1. RUN FOR HOME

I've travelled the land with a guitar in my hand
And an eye ever open for some fun
I've made some mistakes, had my share of the breaks
Seen the boys on the make and on the bum.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've seen all the frowns on the faces of the clowns
And the downs that they take just to be free
I've seen all the girls in their pretty frocks and curls
But they don't mean a lot to me.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've been to the places in town where the faces
Hang 'round just to stare at each other
I've looned with them, scream at the moon
Behaved like a buffoon but I soon discovered.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.

I've travelled the land, made mistakes out of hand
Seen the faces in the places misunderstand
Yes, I've travelled the world, seen the pretty boys and girls
Heard the noise that destroys and commands.

Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home
Run for home, run as fast as I can
Oh, running man, running for home.


2. MARSHALL RILEY'S ARMY

In October '36 they took a trip, the men who made the ships
Searching for some kind of salvation
With head held high and dignified, the townsfolk and the passers-by
Held them in some kind of admiration.

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

Soldiers in the front line of the struggle for the right to work
Did God give me these hands just to be idle ?
While his holiness the Bishop with his infinite Christian wisdom
Like Peter when the cock crew had denied them.

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

And the yes men and the press men to London town all came down
And brought with them the curious and deranged
And forty years has since gone past but you're still down there if you're working class
Can anybody tell me what has changed ?

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?

March on, Marshall Riley's army
Marching for your rights, you've surely earned them
March on, Marshall Riley's army
The lessons that you taught us, who has learned them ?


3. JUKE BOX GYPSY

Juke box gypsy jangle
Shake your silver bangle
Dancin' all night ‘cause it feels alright
Hold your dress up high.

Sweet baby, send me
Be-bop baby, bend me
You look so good, make me wish you would
Hold your dress up high.

I'm so sure that you got the cure
For anybody feelin' insecure
One injection and it feels alright
One more poke and you can do it all night.

Juke box gypsy, shake me
Juke box gypsy, break me
If I get out of hand, just pass me a gland
And hold your dress up high.

I'm so sure that you got the cure
For anybody feelin' insecure
One injection and it feels alright
One more poke and you can do it all night.

Juke box gypsy jangle
Shove your silver bangle
Dancin' all night ‘cause it feels alright
Hold your dress up high
Hold your dress up high
Hold your dress up high
Hold your dress up high.


4. WINTER SONG

When winter's shadowy fingers
First pursue you down the street
And your boots no longer lie
About the cold around your feet
Do you spare a thought for summer whose passage is complete?
Whose memories lie in ruins
And whose ruins lie in heat?
When winter...
Comes howling in

When the wind is singing strangely
Blowing music through your head
And your rain splattered windows
Make you decide to stay in bed
Do you spare a thought for the homeless tramp who wishes he was dead?
Or do you pull the bed-clothes higher
Dream of summertime instead?
When winter...
Comes howling in

The creeping cold has fingers
That caress without permission
And mystic crystal snowdrops
Only aggravate the condition
Do you spare one thought for the gypsy with no secure position?
Who's turned and spurned by village and town
At the magistrate's decision?
When winter...
Comes howling in

When the turkey's in the oven
And the Christmas presents are bought
And Santa's in his module
He's an American astronaut
Do you spare one thought for Jesus, who had nothing but his thoughts?
Who got busted just for talking
And befriending the wrong sorts?
When winter...
Comes howling in

When winter...
Comes...
Howling...
In


5. LADY ELEANOR

Banshee playing magician sitting lotus on the floor
Belly dancing beauty with a power driven saw
Had my share of nightmares, didn't think there could be much more
Then in walked Rodrick Usher with the Lady Eleanor

She tied my eyes with ribbon of a silken ghostly thread
I gazed with trouble vision on an old four poster bed
Where Eleanor had risen to kiss the neck below my head
And bid me come along with her to the land of the dancing dead

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am

She gazed with loving beauty like a mother to a son
Like living, dying, seeing, being all rolled into one
Then all at once I heard some music playing in my bones
The same old song I'd heard for years, reminding me of home

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right where I am

Then creeping on towards me, licking lips with tongues of fire
A host of golden demons screaming lust and base desire
And when it seemed for certain that the screams could get no higher
I heard a voice above the rest screaming 'You're a liar'

But it's all right, Lady Eleanor
All right, Lady Eleanor
I'm all right here in your arms


6. TRAIN IN G MAJOR

City streets I see your lies
I will not play your game
No longer will you talk to me
You think I'm going insane
But I forgot my number
Now I'm remembering my name
I've been too long travelling on your train

You tried your best to strangle me
But I could take the pain
You tried to hypnotize me
But I seed right through your game
And now your tatty tricks to me
Are really rather tame
I've been too long travelling on your train

City lights don't shine
They glare
And your music doesn't speak
It swears
And in your streets
The girls have forgotten why they're there

Some day soon I know I'm going
Miles and miles away
Back to the garden where the magic children play
And to the country lady
Who knows more than I can say
Whose nights shine brighter than your day

And your city lights don't shine
They glare
And your music doesn't speak
It swears
And in your streets
The girls have forgotten why they're there

(No lyrics available)


8. BRAND NEW DAY

(No lyrics available)


9. GOOD TO BE HERE?

On and on we travelled on, a man upon his mount
So many miles had come and gone, I swear I had lost count
In my mind no purpose, just an aching to be free
On and on we travelled on forever to the sea.

The land loomed large ahead of me, it spread its wings so wide
But in a dream I seemed to fly to make the morning tide
And there on the dock stood the captain dressed in black
I climbed aboard his sailing ship and took a last look back.

And I saw the faces of everyone I'd known in my life at all
Lined up and laughing on the shore
'Goodbye' - they cried - 'you're off on a magic ride'
'Goodbye, dear boy, goodbye forever more'.

I guessed among this morbid throng for friends I'd loved and known
But as I gazed, the faces changed and merged into the one
And there, clear before me, with teardrops in her eyes
My wife stood lonely on the dock and asked the question why.

Before I had a chance to speak the captain gave a cry
All hands on deck anchors aweigh, you've said your last goodbye
And as the ship began to drift and the sea began to swell
The loneliness that belonged to me, I can't begin to tell.

And I saw the faces of everyone I'd known in my life at all
Lined up and laughing on the shore
'Goodbye' - they cried - 'you're off on a magic ride'
'Goodbye, dear boy, goodbye forever more'.

On and on we travelled on, through waters deep and wide
Through howling winds and raging seas were tossed from side to side
Then a voice cried out my name, I clearly heard it call
'Wake up, wake up, dear boy, wake up, it's just a dream, that's all'.

And I saw the face of my wife like the first time in my life
Laid back and laughing loud and clear
Just a dream, just a crazy midnight scream
Good morning, love, it's so good to be here
So good to be here
So good to be here
So good to be here
So good to be here.


10. WHEN FRIDAY COMES ALONG

One more Monday morning at the station
See the hangdog faces we all wear
They don't know I know the combination
When Friday comes along I'm gonna get my share.

Seasoned ticket holders, please, forgive me
I've had enough of Monday morning rain
I wonder if you knew you'd all come with me
When Friday comes along I'll never be the same.

Well, I've done more than my share
I know more about laissez-faire
Than to sit and wait until my ship comes in.

It took a whole lot of getting wise
And just a little bit of free enterprise
Before I realised that stealing is no sin.

Drag my name through scandal and sensation
Read about it on the Southern Line
I'm going where I need no reputation
When Friday comes along it's gonna work out fine.

I've got a ticket on a 747
And I'll be dancing all the way to heaven
When I get that Friday midnight flight down south.

And when my working day is done
I'll sell the story to the Sun
‘Cause I could never look a gift-horse in the mouth.

So if you get that early train next Monday
Say I won't go down without a fight
Even if I'm doing time by Sunday
When Friday comes along I'm gonna be alright
Yes, when Friday comes along I'm gonna be alright.


11. SUNDERLAND BOYS

Sunderland Boys making all the noise
Sunderland Boys making all the noise
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Young man working on a crane in the shipyard
Looking all around, looking down town
Looking at the old man
Living on the dole, man - living in a limbo.

Upside, downside, looking at the outside
Running with the tide, better run a mile
Bet a crooked dollar
On the dog with the crooked smile blow it in a disco.

[Chorus]
Sunderland Boys making all the noise
Sunderland Boys making all the noise
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

Government's saying that the poor relation
Is getting better off than the whole damn nation
Look out, they're gonna
Put us on a reservation.

[Chorus]

Government's saying that the poor relation
Is getting better off than the whole damn nation
Look out, they're gonna
Put us on a reservation.

[Chorus](x6)


12. I MUST STOP GOING TO PARTIES

I must stop going to parties, I think they're doing me in
My hair is falling out and I'm getting kind of thin.
I must stop going to parties, for that there is no doubt
Next time you see me there, will you kindly throw me out
I must stop going to parties, and hanging about.

For instance take last friday, when Terry came to tea
I thought I had enough to drink, but not enough for me
He said would I like to accompany him, to a place just over the hill
I said I really shouldn't, but perhaps I think I will.

[Chorus]
I must stop going to parties, I think they're doing me in
My hair is falling out and I'm getting kind of thin.
I must stop going to parties, for that there is no doubt
Next time you see me there, will you kindly throw me out
I must stop going to parties, and hanging about.

You seen the same old faces, you've seen them all before
You're gonna get so wasted, you won't be able to walk out the door
Then someone comes on heavy, 'bout the war in what's it's name
I say I think you're out of date mate, shouldn't that be the other place.

[Chorus]

Well the punch has all been drunk and the drunks have all been punched,

The magistrates irate and the doctor out to lunch

I don't know why I came in here, I'm such a weak-kneed creep

I must stop going to parties, i've got to get some sleep.

Excuse me, yeah it's Terry - won't you get to a party ?

I must stop going to parties hanging about (x4)


13. DANCE YOUR LIFE AWAY

Early morning into school, play the game by the golden rule
Do it like that, do it like this
Do like master, do it like miss.

Put your head down study hard, don't make no trouble in the old school yard
Buy some soap, don't have hope
You'll hang yourself with too much rope.

Do you believe it ? - I don't believe it.

[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance your life away, dance your life away
Dance your life away, dance your life away.

Well early in the morning open eyes, looking for work surprise, surprise
Do it like this yeah, do it like that
Get on your bike there's no rabbit in the hat.

Sorry son there's no work here, better come back in a week or maybe next year,
Don't ask questions, don't ask why,
You'll leave yourself high and dry.

Do you believe it ? - I don't believe it.

[Chorus]

Out with the boys having fun, everybody trying to be number one
Do it like this, do it like that
End up in the same old trap.

Listen to what the preacher say, you got jam tomorrow but not today
He know the score, he told you before
We're all passing through heaven's door.

Do you believe it ? - We don't believe it.

[Chorus]

Do you believe it ? - I don't believe it.
Do you believe it ? - We don't believe it.
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away
Do you believe it ? - Dance your life away


14. LOVE ON THE RUN

We got to go out tonight now baby,
I'll take you anywhere,
There's nowhere I wouldn't go you know,
I'm in love and I don't care.

There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
And you know what i've done
We gotta go out tonight,
'Cause we got love on the run,
Yeah, we got love on the run.

I know your daddy don't like me
And he better not bring a gun
When they tell him little girl and me,
We got love on the run,
Yeah, we got love on the run.

Run, run, runaway - get out of town
Run, run, runaway - don't hang around
Run, run, runaway - step out of line
Run, run, run before we run out of time.
Run, run, runaway - run in the night
Run, run, runaway - run to the light
Run, run, run we're gonna have some fun tonight.

Gonna take your daddy's car now baby,
Gonna drive it all night long
There's nothing I wouldn't do for you
And I don't care if it's wrong.

Trouble on the road ahead now baby,
But we're gonna have a lot of fun
Everybody likes to see a little
Love on the run,
Yeah, love on the run.

Run, run, runaway - get out of town
Run, run, runaway - don't hang around
Run, run, runaway - step out of line
Run, run, run before we run out of time.
Run, run, runaway - run in the night
Run, run, runaway - run to the light
Run, run, run we're gonna have some fun tonight.


15. CLEAR WHITE LIGHT

Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on?

Running along the ground singing a song in the morning light
Follow flowery fields as far as out of sight
Turning your head to the clouds and the skies and the trees
'Cause you never know what you might see.

Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
The way?

Seeing the sun as it wants to be seen by ev'ryone
Melting the sky throw a hole in your eye where the magic comes
Turning your heads to the skies with the clouds in your eyes
'Cause you never know what you might find

Do you believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on
The way?

Now is the time to be loving and kind to your fellow men
Seeing the sympathy starting out all over again
Now is the time to give love just one more go
'Cause you never know what you might know

And I believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on

Yes I believe
The clear white light
Is going to guide us on


16. MEET ME ON THE CORNER

Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me?

You won't have met me, and you'll soon forget me
So don't mind me tugging at your sleeve.
I'm asking you if I can fix a rendezvous.
For your dreams are all I believe

Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share

Lay down your bundles of rags and reminders
And spread your wares on the ground
Well I've got time, if you deal in rhyme
I'm just hanging around

Meet me on the corner when the lights are coming on
And I'll be there, I promise I'll be there
Down the empty streets we'll disappear until the dawn
If you have dreams enough to share

Hey Mr Dreamseller, where have you been?
Tell me have you dreams I can see?
I came along, just to bring you this song
Can you spare one dream for me?


17. ELVIS LIVES ON THE MOON

Space ships landing in the corn fields, couldn't come a day too soon
Shake your castanets and tambourines, Elvis lives on the moon.

Nostradamus saw the future, Uri Geller bent a spoon
On the other side it's so secure, Elvis lives on the moon

[Chorus]
And if all this is true, not just a mere circumstance
I might make it with you, I might just have a chance.

There's a curse waiting for you, down in Tutenkhamen's tomb
Don't let it scare or overaws you, Elvis lives on the moon

[Chorus]

My daddy told me keep an open mind, listen carefully what they say
And if Elvis is any friend of mine, you'll be mine some day

Elvis lives on the moon, yes he does
Elvis lives on the moon

Elvis lives on the moon


18. DAY OF THE JACKAL

My name is David, I live in Tel Aviv
I'm twelve years old, People call me Billy the Kid
My brother and my sister, are gone from my side
Lying together, for together they died

[Chorus]
Everybody dance, do the berserker
Everybody dance, soldier and worker
Pray to the Lord, We can learn to live together somehow
For the day of the jackal is now.

My name is Ishmail, I live in Beirut
I'm twelve years old, but I know how to shoot
My father and mother, were both refugees
With a gun on their head, they died on their knees

[Chorus]

My name is God, or Allah if you choose
And I bring you despair, destruction and abuse
I give you your lands, and you name them after me
But you tear them apart, from the desert to the sea.

[Chorus]


19. FOG ON THE TYNE

Sittin' in a sleazy snack-bar suckin'
Sickly sausage rolls
Slippin' down slowly
Slippin' down sideways
Think I'll sign off the dole

[Chorus]
'Cause the fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine, all mine
The fog on the Tyne is all mine

Could a copper catch a crooked coffin maker
Could a copper comprehend
That a crooked coffin maker is just an undertaker who
undertakes to be a friend

[Chorus]

Tell the truth tomorrow
Today will take it's time to
Tell you what tonight will bring,
Presently we'll have a pint or two together
Everybody do their thing

We can swing together
We can have a wee wee
We can have a wet on the wall
If someone slips a whisper
That his simple sister slapped them down
And they slavered on their smalls

[Chorus](x2)
