1. ALL THE REASONS

When I find myself in trouble and I need someone to lean on
I only have to call and you're right there by my side
When I can't see all the reasons why you have to be so far Away
I wonder if your love is really here to stay
And I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love for You
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me To

When you're telling me not to worry 'cos you're being there Won't be long
I only live in hope that you just can't be wrong
Because I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love For You
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me To
And I can't help my feelings and I can't hide my love for You
And I'll always believe in all the things that you want me To


2. BIG FAT MAMA

Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say you will be mine and I am yours
You think that you're way above me
I'm telling you that I can see
All those things that you might wanna be
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight

You keep telling me you're not having me
I'm telling you that I can see
All the things that you might wanna be
Say you need me, say you need me
Tell me that you want my love
Say will be mine and I am yours
I am yours tonight
You be mine tonight

I got a big fat Mama
With a big fat boy
Really thinks she's something else
But I love that woman
Like fish loves the water
And there is nobody else
I'm gonna tell you woman better do as you're told
If you don't, I'm gonna bringing you down
I've got a big fat Mama
And there's no one else around

I said say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me

Say you need me
Come on and say you need me
I said say you need me


3. PAPER PLANE

Riding on a big white butterfly
I turned my back away towards the sky
I closed my eyes to look for something
Saw myself as really nothing
Then I realised my butterfly
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my butterfly

Riding on a long blue paperplane
Getting seasick, sorry once again
Landing strip is getting nearer
Hope the foglifts, make it clearer
Then I realised my paperplane
Wasn't really up there with me
We all make mistakes, forgive me
Would you like to ride my paperplane

Riding in a three grand Deutche car
A to B is often very far
Home is near, but such a long way
Legs and heads all feel the wrong way
Then I realised my Deutche car
Is only there to get me somewhere
Even so I really do care
Would you like to ride my Deutche car


4. BLUE-EYED LADY

Little blue eyed lady, how come you're all alone?
I've been asking, no-one seems to know
To whom do you belong little blue eyed lady?

The band are really moving, everyone is grooving around
Little lady, you're still sitting down
Excuse me if you will, little blue eyed lady
The party's nearly over, your eyes still read the same
Are you looking for one who never came?
Are you a passing cloud or a new found baby?

Little new found baby, how come you're all alone?
I've been asking, no-one seems to know
Are you a passing cloud little blue eyed lady?


5. REASON FOR LIVING

I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker
And I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there

I thought there should have been someone
But I wasn't quite sure who
It finished me to find there was no-one
That I could take my troubles to
So I knelt down by my bedside
And I started to say a prayer
It was when I asked for nothing
I could feel that there was somebody there

I'm looking still, but it's easy
'cos I know which way to go
It doesn't matter how long it takes me
'cos there's someone there to help me who knows
All the things that I am after
All the loving that I want to share
It's so hard but I don't mind
'cos there really is somebody there

I felt in need of some loving
So I sat down on a wall
I tried to find a reason for living
But I couldn't find a reason at all
So I owned up to my maker
And I started to say a prayer
I waited for an answer
But there wasn't anybody there


6. ROLL OVER LAY DOWN

When I got home that night early one morning
Seeing the note written in ink pinned to the door
Drinking the drink cold from the fridge on the table
I drank a toast you were the most the night before

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the care you showed in the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down

When I get home tomorrow night after this morning
Show me the day, show me the note the night before
Maybe I won't take a drink from the table
Reckon I'll lay me straight down on the floor

Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over it's a long way where I've been
Roll over lay down and let me in
Roll over lay down


7. CAROLINE

Oh anytime of yours is my time
We can find time for love
Sweet love

8. SOFTER RIDE

I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride

I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

Find me a schack
Where it's cool inside
Turn my back
On the cold outside
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

I could go back
To the job I had
But the same old thing
Only drives me mad, so

I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more
Never again
Will I have to be..down
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more

Stay in bed
Til' I'm satisfied
And let my head
Take a softer ride
I ain't gonna work
I ain't gonna work no more


9. BACKWATER

Down at Backwater junction rolling down the line
In the dark early morning I heard the one-forty-nine
I was walking down the highway, needed somewhere to go
A lady laid beside me and she invited me home
She led me cold, tired and hungry down the backwater road

In a house on the corner looking over the track
I woke up with a fever and a pain in my back
She was lying there beside me, my fever started to grow
Had a funny feeling but the lady said no
My lover needs a doctor down the Backwater Road

Whatcha lookin' for, whatcha lookin' for
Lady do you know what cha' lookin' for
Was I wrong to play along?
Lady was I right or lady was I wrong?

Backwater doctor, you've got me breathing in time
It's ten-thirty in the morning and I'm feeling alright
I went back to my lady but I wasn't to know
Lady left this morning and she's not coming home
I was cold when she left me down the Backwater Road


10. JUST TAKE ME

I am just a poor man, got nowhere to go
All my leaves have fallen, left me all alone
If I was a rich man, if I was a king
I would give you all I have, give you everything
If you'd just take me, just take me now
If you'd just take me

Never seen my daddy, died when I was two
Mama did the best she could, taught me all she knew
Said that love was everything, tears came to her eyes
Never knew the meaning, now I realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me

I'm trying hard to get you, I'm not the only one
Never had a big car, but I'm not on the run
If love has got a meaning see it in my eyes
If you see the beginning, then you'd realise
Love is all you need, all you need now
If you just take me
Just take me
Just take me now
Won't you just take me


11. BREAK THE RULES

Spent a long, long evening in a low down honky-tonk bar
Pulled a low down lady with a long black honky-tonk car
I asked no questions, I got no lies
A one off winner, I didn't want any ties
And I knew it wasn't right
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

Took me down on the highway doing too many miles an hour
And by the way she motored thought we might have made the Eiffel tower

She stopped the motor by her own front door
I knew she'd done it so many times before
But I was off of the floor
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I woke up next morning feeling kind of up and down
'Cos I did not know if I was in or out of the town
Then I saw the face from the night before
My purse was empty lying there on the floor
But like I told you before
That, everybody has to sometimes break the rules

I spend a low down evening sitting high on a honky-tonk Stool
And I spent my money like a low down honky-tonk fool
But everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Well, everybody has to sometimes break the rules
Yes, everybody has to sometimes break the rules


12. DRIFTING AWAY

You can't see what you mean to me
I just can't get you out of my head
You move me more than I've ever been
Like a wild supersonic jet
But I can't see your love drifting away
And I don't want your love d-d-d-drifting away

I got told by a friend of mine
That you don't want me anymore
Now my friend's got a broken nose
Sure, and I got a broken jaw
So don't push me around, I'm coming your way
And I don't want your love d-d-d-drifting away

Don't you know what I'm living for?
Don't you know what I'm trying to say?
Don't try to shove me outta that door
'Cos you're mine and it's staying that way

I'm giving you my love, don't throw it away
But I can see your love d-d-d-drifting away
Oh, drifting away, you got me drifting away
Oh, drifting away
