But I`m too tough to just give in,
Moving on down with the longshore men,
On the docks we`re locked out again.

2. BOUGHT AND SOLD

All right...
I'm feeling bought and sold,
You're just a three card trickster.
That's something I should've known,
All the good's sure gone bitter.

Hear me now, hear me right.

You think you've got it made,
You think you've got my number.
You'd better check again,
I don't intend to stay here.

Hear me now, hear me right.

It's time-wasting,
Checking up on you.
You're high-flying,
You'll be crash-landing soon.

That's true.
All right.

You want your world my friend,
I think those days are numbered.
I've had it up to here,
Everything's come asunder.

Hear me now, hear me right.

I'm feeling bought and sold,
You're just a three card trickster.

All the good's sure gone bitter.

Hear me now, hear me right.


3. BAD PENNY

Well, like a bad penny you've turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby and I broke like a shell.
Like a bad penny you've sure lost the glow
But I'm out of reach, your smile's sure gone cold.
Well, it can't ever be like it was then,
Well, don't you fool with me, baby,
Don't you mess with my plans.

Some stormy nights, your memory haunts me,
You won't go away.

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up in the change,
Try to fit into the picture, you can't get inside the frame.
I think you know I'm still sore, but I'm on the mend,
Times sure have changed, it won't happen again.

Well, like a bad penny spins around and around,
Well, you won't know what's gone wrong when it all falls down,
You got to learn from now on to stop playing games,
You ought to keep on moving, you got to spin on your way.

Some lonely nights, I hear you calling,
Won't you go away?

Well, like a bad penny you have turned up again,
You're in my sights, there's a mist on my lens.
I think you know how it was when I tripped and fell,
Well, you double-dealed me, baby, I cracked like a shell.


4. CRUISE ON OUT

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.
You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna cruise on down the line.

Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.

Well that cat I will be paying,
C'mon and get your share,
I've got transportation,
And I can get you there.

Well I know your daddy's anxious,
That you told a lie,
I guess he's goin' to blow his stack,
If you don't come home on time.

Come on and cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.

Yeah...

Well this feelin' I will pick it,
Just as long as you will stay,
The boys in the band will play all night,
If they would have their way.

If you want to dress up to the nines,
And look like something else,
I'm goin' to put on my alligator shoes,
I'll go out to play..

Come on cruise on out with me,
Won't you cruise on out with me.

Well, the fat man plays that upright,
Freeze you at the knees,
This band's in full control,
of 87 and one half keys.

In this full scale commotion,
The place will never drop,
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too pooped to pop.
You better leave town gracefully,
If you're too stuped to stop.

Come on cruise on out with me,
Well, won't you cruise on out with me.

Well that cat you will be payin',
You ought to make you there,
When that drummer hits the rim shot,
It almost busts the snare.

You put on your cat clothes,
And I will put on mine,
Together pretty babe,
We're gonna step on down the line.

Won't you cruise on out with me,
Come on, cruise on out with me.
Won't you cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.

Won't you cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.

Come on cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out,
Cruise on out with me.

Awwwhhhh...


5. CREST OF A WAVE

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave,
If that's where you want to be,
But does the look on your face,
Mean you're really feeling happy?
Or do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
Or a poor man much to proud to beg,
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
You gotta see by the way that they are talking,
That it's time for you to pick up your grip... start walking,
'Cause they want to see your long ... legs flying,
Go to the place where the earth meets the sky and,
Don't stop to turn around and wave goodbye at all.

They won't be satisfied,
Till you're out of their sight,
But I wonder how will they feel,
With a deck of cards,
And you're not around to deal.... yeah.

They won't be satisfied,
Till you're out of their sight,
But I wonder how will they feel,
With a deck of cards,
You're not around to deal?
You're not around to deal.

Well, they say it's a lie, a joke that you are living,
But you know one thing they don't, you won't give in.
'Cause you're like a cat, chasin' its tail,
Makes a million circles, but you're gonna fail,
Look down you just don't understand.

Well you can ride on the crest of a wave,
If that's where you want to be,
But does the look on your face,
Mean you're really feeling happy?
Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
A poor man much to proud to beg,
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?

Well, do you feel like you're standing on a wooden leg,
Or a poor man much to proud to beg,
Or a page from a book that can't be read at all?
Read at all.


6. I'M NOT SURPRISED


I'm not surprised, you didn't take the time to write me.
I'm not surprised, you didn't take the time to call.
But baby, you know it really shook me.
When baby, I heard you're not coming back at all.

I'm not surprised, you didn't stop to think about me.
I'm not surprised, you let me vanish from your brain.

But baby, you know it over took me.
When my freind said, you're gonna leave me here behind.

Whoa..hoa...

Why must it be? Why must it be?
Why must it be? Why must it be?

I'm not surprised, you started out without me.
I'm not surprised, you even stopped to care.

But baby, if you must desert me.
When you go, don't talk about me when I'm not there.

9. EDGED IN BLUE

I've cried enough tears to fill up an ocean,
Surely you see that my world's been broken?
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.

You made up your mind and nothing can change it,
You want to be free but I can't rearrange it.

Here I am, where are you?
Tell me please, what to do,
Here I am, broken into,
All my days are edged in blue.

I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.

I'd go anywhere, if I thought you'd be there,
'Cos I've made up my mind that's where I belong.
I've traveled the world 'cos I couldn't be told,
Told by my heart that you really had gone.

Yeah....

Our lines got crossed through all things unspoken.
A tangle of knots not easily opened,

Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through.
Here I am, where are you?
All my days are edged in blue.
Here I am, where are you?
Help me please, pull me through,
Here I am, where are you?
Can't you see I'm edged in blue.
Ohhh.......
Ohhh.......

10. THEY DON'T MAKE THEN LIKE YOU ANYMORE

They don't make them like you anymore,
That's for sure,
And when they made you,
They made sure they threw away the mold.
It comes as no surprise to me,
That I want to be in your vicinity.
If I stand close to you,
I'm not sure if I'm really there.
With my feet on the ground,
But my head it's lost in the air,
Oh, how I wish you could see,
That I'd love to be in your vicinity.

Where would I go?
What would I do if you should run from me?
How does it show were I to lose?
Would you explain to me?
There's something growing,
There's something showing,
There's something won't let me be.
Yeahhh..

I want to be in your vicinity.

Well I've heard that one day,
Everything comes to him that waits,
Well that may be so,
But you know it may be too late,
Oh, how I'd love for you to see,
That I want to be in you vicinity.


11. THE DEVIL MADE ME DO IT

Well the devil made me do it, do it, do it,
The devil made me trip and fall,
The devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no chance at all.
What did I do that was so bad,
To go and get myself arrested?
Just in town to have some fun,
But I ended up in the trash can.
There I was in the witness stand,
My eyes turned towards the jury,
Trying to recall what went wrong last night,
But it won't come right back to me.

Yeah, the devil made me do it, do it, do it,
The devil made me trip and fall,
Well, the devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no mind at all.

The lawyer said, "Son, won't you plead the fifth,
And don't speak unless requested".
Using all the words at his command,
His skills were sorely tested.
Then to my complete surprise,
They went and called a hostile witness,
The devil himself, well he took the stand,
And that's where my case rested.

Well, the devil drove me do it, do it, do it,
The devil made me trip and fall,
Well, the demon drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no chance at all.

To go and get myself arrested?

Trying to recall what went wrong last night,
But it won't come right back to me.

The devil drove me to it, to it, to it,
Till I had no mind at all.
