1. LAUNDROMAT

What do you think of that?
I'm sleeping down at the laundromat,
If you should pass by,
Be sure to drop right in.
Well I don't have no clothes to clean,
To put inside the machine,
It was the craziest place,
I have ever been.

Come 'round and meet my friends,
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.

They say I told you so,
Maybe bad times come and go,
If you don't know that right now,
But then you'll never know.

Well I don't have no clothes to clean,
To put inside the machine,
It's the craziest place,
I have ever been.

Come 'round and meet my friends
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.

They say I told you so,
But baby bad times come and go,
If you don't know that right now,
But then you'll never know.

What do you think of that,
I'm on the street like an old stray cat,
If you should look for me,
You'd know exactly where to go.

Come 'round and meet my friends
They'll be there with me,
With me to the end,
With me to the end,
With me to the end.

3. I TAKE WHAT I WANT

Owwww....
Well, I take what I want,
I'm a bad go-getter, yeah, that`s what I am.
I never lose and I ain't no quitter yet,
'Cos I take what I want, and baby, I want you.

Well, I've been watching you walk by,
And I have not said a word, not one word.
But now I'm out to get you, baby,
And I'm gonna make you my girl, my loving girl.
'Cos I take what I want and baby I want you.

Gonna pick you up now baby,
And carry you away.
So you`d better pack up now baby,
Pack it up today.
Well here I am, I'm just a big bad man.
When I walk away baby,
You'll be holding my hand.

I take what I want,
Well, I'm a bad go-getter, yeah.
Yeah.
I never lose and I ain't no quitter yet.
'Cos I take what I want,
And baby, I want you.

Well, I'm a bad go-getter yeah.

4. BOUGHT AND SOLD


All right...
I'm feeling bought and sold,
You're just a three card trickster.
That's something I should've known,
All the good's sure gone bitter.

Hear me now, hear me right.

You think you've got it made,
You think you've got my number.
You'd better check again,
I don't intend to stay here.

Hear me now, hear me right.

It's time-wasting,
Checking up on you.
You're high-flying,
You'll be crash-landing soon.

That's true.
All right.

You want your world my friend,
I think those days are numbered.
I've had it up to here,
Everything's come asunder.

Hear me now, hear me right.

I'm feeling bought and sold,
You're just a three card trickster.
That's something I should've known,
All the good's sure gone bitter.

Hear me now, hear me right.



5. DO YOU READ ME


Do you read me, well won't you tell me?
If you read me, then please believe me, when I say,
Yes I've been waiting, seems like forever.
I've been waiting, my situation ain't got much better,
Well I've been waiting, the situation don't get much better.

You don't do unto others as you do unto me,
Well, why am I the only one that treats you this way?
Well, you got that something and it's hard to specify,
I can't diagnose that look in your eyes.

You don't do unto me, like I know you could,
Why am I the only one who's misunderstood?
Ashes to ashes, and it's dust to dust,
Well, if you won't take me then I guess the devil must.

I've been hurting, my hearts been burning,
I've been hurting, but I've been learning, just the same.

Well, I've been waiting, seems like forever,
While I've been waiting,
My situation ain't got much better,
While I've been waiting,
The situation ain't got much better,
I've been waiting,
The situation don't get much better.



6. LAST OF THE INDEPENDANTS

I caught the Red-Eye at midnight,
In the nick of time,
On the 747,
And we soon were flying high.
Lord, I had no time to lose,
Things were getting hot,
Only I know where we stashed the loot,
The mob wants to know the spot.

They got the muscle in from Cleveland,
The fire-power from Detroit,
They missed me in New Jersey,
Though things got pretty tight.

Well, they caught my scent in Richmond,
At the Hotel Savoy,
But I got out the laundry shute,
And went to Chicago, Illinois.

I'm the Last of the Independents,
Yeah, they're searching coast to coast,
Only I know where we hid the loot,
Eleven years ago.

I caught the Red-Eye at midnight,
In the nick of time,
On the 747,
We soon were high and wide.

The moon was laughing at me,
Like it did not have a care,
But I just smiled right back and said,
"You ain't going anywhere".

Well, I want out of the rackets,
And the numbers game,
'Cos when you cross the big boss,
You only got yourself to blame.

I won't sing like a canary,
And I won't go naming names,
Well, I don't need police protection,
Well, I'll play it my own way.

I'm the Last of the Independents,
Well, I play by my own rules,
Yes, I'm the Last of the Independents,
The Syndicate, well, it don't approve.
Yeoowww...

Well, I'm the Last of the Independents,
Well, I got to keep on the move,
Well, I'm the Last of the Independents,
Well, I got no time to lose,
Time to lose,
Time to lose,
Yeoowww.

I've got no time,
Well, I've got no time to lose,
Well, I've got no time,
Well, I've got no time to lose,
Well, I've got no time,
Well, I've got no time to lose,
Well, I've got no time,
Well, I've got no time to lose



7. OFF THE HANDLE

Awwwuh...oh yeah.
Well, I fly off the handle a little too quick,
Just call me a nervous man.
For the last week or two, it don't take too much,
To make me wanna raise the sand.

Yeah...

Well, it's one of those days,
When you`d rather not be,
So low down and dirty,
Your luck's out at sea.

Owwww....

Well, I fly off the handle a little too fast,
You know, friends say I look like an angry man.
Like a bad memory you turned up again,
I find it hard not to raise my hand.

Well, it's one of those towns,
Where you'd rather not stay,
Come back and see it some other day.

Oh Yeah... oh come on...

It's one of those nights
When you know you're alone,
Feeling half-crazy, just body and soul.

Well, my cat won't scratch, or show its claws,
It just prowls round the house all day.
For the last night or two, I can't eat or drink,
I think I'm gonna fade away.

Well, it's one of those things
Where you'd rather not be,
So low down and lonesome,
Your luck's out at sea.

Eeee..eeee...eeee...oww..


8. MISSISSIPPI SHEIKS

I saw the mississipi sheiks
On the corner of the street,
Oh, was it just a dream,
Like I've been traveling in a time machine.

Ohhh.

So come along with me,
Back to the southern streets,

I saw old Peg Leg Howell,
His gang was making quite a sound,
I heard Bo Carter wail,
And that git-fiddle-combo played.

Come along and see,
The Mississippi Sheiks

Come on.....

What you gotta lose,
Can't ya hear me callin', calling you?
To beware should you fall, You've never lived at all,
Till you've done that Georgia crawl,

Well, I hear you little girl,
You say you've been around this world.
From Moscow to Abilene,
But there is one place you've yet to see,

So, come along and see,
The Mississippi Sheiks.



9. OUT ON THE WESTERN PLAIN

Working hard on the bridle reins.

Gotta kickstart today,
Wind up my machine and I'll be on my way.
Owwww....
Well, a burning fever
Woke me up at the dawn,
I didn't have a choice, I had to carry on.

Well, my engine's overheating
And I'm running out of gas,

11. PHILBY


Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul,
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city,
I can't come in from the cold,
I'm deep in action on a secret mission,
Contact's broken down,
Time drags by, I'm above suspicion,
There's a voice on the telephone
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Well it sure is dark in this clockwork city,
Contact's never gonna show,
I've got a code which can't be broken,
My eyes never seem to close,
Well, I'm standing here in the silent city,
Shadows falling down,
I'm disconnected but I don't need pity,
The night's gonna burn on slow.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Now ain't it funny that I feel like Philby,
A stranger on a foreign shore,
I've got my plans and I must move quickly,
There's a knock upon the door,
Still in transit and I'm close to danger,
My cover can't be blown,
It's getting strange and it's getting crazy,
Tell me, what is going on?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Four o'clock and nothing's moving,
Six o'clock and the daylight's stirring,
A Morning comes, must be moving on.
All night long my mind's been burning,
Makes me feel such a long, long way from home,

Now ain't it strange that I feel like Philby,
There's a stranger in my soul
I'm lost in transit in a lonesome city
I can't come in from the cold
