1 NADINE

As I get on a city bus and found a vacant seat
I thought I saw my future bride walking up the street
I shouted to the driver "Hey conductor, you must slow down,
I think I see her, please let me off the bus!"

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new

I saw her from the corner as she turned and doubled back
And started walking towards her coffee coloured Cadillac
I'm pushing through the crowd trying to get to where she's at
And I was campaign shouting like a Southern diplomat (???)

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new

Well I was downtown searching for her looking all around
I saw her getting in a yellow cab heading uptown
I caught a loaded taxi paid off everybody’s tab
I've slipped a twenty dollar bill and said "Catch that yellow cab!"

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you got something else to do
Oh Nadine

- Guitar Solo –

Well, she moves around like a wayward summer breeze
"Go driver go go, catch her for me please!"
I'm moving through the traffic like a mounted cavalier
Leaning out the taxi window, tryin' to make her hear

Nadine, oh honey is that you?
Oh Nadine, baby is that you?
Seems like every time I see you darling, you work on something new

Oh Nadine
Oh Nadine
Oh Nadine

Oh go driver
Go go
Go driver go
Go driver go
Go go, go go, go go, go go
Nadine...


2. ROXETTE

I saw you out the other night
I saw somebody hold you tight
Roxette, I wonder who it could be
It was so dark I couldn't see
But I know it wasn't me
When I tell you it ain't right
I know you've got to agree

I followed you into a show
The band was playing rock'n'roll
Roxette, I didn't need to seek you out
The music played so loud
That I could hear you through the crowd
You was telling everyone
About a new guy you'd found

Roxette I gotta go away
And leave you for a couple of days
Roxette, I don't want no more of your tricks
I'm gonna get some concrete mix
And fill your back door up with bricks
And you better be there waiting
When I get my business fixed


3. DON’T START ME TALKING

I'm going down the road, stop at Fannie Mae's
Gonna tell Fannie what I've heard her boyfriend say
Don't start me that talkin'

I'll tell everything I know
Gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go
Jack gave his wife two dollars, go down town, get smartened
Gets out on the street, old George stopped her
He knocked her down and blackened her eye
Get back home and tell her husband a lie
Don't start me that talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
'Cos somebody's got to go, oh

– Guitar Solo –

She borrowed some money, go to the beauty shop
He honked(?) his horn, she began to stop
Said: "Take me baby, around the block
I'm going to the beauty shop where I can get my hair smart"
Don't start me talkin'
I'll tell everything I know
I'm gonna break up this signifying
Everybody's got to go

– Guitar Solo to fade –


4. GOING BACK HOME

I wanna live the way I like
Sleep all the morning
Goin' get my fun at night
Things ain't like that here
Workin' just to keep my payments clear
I bought a brand new motor

And I'm waitin' for a loan
So I can fill her up and start her
Then I'm going back home
I got a girl a man's best friend
I'd have her now if she'd just come back again
But she left me in the fog
Told me that I treat her like a dog
The last time that I saw her she was buryin' a bone
I'm tired of whistlin' for her

Then I'm going back home

Old Johnny Green he asked me in
We watched his TV and we drank a little gin
Then I float on down the street
Smilin' at the faces that I meet
That was back this morning
Now I'm dizzy sick and stoned
When the world stops turning

Then I'm going back home


5. DOWN BY THE JETTY BLUES

I'm going down by the jetty
Tonight the tide is high
It's tankers in the channel laying
Flames up in the sky

I'm going down by the jetty
(Be)fore I leave this world behind
'Cause that oil slick on the water
Is band to ease my worried mind

My face is slowly burning
My eyes are turning red
In the shadow of the refinery, baby
Tonight I'll make my bed

I'm going down by the jetty
Before I leave this world behind
(Fore I leave this world behind)
'Cause that oil slick on the water
Is band to ease my worried mind

- Harmonica and Guitar Solo –

The air is filled with poison
The sea is thick with grease
Somewhere in this hell on earth
I'll surely get some peace

With one foot on the water
And one foot on the pier
I'm ready for the next world
To get me outta here

I'm going down by the jetty
(Be)fore I leave this world behind
'Cause that oil slick on the water
Is bound to ease my worried mind

Bye bye, cruel world...


6. BACK IN THE NIGHT

Back in the night I lay down by your fireside
Back in the night you shook me like a landslide
I nearly missed the early shift
Dreamin´ in the morning ´bout the things we did

Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light

I woke up on the floor, I asked you for some breakfast
You shoved me out the door, I jumped on to the late bus
I got to smile, I like your style
You put me out this morning but you know that I´ll be

Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light

The days go by so slow, I feel just like I´m dying
Stop work whistle blow and then I start reviving
Across your yard, beneath the stars
I made it thru another day and here we are

Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Back in the night
Beneath your love light

8. DOWN AT THE DOCTORS

Leave a late show
Still feel alive
Want a place to go
Round about five

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night

Everybody needs a shot of R'n'B
So come on down to my surgery

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night

Eight bars on piano

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night

Come here baby
Ain't gonna do you no harm
I just want to shoot
Some rock'n'roll in your arm

Down to the doctors
Down to the doctors
Come on down to the doctors
Make you feel good all night


9. GIMME ONE MORE SHOT

Give me one more shot bartender, just before I go
Well, give me one more shot bartender, just before I go
I have had my fun and I don't feel well no more

Well, give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
I give me one more shot
Well, give me one more shot and I'll knock my own self out

Well, if I'm going down let me go down playing my part
If I'm going down let me go down playing my part
If I have me one more shot I will knock my own self out

Hey bartender, where have you been?
I need a shot of whiskey and I need a shot of gin

Just give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Well, give me one more shot and I'll knock my own self out

- Guitar Break -

Hey bartender, where have you been?
I need a shot of whiskey and I need a shot of gin

Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot, and I will knock my own self out

Hey, give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot
Give me one more shot, and I'll knock my own self out


10. MAD MAN BLUES

I go home at night about half past four
All that knocking on my door

I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know

I love these women, gonna treat them right
Ain't gonna fuss and ain't gonna fight

I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know

I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know

- Guitar and Harp soli –

You beg me now baby and not before
I'm gonna come round and kick your door

I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know

I don't wanna fuss, I don't wanna fight
Ain't gonna do nothing but treat you right
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
I got the mad man blues
Man don't you know, don't you know

I got the mad man blues

11. BONIE MARONIE/TEQUILA

I got a girl named Bonie Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
When she rock and rolls with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bones
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy now we can be

Making love underneath the apple tree
Well, I told her mama and papa too
Just exactly what I wanna do
I wanna get married on a night in June
Rock and roll by the light of a Silvery Moon
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy (now) we can be
Making love underneath the apple tree

– Guitar Solo –

I got a girl named Bonie Moronie
She's as skinny as a stick of macaroni
When she rock and rolls with her blue jeans on
She's not very fat, just skin and bones
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy we can be
I love her, she loves me
Oh, how happy we can be

Making love underneath the apple tree
