1. WALKING IN THE SHADOW OF THE BLUES

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it you can never understand.
So many times I thought about it
And now I know just what it means to be a man.

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.

All of my life I've had a strange reputation,
I've been the black sheep of the family all along.
I never know if in my heart I'm really guilty
But, I've been accused of never knowing right from wrong.

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.

My father said you're crazy,
He said what you gonna do.
I left with my guitar and said
I'll leave it up to you.

I'm gonna live the life I love
And live the life I choose,
And I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.

I love the blues,
They tell my story,
If you don't feel it I will tell you once again.
All of my life I've been caught up in a crossfire,
'Cos I've been branded with the devil mark of cain.

Everyday I realize you can see it in my eyes
I never wait, or hesitate.
'Cos I love the life I live,
I'm gonna live the life I choose,
You gotta understand
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues,
I'm walking in the shadow of the blues.


2. TROUBLE

I was raised a gambler's son
And before I could walk,
I had to learn how to run.
And I never, never ever
Played a loaded dice.
But, I rolled a lot of women
With a heart as cold as ice.

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Always coming my way,
Trouble always coming my way.

Baby I'm lonely, I'm out of control,
I need someone to understand
The badness in my soul.
Though I never, I never
Stole another man's wife
But, I fooled around plenty enough
And I got what I paid for.

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.

Trouble.

On the run again
Looking for a place to hide,
Everywhere I look there is trouble,
Trouble always coming my way.

Trouble always coming my way, trouble always coming


3. LIE DOWN ( A MODERN LOVE SONG )

You got the smile of a Monalisa,
Know it all an' giving nothing away.
You make the sins of a vestal virgin,
Look nothing more that a roll in the hay.

So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

You give an air of the Dolce Vita,
Society's made a queen out of you.
Casanova couldn't take all your virtue,
But, rock 'n' roll is gonna steal it from you.

So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

Come on, girl, it'll be alright,
Easy does it nice and slow.
Woah, you know, mama, that tonight's the night,
Come on and let your feelings show.

Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.

So lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.

Take a look in the mirror,
Tell me what you see.
If it ain't sweet surrender
You can blame it on somebody, not the devil in me.

Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care.
Lie down, I think I love you,
Lie down, I think I care...


4. SWEET TALKER

I can tell by way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk, yes you do.

You got long legs, a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away, yes it does.

You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun.
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run.

I know you know
You got what it takes,
You got the fever,
But, you give me the shakes, yes you do.

Straight out of Lolita
With nothing to lose,
When I got your number
My juke box blew a fuse, yes it did.

You're just sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun.
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run, you better run,
So you better run, you better run.
Or you better hide.

Sweet talker, bad daughter,
You've just begun.
The bitch is in heat
So you better run, you better run,
You better run, you better run,
Or you better hide.

I can tell by way you walk,
You give it all away
By the sweet way that you talk, yes you do.

You got long legs, a black girl sway,
The way you shake your booty
Gives your schoolgirl game away, yes it does.

You're just a sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun.
Sweet talker, bad daughter,
An' you've just begun.
The bitch is in heat,
So you better run.


5. LOVE HUNTER

I need a woman to treat me good
And give me everything a good woman should.
Everyday and every night
She'd be waiting on her brown-eyed boy
To come and treat her right.

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you.
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you.

In my time I've been a back door man,
I've taken everything I could
But, I've given all I can.
I don't want no woman
To weep or moan,
I'm looking for a sweet heartbreaker
And I'm never gonna leave her alone.

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you.

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you,
I'm a love hunter baby
What you gonna do?
I'm gonna give you all my loving
And use my tail on you.

'Cos I'm a love hunter baby,
I'm a love hunter baby...

I'm a love hunter baby
Sneaking up on you.
I'm sneaking up on you


6. DON'T BREAK MY HEART AGAIN

I'm gonna take it to the limit of my love,
Before I turn and walk away.
I've had enough of holding on
The promises of yesterday.
Every day of my life, it seems,
Trouble's knocking at my door,
It's hard to try and satisfy
When you don't know what you're fighting for.

Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long.
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last.

Don't break my heart again, like you did before.
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore.

I never hide the feeling inside,
And though I'm standing my back to the wall,
I know that even in a summer love
A little bit of rain must fall.
But, every road I take I know
Where it's gonna lead me to,
Because I've travelled every highway
And they all keep coming back to you.

Time and again I sing your song,
But, I've been runnin' on empty far too long.
I've had enough holdin' on to the past,
Make no mistake, it could be your last.

Don't break my heart again, like you did before.
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore.
Don't break my heart.

Don't break my heart again, like you did before.
Don't break my heart again, I couldn't take anymore


7. AIN'T NO LOVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.
Baby, since you been around.

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity, child
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
To the county line, that's why

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
Ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

Every place that I go,
Well, it seems so strange.
Without you love, baby, baby,
Things have changed.
Now that you're gone
Y'know the sun don't shine,
From the city hall
Woman, to the county line, that's why

Ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
There ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,
Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around.

There ain't no love in the heart of the city,
There ain't no love in the heart of town.
Ain't no love, sure 'nuff is a pity,

Ain't no love 'cos you ain't around,
'Cos you ain't around.


8. FOOL FOR YOUR LOVING

I was born under a bad sign,
Left out in the cold
I'm a lonely man who knows
Just what it means to lose control
But I took all the heartache
and turned it to shame
Now I'm movin', movin' on
And I ain't taking the blame

(chorus)
Don't come running to me,
I know I've done all I can
A hard loving woman like you
just makes a hard loving man
So I can say it to you, babe:
I'll be a fool for your loving no more
A fool for your loving no more
I'm so tired of trying,
I always end up crying
A fool for your loving no more,
I'll be a fool for your loving no more

I'm tired of hiding my feelings,
You left me lonely too long
I gave my heart and you tore it apart
Oh, baby you done me wrong

(chorus)


9. TAKE ME WITH YOU

Every time I see my baby home,
I wanna kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me
And I will discover you'll be my midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.

Sometimes when I'm feeling low,
I go looking for a lover where the bad girls go.
Sorry little girl, If you can't stay,
Your red light mama gonna show the way.

And then a certain madness,
Will 'crease my heart with sadness
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.

I know love and what it means,
It's a skinny little girl in tight ass jeans.
I love to hear'em moan and cry,
'Cos God made men to satisfy.
And with the fire returning,
I feel the fever burning
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.

Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Oh, take me with you.

Every time I see my baby home,
I wanna kiss a little better so I get stoned.
Gonna spread her pretty legs so I can see,
Sweet lip honey be the death of me.
And I will discover you'll be my midnight lover,
Oh babe, bring it on home to me.

Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs,
Take me with you I will give you anything a woman needs.
Take me with you.


10. WE WISH YOU WELL

I'm sad to say it's time to go
But, until we meet again along the road.
Remember this on your journey home,
When you hear the thunder roar you're not alone.

We wish you well, we wish you well,
In times of trouble may your hearts be strong.
We wish you well, we wish you well,
Until we meet again,
We wish you well...


11. HERE I GO AGAIN

I don't know where I'm going
But I sure know where I've been
Hanging on the promises
In songs of yesterday
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
But here I go again
Here I go again

Tho' I keep searching for an answer I never seem to find what I'm looking for,
Oh Lord, I pray
You give me strength to carry on
Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

I'm just another heart in need of rescue
Waiting on love's sweet charity
An' I'm gonna hold on
For the rest of my days
Cause I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
An' here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again
Here I go again

An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone

Cos I know what it means
To walk along the lonely street of dreams

An' here I go again on my own
Goin' down the only road I've ever known
Like a drifter I was born to walk alone
An' I've made up my mind
I ain't wasting no more time
Here I go again


12. CRYING IN THE RAIN

A black cat moans
When he's burning with the fever
A stray dog howls
When he's lonely in the night
A woman goes crazy

With the though of retribution
But, a man starts weeping
When he's sick and tired of life

I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrow
Feel I'm wasting my time
Lighting candles in the wind
Always taking my chances
On the promise of the future
But, a heart full of sorrow
Paints a lonely tapestry

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain
Crying in the rain

I can never deny
All the sweet things I have tasted
Tho' I've been mistreated
I keep coming back for more
I know where I'm going
There's no hope of absolution
I can't seem to separate
The good times from the bad

The sun is shining
But, it's raining in my heart

No one understands the heartache
No one feels the pain
Cos no one ever sees the tears
When you're crying in the rain
When you're crying in the rain


13. VICTIM OF LOVE

I'm down on love
An' I don't give a damn,
I take my chances
Whenever I can.
Like a lamb to the slaughter,
Another sacrifice,
For giving love to woman
With a heart stone cold as ice.

I'm down on love
An' I'm clean out of pain,
I ain't no stranger
To the crying game.
Too scared to suffer,
An' too blind to see,
But, I played with fire
An' I got what was coming to me.

Now, one more heartache
Don't bother me,
Just one more lonely night
To drown in misery.

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.
Victim of love, victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.

I'm down on love
An' I feel like a fool
To beg for mercy
'Cos I broke the rules.
So do me no favours
With your cool advice,
I know the losing cost,
An' I'll pay the price.

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery.

I am a victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love.

One more heartache
Don't bother me
One more lonely night
To drown in misery.

Victim of love,
A victim of love,
Lord, I never thought
I'd be a victim of love...


14. SAINTS AN' SINNERS

Get ready for Judgement day
An' the final curtain call,
Don't lie when you testify
'Cos the Good Lord know you're all.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

When Moses stood on the Red Sea shore
Laying the Law on the line,
He said don't come knocking
On the Pearly Gates
If all you did was have a real good time.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

For what we are about to receive
May the Lord make us truly thankful.

Saints an' sinners.

I stand guilty of a thousand crimes,
An' I suffer temptation still,
Show me a man who won't give it to his woman
An' I'll show you somebody who will.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

For what we are about to receive
May the Lord make us truly thankful.

Saints an' sinners,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,

Get ready for Judgement day
An' the final curtain call,
Don't lie when you testify
'Cos the Good Lord know you're all.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves,
Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

For what we are about to receive
May the Lord make us truly thankful.

Saints an' sinners, priests an' thieves.

Saints an' sinners...


15. ROCK N' ROLL ANGELS

I'm gonna tell you
What is all about,
Why I scream an' I shout for you.
I've been an' travelled
All around the world,
Teasin' lottsa pretty girls like you.

Oh, I feel my heart beating heavy,
Banging like a big bass drum.
An' all you blue jeans queens
Know exactly where I'm coming from,
I'm looking for some.

Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,
Rock an' roll angels.
Rock an' roll, rock an' roll,

I can't hide what I feel inside
Tho' I've tried an' I've tried
I can't fake it.
I get in trouble everywhere I go,
'Cos I can't say no,
I gotta shake it.

Oh, I feel my heart beating heavy,
Banging like a big bass drum.
An' all you blue jeans queens
Know exactly where I'm coming from,
