1. YOU STARTED LAUGHING

When you're in heaven
What you gonna do?
You're gonna sit around a cloud and say
"Heay what a lovely view"

Is there a reason
Why you're like you are?
Is there a reason you'll be leaving?
Is my love out of season?
I wouldn't mind but to me that is Treason

You started laughing
When I held you in my arms
You started leaving
When I told you of my charms
I was in love with you
And then you said we're through
And then I asid boo hoo

Was my tie not on straight?
Was it something I ate?


2. IT'S ALRIGHT

I want you in my arms tonight
You know you whet my appetite
It might be wrong for us to care
And maybe something's in the air
But if the world is unaware

(Chorus)
It's alright, please say it's alright
You'll be mine tonight, it's going to be alright

I won't care if we fall in love
I'll be happy with the memory of
The thought of just one night of bliss
We can't give up a chance like this
So just go on and whisper it's

(Chorus)

I want you in my arms tonight
You know you set my heart alight
It can't be like this everyday
And soon you'll be so far away
So now I want to hear you say

(Chorus)

Don't want to make a main feature with you
Ah but you know there's a time and a place
You can't resist it when you're feeling it too
I can tell by the smile on your face
We both know that it will be OK
So don't you let this moment slip away
Don't have a problem when it's all in the mind
Yes but we can make it very very real this time


3. NOT THE MOMENT

I can't believe what you're saying about me
I can't believe it's true
You know you never should doubt me
And take this attitude

You say there's something between us
Something just ain't right
But every time I ask you to tell me why
You say it's not the moment
You say it's not the moment

You say you're tired of walking on eggshells
And falling in between
That I'm two-timing you but you know quite well
That's just not my scene

And now my friends are starting to call me
They say there's something wrong
Ah, but you just continue to stall me
You say it's not the moment
You say...

Yes we need to talk this through
'Cause I do depend on you
So let it out and try to clear the air

I've got nothing I should hide
I'm burning up inside
But you just act like you don't even care

Oh well I know sometimes it ain't easy
I know you're feeling bad
But you know it's the wrong time to tease me
It just gets me mad

I'm going to find out sooner or later
Just what you're trying to say
So when I ask you now for just one more time
Don't say it's not the moment
Don't say...

Yes we need to talk this through
'Cause I do depend on you
So let it out and try to clear the air

Told you I would be your friend
Be there to the very end
But you had to let me down
And go spreading dirty words around


4. BLOODY WELL RIGHT

So you think your schooling's phony
I guess it's hard not to agree
You say it all depends on money
And who is in your family tree

Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say

Ha-ha you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Yeah-yeah you're bloody well right
You know you're right to say
Me, I don't care anyway!

Write your problems down in detail
Take them to a higher place
You've had your cry, no, I should say wail
In the meantime hush your face
Right, quite right, you're bloody well right

Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say
Right, you're bloody well right
You know you got a right to say


5. BREAKFAST IN AMERICA

Take a look at my girlfriend
She's the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do

Could we have kippers for breakfast
Mummy dear, Mummy dear
They got to have ´em in Texas
'Cause everyone¨s a millionaire

I´m a winner, I´m a sinner
Do you want my autograph
I´m a loser what a joker
I´m playing my jokes upon you
While there´s nothing better to do

Don´t you look at my girlfriend
She´s the only one I got
Not much of a girlfriend
Never seem to get a lot

Take a jumbo cross the water
Like to see America
See the girls in California
I´m hoping it´s going to come true
But there´s not a lot I can do


6. FROM NOW ON

Monday has come around again
I'm in the same old place
With the same old faces always watching me
Who knows how long I'll have to stay
Could be a hundred years
Of sweat and tears
At the rate that I get paid

Sometimes I slowly drift away
From all the dull routine
That's with me every day
A fantasy will come to me
Diamonds are what I really need
Think I'll rob a store, escape the law
And live in Italy

Lately my luck has been so bad
You know the roulette wheel's
A crooked deal
I'm losing all I had

Soon be like a man that's on the run
And live from day to day
Never needing anyone
Play hide and seek
Throughout the week

My life is full of romance

Guess I'll always have to be
Living in a fantasy
That's the way it's got to be
From now on
You think I'm crazy I can see
It's you for you, and me for me
Living in a fantasy
From now on


7. FREE AS A BIRD

When a spirit is broken
Why go on
When there's nothing to say
And a love just a token
It was strong
Now it's fading away

Ah but I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night

And our love it was over
Long ago
But we just didn't say
And the years they have fallen
One by one
How they drifted away

But now I'm free as a bird
As I walk out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm feeling OK
As I face the brand new day
As I face the brand new day

You know I'm free as a bird
As I walk right out that door
You have my word
I won't bother you no more
Yes I'm doing alright
As I face the lonely night
As I face the lonely night

No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more sorrows will I find
I've got tomorrow on my side
No more teardrops will I cry
Left my teardrops way behind
No more heartaches bother me
Don't wear my heartaches on my sleeve

It's gonna be a brand new story
What's the use of former glory
It's better not to do if you can't do right
It's time to get to celebrating
After all the years of waiting
I'm gonna have a ball if it takes all night


8. OH DARLING

Oh darling, will you ever change your mind
I've been feeling left behind
Like a shadow in your light
Like a shadow in your light, in your light

Ah honey won't you say that I'm the one
And if you think you're gonna run
Well you know

I'm gonna be around you, all about you
Always by your side
I'm gonna dream about you, scheme about you
Love you all the time
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady yeah

The news is all over town
You better not let me down
Keep telling me you're feeling good
As good as you ever could
Please tell me that you'll never go, ah ah no no
Tell me that you'll never go, never go

Ah lately, I'm like a watch that's overwound
And I've got both feet off the ground
Because you see

I'm gonna be so busy, oh my pretty
Love you night and day
And through the rain and shine
I'll make you mine
I'll love you come what may
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh
I'm gonna catch you lady, catch you lady
Catch you lady uh huh

I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna (I'm gonna)
I'm gonna (I'm gonna) I'm gonna catch you lady

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm
Ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah, ah ah ah.........


9. JUST ANOTHER NERVOUS WRECK

I'm feeling so alone now
They cut the telephone uh huh
Yeah my life is just a mess

I threw it all away now
I could have made a fortune
I lost the craving for success

And as the acrobats they tumble
So the corn begins to crumble
While in the mirror
She admires a brand new dress

Live on the second floor now
They're trying to bust the door down
Soon Ill have a new address

So much for liberation
They'll have a celebration
Yeah I've been under too much stress

And as the cloud begin to rumble
So the juggler makes his fumble
And the sun upon my wall is getting less

Don't, give a damn
Fight, while you can
Kill, shoot em up
They'll run amuck
Shout, judas
Loud, they'll hear us
Soldier, sailor
They'll run for cover when they discover
Everyones a nervous wreck now

I used to think she was so nimble
Would have bought her as symbol
But now I can't afford the pen to sign her checks

Don't, give a damn
Fight, while you can
Kill, shoot em up
They'll run amuck
Shout, judas
Loud, they'll hear us
Soldier, sailor
They'll run for cover when they discover
Everyones a nervous wreck now

Lifes just a bummer they got your number
Well give as good as we get now
Rise from the gutter, stick with each other
Well drive em over the edge now
They're gonna bleed, that's what they need
Well get together and blow their cover
Were ready
Yeah we're ready
Yeah we're ready


10. THE LOGICAL SONG

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful,
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical.
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily,
Joyfully, playfully watching me.
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible,
Logical, responsible, practical.
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable,
Clinical, intellectual, cynical.

There are times when all the world's asleep,
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.

Now watch what you say or they'll be calling you a radical,
Liberal, fanatical, criminal.
Won't you sign up your name, we'd like to feel you're
Acceptable, respectable, presentable, a vegetable!

At night, when all the world's asleep,
The questions run so deep
For such a simple man.
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
But please tell me who I am.


11. I'M YOUR HOOCHIE COOCHE MAN

The gypsy woman told my mother,
While fore I was born,
I gotta boy child comin,
He's gonna be a son of a gun,
He gonna make pretty womens,
All will jump and shout,
Then the world wanna know,
What's it all about.

I'm a heroe, everybody knows I'm him,
I'm your hoochie coochie man,
Everybody knows I'm him.

I got a black cat bone, I got a mojo too,
I got the John de Conqueroo,
I'm gonna mess with you,
I'm gonna make you women,
Lead me by my hand,
Then the world will know,
I'm your hoochie coochie man.

I'm a heroe, everybody knows I'm him,
Well you know the hoochie coochie man,
Everybody knows I'm him.

On the seventh hour,
On the seventh month,
On the seventh day,
The seven doctors say,
I was born for good luck,
And that you'll see,
I got seven hundred dollars,
And don't you mess with me.
I'm a heroe, everybody knows I'm him,
Well you know the hoochie coochie man,
Everybody knows I'm him.


12. DON'T YOU LIE TO ME

Let's talk it over
Baby from the start
I heard 'bout the way you always do your part
Don't you lie to me (4x)

It makes me mad I'm a sugar as a man could be
I could love baby until the cows come home
But I'm so sick and tired of you doing me wrong

Don't you lie to me (4x)
It makes me mad as evil as man can be


13. CRIME OF THE CENTURY

Now they're planning the crime of the century
Well what will it be?
Read all about their schemes and adventuring
It's well worth a fee
So roll up and see
And they rape the universe
How they've gone from bad to worse
Who are these men of lust, greed, and glory?
Rip off the masks and let see.
But that's no right - oh no, what's the story?
There's you and there's me
That can't be right.
