DISC 1

1. PICTURES OF MATCHSTICK MEN

When I look up to the skies
I see your eyes a funny kind of yellow
I rush home to bed I soak my head
I see your face underneath my pillow
I wake next morning, tired, still yawning
See your face come peeping through my window

Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

Windows echo your reflection
When I look in their direction now
When will this haunting stop?
Your face it just won't leave me alone

Pictures of matchstick men and you
Mirages of matchstick men and you
All I ever see is them and you

You in the sky, you with this guy
you make men cry, you lie
You in the sky, you with this guy
you make men cry, you lie

Pictures of matchstick men and
Pictures of matchstick men and you
Pictures of matchstick men ....


2. ICE IN THE SUN

I'm not a little boy, I've lived alone and never loved so more
But when she touches me I'm on the way, I'm underneath the floor

Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like in in the sun I melt away

I sit down in a chair and read a book as if I couldn't there
But she is in a room and I must look I see her everywhere

Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like in in the sun I melt away

She opens up her eyes as if to speak
She looks at me and I am weak
Her eyes they seem much bigger than before

I cannot think anymore
Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like in in the sun I melt away

Like ice in the sun I melt away
Whenever she comes I melt away
Like ice in the sun I melt away


3. DOWN THE DUSTPIPE

Heading down the back turnpike, signposts are pointing west
Fell into the lonely dustpipe, hope my pick-up can stand the test
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans
Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Guess I didn't make it in the city, but that's just the way that it goes
'Cos there's a lotta lunatics, crazy ghostmen, baby, don't like the shape of my nose
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans
Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans
But I'm doing all right now
Rolling down the dustpipe, na-na-na-na nana-na-nana-na

Rolling down the dustpipe now, got a ten dollar bill in my jeans
Because there ain't no room for a kosher cowboy in a town like New Orleans
But I'm doing all right now..


4. IN MY CHAIR

I saw her talking, now
My ears were burning
Her feet startet walking, now
They started turning
My eyes were half open
But she didn't see me there
We ran along, walking 'cross the roof-tops
In my chair

Had a car in my pocket
And we started moving
A man in a helmet said
"What's that you're using"
My eyes were half open
But we didn't see him there
Put the car back in my pocket
And I'm still here in my chair

My teeth were laughing, now
We couldn't stop smiling
We danced to the Mystery Band
Without even trying
My eyes were half open
But we didn't see them there
We ran along, walking 'cross the roof-tops
In my chair


5. PAPER PLANE

Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realised my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly

Riding on a long blue paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the foglifts, make it clearer
Then I realised my paperplane
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my paperplane

Riding in a three grand Deutche car
A to B is often very far
Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
Then I realised my Deutche car
Is only there to get me somewhere
Even so I really do care
Would you like to ride my Deutche car


6. MEAN GIRL

Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one
A mean, mean girl
I never had one as greedy as that one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

She was a big one, a met-at-a-gig once
A mean, mean girl
I felt a sick one, she was a quick one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

Now I'm a sad one, and she was a bad one
A mean, mean girl
I never had one as greedy as that one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more

She was a big one, a met-at-a-gig once
A mean, mean girl
I felt a sick one, she was a quick one
A mean, mean girl

Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
I guess she's not the kind that I was looking for
Mean, mean, mean, mean girl
She said I was the first but there were many more


7. CAROLINE

If you want to turn me onto
Anything you really want to
Turn me onto your love sweet love

If the night-time is the right time
Anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll

When I'm thinking of you sleeping
I'm at home alone and weeping
Are you keeping your love sweet love

Do you still care when I'm not there
Do you really wish I was there
Can I come there for love sweet love

Come on sweet Caroline
You're my sweet Caroline
You know I want to take you
I've really got to make you
Come on sweet Caroline
Take my hand together we can rock-n-roll


8. BREAK THE RULES

Spent a long, long evening
In a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady
With a long black honky-tonk car
I asked no questions
I got no lies
A one off winner
I didn't want any ties
And I knew it wasn't right
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Took me down on the highway
Doing too many miles an hour
By the way she motored
Thought we might have made the Eiffel Tower
She stopped the motor
By her own front door
I knew she'd done it
So many times before
But I was off of the floor
But, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I woke up next moring
Feeling kind of up and down
'Cos I did not know
If I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face
From the night before
My purse was empty
Lying there on the floor
But like I told you before
That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I spend a low down evening
Sitting high on a honky-tonk stool
And I spent my money
Like a low down honky-tonk fool
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules


9. DOWN DOWN

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I want all the world to see
To see you're laughing
And you're laughing at me
I can take it all from you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have all the ways you see
To keep you guessing
Stop your messing with me
You'll be back to find your way
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down

Get down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down deeper and down

I have found out you see
I know what you're doing
What you`re doing to me
I'll keep on and say to you
Again again again again again again again
Deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Down down deeper and down
Get down


10. ROLL OVER LAY DOWN

When I got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Taking a drink cool from the fridge from the table
I drank a toast you were the most the night before

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Taking a drink cool from the fridge from the table
I drank a toast you were the most the night before

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down


11. RAIN

How can I see what I'm leaving for
How can I give what I gave before
How can you tell me that you want me to stay
How can I stay when I'm trying to say
That I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain

How can I feel what I'm trying to feel
How can move when I'm heel to heel
You're always shouting about the doubt in my eye
But I can't answer 'cos my eyes are so dry
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain

I can live without the rain
That's falling on my head
Rain that's falling on my head

Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling
Rain that's falling on my head

I started thinking back to you know when
I'd like to send a line but then again
How can I write you when there ain't no light
I'm feeling thight tonight and that's alright
Now I can live without the rain
Yes I can live without the rain


12. MYSTERY SONG

I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face
I see that look on your face

The boys know what you're giving
You give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living
You've got the boys all on the run
S.T's showing, you really got me going
Maybe you can give me a price
I wanna try it, yeh I wanna buy it
Tell me would you treat me nice
Oh my legs are shaking
Oh my heart is breaking
I'm just feeling like a boy
Now I just can't slow down
Gotta get in go down
Have my share of pride and joy

Now I've got your name and number
I like to look upon your face
And now you know that I wanna take you
Give me the time you can name the place
Call me honey, you can take my money
Maybe we can make a deal
I really mean it, gotta get between it
Do you know the way I feel
Oh I'm feeling kinda
Like I've gotta find
A way to make you understand
Oh I know you're lying
And your love I'm buying
Oh I'm feeling like a man

The boys know what you're giving
You give the boys such a lot of fun
And by the way that you make a living
You've got the boys all on the run
S.T's showing, really got them going
You can even say the price
They'll wanna try it, even wanna buy it
If you really treat them nice
But I'd rather take you
Show that I can make you
Good enough for just one man
Oh I'm feeling kinda
Like I've gotta find
A way to make you understand


13. WILD SIDE OF LIFE

Well, you wouldn't read my letters if I wrote you
You ask me not to call you on the phone
Well, there's something I've been waiting for to tell you
So I wrote it in the words of a song

The glamor of the gay night life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquer flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

Now the glamour of the gay that life has lured you
To the places where the wine and liquer flow
Well, you went to be some body else's baby
And forget the truest love you ever know

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

I never knew there where honky-tonk angels
Oh, I might have know you never make a wife
You gave up the only one that ever loved you
And went back to that wild side of life

15. AGAIN AND AGAIN

Once upon a time not so very long ago
There wasn't such a thing as a rock'n roll show
You had to sit at home and listen to the radio

Then came a man with a rockin'guitar
Found himself a beat and he played it near and far
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

He travelled round the world in a rock-n-roll band
He stood there like a giant with a guitar in his hand
Everybody danced and sang and let the good times roll

Nobody cared about the clothes he would wear
Nobody cared about the colour of his hair
Everybody came to see and let the good times roll

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

Now we've got the rhythm in us now we've got the rock
Time didn't matter never living by the clock
Everybody came to hear him playing his rock-n-roll

Then came a line when the music didn't rhyme
He couldn't find the rhythm cos he couldn't find the time
But still the people came to listen to the good times roll

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Again again again again, again again again again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again
Why don't you do it, why don't you do it again

You pay your money
You take your choice
Whatever you need
Whatever you use
Whatever you win
Whatever you loose

You're showing off
You're showing out
You look for trouble
Turn around, give me a shout
I take it all
You squeeze me dry
And now today
You couldn't even say goodbye

I could take you home
On the midnight train again
I could make an offer you can't refuse

Whatever you want

17. LIVING ON AN ISLAND

Easy when you're number one
Everybody say you're having fun
Smiling for the public eye
When your body say you wanna die
Living on an island
Looking at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Hugh he got a real nice place
Cruxie gonna be there soon
And I just want to see his face
I'm getting lonely in my empty room
Living on an island
Working at another line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high

Passing time away in blue skies
Thinking of the smile in her eyes
Easy, it's easy

Living on an island
Oh boy, we're having fun
Living on an island
Thinking 'bout the things I've done
Living on an island
Searching for an other line
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
Waiting for my friend to come
And we'll get high
I said we're gonna get high
Yeah, we're gonna get high
We're gonna touch the sky
sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...sky...


18. WHAT YOU'RE PROPOSIN'

It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

What you're proposin' the other night
As I was leavin', I looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'

What you're proposin', now get it right
If I'm composin', but then I might
Be runny nosin'
I might be runny runny runny runny nosin'
But you're supposin'

Don't be so sure, and just supposin'
We yell for more, and compromisin'
And compromisin' leads to really really feelin'

And just supposin', don't get me wrong
I'm only dreamin', it can't be long
I must be dreamin'
I must be dreamin', dreamin', only only dreamin'
Am I just supposin'

It sounds so nice, what you're proposin'
Just once or twice, and not disclosin'
And not disclosin' how we're really really feelin'

What you're proposin' the other night
As I was leavin', I looks left and right
And not believin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin'
And not believin' that I'd finally be leavin'
What you're proposin'
What you're proposin'
What you're proposin'


19. LIES

I had another drink after another drink and then I tried to Crawl to the door
I had another smoke after another joke and then I couldn't Take any more
It didn't change a thing, not any single thing, when someone Tried to tell me for sure
I heard another voice that said I wasn't in a dream
I read a word or two about everything
I never knew the way that it oughta have been
They never told me a thing about it
I never did know a thing about it
And the lies in the eyes of a thousand eyes they won't go Away
And the times that I tried are the times that I find they Don't show today

Anyway it's a sad sad song been sung

Dear John I've broken away

I just got your letter baby, too bad you can't come home
I swear I'm going crazy, sitting here all alone
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues

Whoops there goes a tear drop, a-rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace

I ain't slept a wink since Sunday, I can't eat a thing all day
And every day is just Blue Monday since you've been away
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues

Whoops there goes a tear drop, a rolling down my face
And if you cry when you're alone it's surely no disgrace

I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues

I gotta get myself together before I lose my mind
I'm gonna catch-a the next train going, and leave my blues behind
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues
Since you gone I got a mess of the blues


5. MARGUERITA TIME

Captured my heart
Captured my memory
Captured a time for me
I could see
A time for me
Is gonna be

Deep in my heart
Deep in my memory
Deep in a part of me
Heart of me
Meant to be history
Could it be that I'm still wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Picture a dream
Picture a fantasy
Picture a mood of me
Mystery you and me a mystery

Lost in a dream
Lost in a fantasy
Lost in what seemed to be
Dreams to be
Seemed to be
Had to be
Couldn't find no other reason

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you

Lets have a drink
It's Marguerita time
It's Marguerita time
After nine
Summer time
Any time
You'll still always find me wondering

I never knew what had happened to me
I didn't think it was true
That I could be just like anyone else
I'll take my chance with you


6. GOING DOWN TOWN TONIGHT

I'm going down town tonight, I'm gonna find myself a dream
I'm gonna dress up right, and be the best they've ever seen
You can tell from their eyes, you can tell from their eyes
That they're never impressed, that they're never impressed
From the way they walk round, from the way they walk round
They are used to the best, they are used to the best

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Why let them break you in with self-sophisticated praise
'cos when the cards are low you see the smile come on their face
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Just one thing before you go my ladies of the night
Just one thing I have to say I've got you, and you're
Confident and debonair you move between the stars
Hungry for those staring eyes that fill your waking hours

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight

Your face is all run dry with all the echoes of the night
And so I'm home alone, I wash my head and hold on tight
If you speak the right words, if you speak the right words
They will hear what you say, they will hear what you say
They will take your attention, just take your attention
And then turn away, and then turn away

Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight
Going down town tonight, going down town tonight


7. THE WANDERER

Well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cos to me their all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze them, they don't even know my name
They call me the Wanderer, yeah the Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round

Well there's Flo on my left and there's Mary on my right
But Janie is the girl, well, that I'll be with tonight
And when she asks me which one I love the best
I'll tear open my shirt and show them Rosie on my chest
'Cos I'm a Wnderer, yeah a Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round

Well I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron I'm goin' nowhere

Well I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself falling for some girl
Well I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'Cos I'm a Wanderer, yeah the Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round and round and round

Well I roam from town to town
I go through life without a care
And I'm as happy as a clown
With my two fists of iron I'm goin' nowhere

Well I'm the type of guy that likes to roam around
I'm never in one place I roam from town to town
And when I find myself falling for some girl
Well I hop right into that car of mine and drive around the world
'Cos I'm a Wanderer, yeah a Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round
They call me the Wanderer, yeah the Wanderer

They call me the Wanderer, yeah the Wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round
'Cos I'm a Wanderer..


8. ROLLIN' HOME

I left my home one day
For the sake of better pay
In a forreign land 12 centuries back in time
Where the sun keeps burning down
On the hole drilled in the ground
And I dream of the girl I left behind

Well I signed the dotted line
And I thought in a few years time
I'd be home and we can start a brand new life
But everything went wrong
And I just don't know how long
They will make me stay to pay for my crime

And I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

There's a law that rules this land
That I just didn't understand
I didn't know that I was doing wrong
But they don't seem to care
and they all do it when they're over there
But here your face is justice of their god

And I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

All the money that I've saved
To pay for better days
Just can't make up for how I miss you so
There's no consolation prize
Oh, but when I close my eyes
I'm dreaming of you in our new home

And I wish I was
Rollin'home, rollin'home
Home to the place I long to be
Oh, oh, oh, rollin'home, rollin'home
There's someone waiting there for me

Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me
Rollin'home there's somone waiting for me


9. RED SKY

I was out on the highway
I was out on my feet
I was tired and hungry
I was late for the meet

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

I had the desert on both sides now
I had the lights in my eyes
Of the town I remember
Up ahead in the cold black sky

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

Well I remember that old saying
'bout how good tomorrow will be
But will I be lucky to see
With a red sky's lucky for me

In my dreams there is a picture
Of me in a big gold frame
And the poeple that I've never seen
Are pointing at my name

I had a red sky behind me
I had the bad guys on my tail
I had a hundred different reasons
To keep me falling away
I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

I had a red sky behind me
With the stars coming into view
And the thought that kept me going
Was soon I'm gonna make it with you

Red sky...
Red sky...
Red sky...


10. IN THE ARMY NOW

A vacation in a forreign land
Uncle Sam does the best he can
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Now you remember what the draftman said
Nothing to do all day but stay in bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You'll be the hero of the neighbourhood
Nobody knows that you've left for good
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Smiling faces as you wait to land
But once you get there no one gives a damn
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Hand grenades flying over your head
Missiles flying over your head
If you want to survive get out of bed
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Shots ring out in the dad of night
The sergant calls (stand up and fight)
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

You've got your orders better shoot on sight
Your finger's on the trigger
But it don't seem right
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Night is falling and you just can't see
Is this illusion or reality
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now
You're in the army now
Oh, oh, you're in the army now

Oh, oh, you're in the army now


11. DREAMIN'

I heard you cry tonight while you were sleeping tight
What were you dreamin'?
Was it another guy and did he make you cry
While you were dreamin'?
I don't find it easy to say
But I think it's right that you have to know

Why won't you understand you're being underhand
About your dreamin'?
I love you more and more, of that you can be sure
Even your dreamin'
I don't mind if you just say
You dream of us both but I have to know
You've got to understand you're being underhand
About your dreamin'

Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never long enough
Dreams, dreams, dreams, some are never good enough
I wonder do, do, do you ever get to sleep at night?
Who, who, who is it gonna be tonight?

You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
I do believe it
You know you can be sure I want you more and more
Can you believe it?
I don't find it easy to say
But I think it's right that you have to know
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
I do believe it
You are a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
Can you believe it?
You've been a naughty girl, you've got me in a whirl
About your dreamin'
About your dreamin'
About your dreamin'
About your dreamin'
About your dreamin'..


12. AIN'T COMPLAINING

There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
There's nothing left, right left right
Up down up down up down up down

All right all right
You wind me up, you bring me down
Your reputation is all over the town
So long as you come home to me
I ain't complaining
You fool around, we scream and fight
The way you're treating me, you know it ain't right
But when you're making out with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
and I'll come running to you

All right all right
You're out all night, you sleep all day
When I get home you're going out to play
Oh, woman give me some time and everything's fine
ain't complaining

You just don't care, we're in a mess
And the company you keep ain't the best
But when you're lying there with me
I ain't complaining

It ain't no use, you playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if you don't come home to me
I'll be complaining

All right
There's nothing left, there's nothing right
Our situation ain't looking too bright
'cause I have taken all I'm gonna take
Without complaining

It ain't no use playing it loose
And thinking it don't matter to me
It ain't fair at all
You only have to call my name
And I'll come running to you

But when the chips are down
A man can only take so much fooling around
And if I don't come home to you
You'll be complaining

All right all right all right all right
All right all right


13. BURNING BRIDGES

Building dreams has always been my way
Making time and living for the day
Burning bridges never made me cry
I could walk away with no goodbye
Easy take or easy leave them all
'til you scratch the writing on the wall

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry

One day someday I may slide away
Turn around and call it all a day
Even though I fooled myself for years
I can't escape this ringing in my ears

It's on and off and on again
Going on and then
Taking all I got again
Bleeding me leaving me dry
You're hanging on for what you can
Dragging out the pain
Taking all I give again
Fakin it making me cry


14. ANNIVERSARY WALTZ PART ONE (MEDLEY)

Hey baby won't you take a chance
Say that you'll let me have this dance
Oh let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist and stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dancing that you wanna do, let's dance, let's dance

Hey baby if you're all alone
Say that you'll let me walk you home
Let's dance, let's dance
We'll do the twist and stomp, the mashed potato too
Any old dancing that you wanna do, let's dance, let's dance

Red river rock

No particular place to go

Riding along in my automobile
My baby beside me at the wheel
I stole a kiss at the turn of a mile
My curiosity's running wild
Cruisin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go

Riding along with my collar loose
Still trying to get her belt a-loose
All the way home I held a grudge
But the safety belt it wouldn't budge
Cruisin' and playin' the radio
With no particular place to go

The wanderer

Well I'm the type of guy who will never settle down
Where pretty girls are well you know that I'm around
I kiss 'em and I love 'em 'cos to me their all the same
I hug 'em and I squeeze them, they don't even know my name
They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer
I roam around and round and round and round and round
They call me the wanderer, yeah the wanderer

I roam around and round and round and round and round
I hear you knocking

You went away and left me long time ago
And now you're knocking on my door
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking go back where you been

I begged you not to go but you said goodbye
Now you're tellin' all your lies
I hear you knocking but you can't come in
I hear you knocking go back where you been

Lucille

Lucille you don't do your daddy's will
Lucille you don't do your daddy's will
Ain't nothing to you but I love you still

I woke up this morning, lucille was not in sight
Asked my friends about her, all their lips were tight
Lucille you don't do your daddy's will
Ain't nothing to you but I love you still

Great balls of fire

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness gracious, great balls of fire

Kiss me baby, it feels good
Hold me baby, well I wanna love you like a lover should
You're fine, so kind
I gotta tell this world that you're mine, mine, mine, mine

I chew my nails and I twiddle my thumbs
I feel embarrassed but it sure is fun
Come on baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness gracious great balls of fire.


15. ANNIVERSARY WALTZ PART TWO (MEDLEY)

ROCK'N'ROLL MUSIC

Just let me hear some of that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old way you use it
Gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

I got no kick against modern jazz
Unless they try to play it too damn fast
And change the beauty of the melody
Until it's sounding like a symphony

That's why I go for that rock'n'roll music
Any old way you choose it
It's got a back beat you can't lose it
Any old way you use it
Gotta be rock'n'roll music
If you wanna dance with me
If you wanna dance with me

LOVER PLEASE

Lover please, please come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please, no, don't leave me
Don't leave me in a-misery

You wouldn't ever come so near
You wouldn't ever call me dear
Don't you know I'd die for you
Now you're gone that's what I'll do

Lover please, please come back
Don't take the train coming down the track
Don't please, don't, don't leave me
Don't leave me in a-misery

THAT'LL BE THE DAY

Oh that'll be the day when you say goodbye
That'll be the day when you make me cry
You say you're gonna leave, you know it's a lie
'Cos that'll be the day when I die

You give me all your lovin' and your turtle dovin'
Your hugs and kisses and your money too
You know you love me baby, but still you tell me maybe
That some day well I'll be blue

Oh that'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day, woo-hoo
That'll be the day,
'Cos that'll be the day when I die

SINGING THE BLUES

I never felt more like singing the blues
'Cos I never thought that I'd ever lose your love dear
You got me singing the blues

The moon and stars no longer shine
The dream is gone I thought was mine
There's nothing left for me to do
But cry over you

Oh I never felt more like running away
But why should I go 'cos I couldn't stay without you
You got me singing the blues

WHEN WILL I BE LOVED

I've been made blue, I've been lied to
When will I be loved?
I've been turned down, I've been pushed round
When will I be loved?

LET'S WORK TOGETHER

Come on now people lets get on the ball

LONG TALL SALLY

We're gonna have some fun tonight
We're gonna have some fun tonight
Everything's all right

16. I DIDN'T MEAN IT

When you say those words, those three little words
You're in at the deep end
Give up the night times, give up the high times
Give up the weekend
Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll come crawling back, saying

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That I put that lie down
The prize now for you is me

Well I was like you and all I could do was
Give up and surrender
The people can trace what they did in my face
But they're just pretenders
They told me mercenary action today
Is a line as simple and pure
But what if you found you made a mistake
The medicine's worse than the cure
And you'll be back for sure, saying

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That I put that lie down
The prize now for you is me

Give up the chance to be your own man
Let the feeling take over
The only way out is to lie if you can
But you don't have the knack
And you'll come crawling back, saying

I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said when I said I didn't mean it
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to say what I said it was only a game
I didn't mean it, I didn't mean it
I didn't mean to tell you in so many words, I didn't mean it
I felt tied down, my pride down
That I put that lie down
The prize now for you is me


17. WHEN YOU WALK IN THE ROOM

I can feel a new expression on my face
I can feel a glowing sensation taking place
I can hear the guitars playing lovely tunes
Every time that you walk in the room

I close my eyes for a second and pretend it's me you want
Meanwhile I try to act so nonchalant
I feel the summer's night with a magic moon
Every time that you walk in the room

Baby it's a dream come true
Standing right alongside of you
Wish I could how you how much I care
But I only have the nerve to stare

I can feel there's something pounding in my brain
Just anytime that someone speaks your name
Trumpets sound and I hear thunder boom
Every time that you
Every time that you
Every time that you walk in the room

Walk in the room
Walk in the room
Walk in the room


18. FUN FUN FUN

Well she got her Daddy's car and she cruised to the Hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library like she told her old Man now
And with the radio blasting goes cruising just as fast as She can now
And she'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird Away

Well the girls can't stand her 'cos she walks, looks and Drives like an ace now
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
A lot of guys try to catch her but she leads them on a wild Goose chase now
And she'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird Away

Well she's making a turn and it looks like she's coming Around now
And I'm a little concerned 'cos the town is closing on down Now
Well I jump in the 'bird for some good-time getting around Now
And we'll have fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird Away
Fun fun fun 'til her Daddy takes the T-bird away

But you can come along with me 'cos we got a lot of things To do now
And you'll have fun fun fun now that Daddy took the T-bird Away
Fun fun fun now that Daddy took the T-bird away


19. DON'T STOP

If you wake up and don’t wanna smile
If it takes just a little while
Open your eyes, look at the day
You’ll see things in a different way

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

Why not think about the times to come
And not about the things that you’ve done
If your life was bad to you
Just think what tomorrow will do

Don’t stop thinking about tomorrow
Don’t stop, it’ll soon be here
It’ll be here better than before
Yesterday’s gone, yesterday’s gone

All I want is to see you smile

Oooh, don’t you look back


20. ALL AROUND MY HAT

All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away

Fare the well cold winter
And fare the well cold frost
But nothing have I gain
But my own true love I've lost
I'll sing and I'll be merry
When occasion I do see
She's a false deluded young girl
Let here go farewell she

And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away

The other night she brought me
A fine diamond ring but,
She tought to have deprive me
Of a far better thing
But I being careful
As lovers ought to be
She's a false deluded young girl
Let her go farewell she

And all around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away

All around my hat
I will wear the green willow
And all around my hat
For a twelwe month and a day
And if anyone should ask me
The reason why I'm wearing it
It's all for my true love
Who's far far away
