ACHILLES LAST STAND
It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Whoa, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had.
Whoa, the songs to sing
When we at last return again.
Sending off a glancing kiss
To those who claim they know
Below the streets that steam and hiss,
The devil's in his home.
Whoa, to sail away
Sandy lands and other days.
Whoa, to touch the dream
That hides inside and is never seen, yeah.
Into the sun of south and north
At last the birds have flown.
The shackles of commitment fell
In pieces on the ground.
Whoa, to ride the wind
To tread the air above the din.
Whoa, to laugh aloud
Dancing high above the crowd, yeah.
Seek the man whose pointing hand
The giant step unfolds
With guidance from the curving path
That churns up into stone
If one bell should ring
Celebration for a king
So fast the heart should beat
As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah.
Days went by when you and I
Made an eternal summer's glow
As far away and distant
Our mutual time to grow.
Whoa, the sweet refrain
It soothes the soul and calms the pain.
Oh, Albion remains
Sleeping now to rise again.
Wandering the wanderings
What place to rest the search?
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth,
From the earth...
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
It was an April morning
When they told us we should go.
And as I turned to you, you smiled at me
How could we say no?
Whoa, the fun to have
To live the dreams we always had.
Whoa, the songs to sing
When we at last return again.
Sending off a glancing kiss

Know the way, know the way.
I know the way, know the way,
Know the way, know the way.
Where the mighty arms of Atlas
Hold the heavens from the earth.

ROYAL ORLEANS
One-time love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
And if you take your pick,
Be careful how you choose it
Sometimes it's hard to feel it bite.
Feel it bite.
A man I know
Went down to Louisiana,
Had himself a bad, bad fight
And when the sun peeked through
John Cameron with Suzanna,
He kissed the whiskers, left and right.
Whiskers!
Now, now, now, fright subsides
Out at a hotel in the quarter,
Our friends check in to pass the night
Now love gets hot,
But fire preceded water
Poor whiskers set the room alight.
Whiskers!
Down on Bourbon Street,
You know, it's right
You can see, my friend,
They run around all through the night
Most everywhere
Until the closet's bare
Run for the razor fun
Doin' up my hair.
New Orleans queens
Sure know how to schmooze it
Maybe for some that seems alright
When I step out,
strut down with my sugar
She'd best not talk like Barry White!
Now one town love,
Take care how you use it
Try to make it last all night
Take your pick
Be careful how you choose it

Oh baby, baby,

Oh baby, baby,
It's more than anybody else could do.
Well... Oh baby, baby,

Oh baby, baby,
Well, you lookin' good enough to eat
Oh baby baby,
I don't believe I've tasted this before
Oh baby, baby,
I want it now and in a month or more.
Yeah, talk about, yeah
Yeah, talk about, yeah.
Oh baby, baby,
You know that I wanted it more
Oh baby baby,
I'm about to kiss goodbye to this store
Oh baby, baby,
It ain't the wrapping that sells the goods
Oh baby, baby,
I got a sweet tooth, but my mouth is full.
Yeah, talk about, yeah
Ooh, yeah, talk about, yeah.
Yeah, talk about, yeah
Ooh, yeah, talk about, yeah.
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright
Ooh, baby, it's alright, it's alright.
Well... Oh baby, baby,
Oh, you sting me like a bee
Oh baby, baby,
I like your honey and it sure likes me
Oh baby, baby,
I got my spoon inside your jar
Oh baby, baby,
Don't give me too much, don't make me starve.
Oh baby, baby,
Sugar sister on a silver plate, huh
Oh baby, baby,
I need a mouthful and I just can't wait, no
Oh baby, baby,
See the shaking in my hand
Oh baby, baby,
Don't mean to fumble 'cause it tastes so bad,
Tastes so bad, tastes so bad,
Tastes so bad, tastes so bad.

HOTS ON FOR NOWHERE
I was burned in the heat of the moment
No, it coulda been the heat of the day
When I learned how my time had been wasted,
Dear fellows, I turned away.
Now I've got friends who will give me their shoulder
When I should happen to fall
The timing is right growin' older
I've got friends who will give me fuck fall.
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.
The corner of Bleeker and nowhere
In the land of not quite day
A shiver runs down my backbone
Face in the mirror turns grey.
So I looked 'round to hitch up the reindeer
Searching hard trying to brighten the day
I turned around to look for the snowman
To my surprise he'd melted away, yeah.
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.
As the moon and the stars call the order
Inside my tides dance the ebb and sway
The sun in my soul's sinking lower
While the hope in my hands turns to clay.
I don't ask that my field's full of clover
I don't moan at opportunity's door
And if you ask my advice, take it slower
Then your story'd be your finest reward.
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la
Now do it.
Lost on the path to attainment
Search in the eyes of the wise
When I bled from the heart of the matter
I started bleeding without a disguise.
Now everything's fine under heaven
Now and then you've got to take time to pause
When you're down on the ground, don't be messin' around
You can land in a boat without oars.
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la na na, my baby
La la la la la la, yeah,
La la la la la la.
Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh, hey, babe,
I lost my way.
Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
I really, really did.
Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
I don't know where I'm gonna find it.
Hey, babe, oh, hey, babe, oh,
Do you wanna know?
Do you really, really wanna help me, yeah?
Let me tell you now, babe
Oh, let me tell you, oh
That it feels so good, that it must be right.
Come on, babe
Oh, let me tell you
If it feels so good, then it must be right.
Come on, babe
Oh, let me tell you, oh
If it feels, if it feels, if it feels, if it feels
So good, oh, so good, oh, so good
Oh, yes
TEA FOR ONE
How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days?
Oh, twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seem to slip into days, yeah
When a minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby, when I feel this way.
Sittin', lookin' at the clock,
Oh, time moves so slow
I've been watchin' for the hands to move
Until I just can't look no more.
How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes seems to slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Baby, when I feel this way.
To sing a song for you,

"Oh, baby, this one's for we two,"
Which in the end is you anyway.
How come twenty-four hours,
Baby, sometimes slip into days?
A minute seems like a lifetime,
Oh, baby when I feel this way.
There was a time that I stood tall
In the eyes of other men
But by my own choice I left you, woman,
And now I can't get back again.

Sometimes seem to slip into days? Yes, well
Well, well, well, well,
