyond your station, your situation.

But oh, when you're lying beside me
I swear that the angels guide me
Where ? I don't know, I just go.

And the dream's been wished on a star
And the star's wandering 'round Heaven
And you're here by my side
We're angels at eleven.


11. MAKE ME WANT TO STAY

I've lived my life like a railroad
I've been here, I've been there, I've been everywhere
But I've never seen a sight like I witnessed here tonight
Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I'll be happy to stay the night.

I've done some right things, done some wrong things
Done some weird, some weak and some strong things
I’ve heard every point of view, fought till I was black and blue
Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I swear I'll cook the breakfast for two.

Make me want to stay, babe
Make me want to stay.

The cards I played were always jacks or aces
So much easier to deal to different faces
But the face I was looking for was the one that opened the door
Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I'll probably stay forever more.

Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay
Make me want to stay, babe
Make me want to stay.

Make me want to stay, babe
Make me want to stay
Really want to stay, babe
Really want to stay.

Make me want to stay, make me want to stay
And I'll probably stay forever more.
