Lyrics
1. FEEL
Girlfriend, what what are you doing?
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me the feeling
I feel like i'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
I feel like i'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
Wondering what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me the feeling
I feel like i'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
I feel like i'm dying
I feel like i'm dying
2. THE BALLAD OF EL GOODO
Years ago, my heart was set to live, oh
But i've been trying hard against unbelievable odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
My guns they're waiting to be stuck by
At my side is god
And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
There's people around who tell you that they know
The places where they send you, and it's easy to go
They'll zip you up and dress you down
Stand you in a row
But you know you don't have to
You can just say no
And there ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
I've been built up and trusted
Broke down and busted
But they'll get theirs and we'll get ours
Just if we can
Just, ah, hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Years ago my heart was set to live, oh
But i've been trying hard against strong odds
It gets so hard at times like now to hold on
Well, i'll fall if i don't fight
And at my side is god
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Ain't no one gonna turn me 'round
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on
(Alternate lines of last verse)
Years ago i was all set to go
And i've been trying hard against long odds
It gets so hard at times like this to even hang around
I can either stand or fall
And i believe i'm gonna stand tall
3. IN THE STREET
Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you
Steal your car, and bring it down
Pick me up, we'll drive around
Wish we had
A joint so bad
Pass the street light
Out past midnight
Ahh......
Hanging out, down the street
The same old thing we did last week
Not a thing to do
But talk to you
4. THIRTEEN
Won't you let me walk you home from school
Won't you let me meet you at the pool
Maybe friday i can
Get tickets for the dance
And i'll take you
Won't you tell your dad, 'get off my back'
Tell him what we said about 'paint it, black'
Rock 'n roll is here to stay
Come inside where it's okay
And i'll shake you.
Won't you tell me what you're thinking of.
Would you be an outlaw for my love
If it's so, well, let me know
If it's 'no,' well, i can go.
I won't make you.
5. DONT' LIE TO ME
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
Don't lie to me
I know where you been
And i know what you been doing
Don't lie to me
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
Don't push me 'round
I don't like that
Now, i'm telling you
Don't push me 'round
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
Don't cross me babe
I don't think you would?
Don't do it?
Don't cross me babe
-Faint talking in backgound-
Voice 1 - '...the last'
Voice 2 - 'let's take it just from the break'
Voice 3 - 'fuck you'
6. THE INDIA SONG
I'd like to go to india
Live in a big white house in the forest
Drink gin and tonic and play a grand piano
Read a few books
Far from what saddens my heart
Try to live away from it
Find a new girl
Who says she feels the same
Get to know her after the trip
Bathe in a forest pool
Her life a part of mine
And let no one know until i'm gone
7. WHEN MY BABY'S BESIDE ME
Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked doors
I don't need to think
'Cause when my baby's beside me, i don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all i know
When my baby's beside me, i don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all i know
Read all my books and talked about
Listen to my radio
Been to school and dropped right out
Tryin' to find out what i didn't know
But when my baby's beside me, i don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all i know
When my baby's beside me, i don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all i know
Don't need to talk to my doctor
Don't need to talk to my shrink
Don't need to hide behind no locked doors
I don't need to think
'Cause when my baby's beside me, i don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all i know
When my baby's beside me, i don't worry
When my baby's beside me, all i know
8. MY LIFE IS RIGHT
Once i walked a lonely road
Had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now i hope you're here to stay
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
Lonely age of uncertainty
They disappear when you're near me
When you're around my life's worthwhile
And now i long to see you smile
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
My life is right
My life is right
My life is right
Once i walked a lonely road
Had no one to share my love
But then you came and showed the way
And now i hope you're here to stay
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
You give me light
You are my day
You give me life
And that's right
So right
So right, so right
My life is right
9. GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE
You feel sad 'cause i got mad
And i'm sorry, i'm sorry
Things i said made things seem bad
But don't worry
Cause it's gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know i just don't think before i speak
I've been looking for to find
Something to believe in my mind
And i thought it was you
All this time since you've been mine
I've been angry, so angry
Made it known i could make it alone
But i'm changing
And i'm gonna be alright now
Be okay
You know i just woke up and i see the way
Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's me that's wrong at last
Give me another chance
It's so hard just to stay alive each day
I really can't go on this way, oh no
Oh no
Hey......
Don't give up on me so fast
I see it's the end, it's wrong at last
Give me another chance
10. TRY AGAIN
Lord i've been trying to be what i should
Lord i've been trying to do what i could
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But i'll try again
Lord i've been trying to be understood
And lord i've been trying to do as you would
But each time it gets a little harder
I feel the pain
But i'll try again
11. WATCH THE SUNRISE
I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise
Sun, it shines on all of us
We are one in it's hand
Come inside and light my room
Like the heart of every man
It's okay to look outside
The day it will abide
And watch the sunrise
I can feel it, now it's time
Open your eyes
Fears be gone, it won't be long
There's a light in the sky
It's okay to look outside
Your love it will abide
And watch the sunrise
12. ST 100/6
Love me again
Be my friend
I need you now
I'll show you somehow
Girlfriend, what what are you doing?
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me the feeling
I feel like i'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
I feel like i'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
Wondering what are you doing
You're driving me to ruin
The love that you've been stealing
Has given me the feeling
I feel like i'm dying
I'm never gonna live again
You just ain't been trying
It's getting very near the end
I feel like i'm dying
I feel like i'm dying
